Hello, my Epson printer has a message saying the ink absorber needs to be repaired. What can I do to change it or can I buy one?

Configuration: Android / Chrome 95.0.4638.74

    Hello ....

    There are 2 solutions
    1 ► Find an authorized Epson agent in your area who apparently does this for free + transportation costs? (subject to confirmation as I’ve never tried) ► See this link

    2 ► Use WIC Reset
    ✅ Reset the used ink counter of this printer using the WIC Reset Utility available ►Here in its free version which only allows one attempt, and the used ink counter is only partially reset but the printer should work again unless there are other related issues...?
    ✅ For your information, the paid version costs less than €10 ► Here
    ✅ Your printer is generally compatible with this utility ► See the list

    For your information, ideally, the ink pad should be replaced after resetting the ink counter, but this is not at all easy to do as you need access to it.... but your printer should work and function normally... but for how long???

    See example ► Here

    ✅ If that doesn't work, you need to find an authorized Epson center in your area and ask if the service is still free, if not ► how much it costs ... compared to the price of a new printer
