When wanting to reset your Epson printer, usually the SSC for Epson program should do the trick. The program allows you to reset the protection counter and continue to use your printer even though Epson is saying it needs to be 'repaired'. This program does not work for those who have the new range of Epson printers but if you follow our advice below, you should be able to get around any problems.

We suggest you download and install the ResetterForC79 program before attempting to reset the protection counter your Epson printer.

Take the following steps:
