A friend just got the above message and their printer has stopped working. Does anyone know how this can be overridden so the printer can continue working? It seems a pity to throw away the printer.

    It's stopped working for a reason, the pads have absorbed enough ink to the point where its possibly they are full and to continue using may "flood" the printer.

     its a ten year old printer.  There are replacement pads on Amazon1 but you'll have to take the printer apart to replace them and fix them and then figure out how to reset the waste counter in the software

    Check the Epson reset utility and see if your printer is on the list of compatible printers.
