741961 2009-01-25 21:44:00 Have a CX1500 epson printer which has just spat out a "service required" message. "Parts inside your printer are at the end of their service life. See your printer documentation."

1) I haven't got the documentation.
2) Tried the Epson website but can't find any information.
3) Right in the middle of something & need it urgently - as per Murphy's Law !

If anyone has any ideas or knows a way to get it printing again without having a service ... i'd certainly appreciate it.

Regards,
Dave.

741962 2009-01-25 21:46:00 Does it have a separate print head? IN which case replace that.
Otherwise, it may be stuffed. Or at least stuffed enough to not be economical.

Whats its symptoms if any?

Just came up with the message and stopped printing in the middle of a document & can't get it going again. It's probably a counter and its reached it's 5,000 pages or something. Ink light is on solid but cartidges OK .... thought the damn thing might have given a bit of warning before switching itself off .... right in the middle of a 20 page run !
Hoping there may have been a way to reset it and carry on printing for a while.
