Epson S22 Waste Ink Counter Reset
If your Epson S22 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.
A waste ink counter in the Epson S22 accumulates after cleaning operations. Once it reaches a limit, printing is stopped to prevent overflow.
