Hi, Sally Probably a little late - but maybe this will help others. Switch off printer, hold down 'Power' 'Maintenance' and 'Stop' buttons simultaneously for between 5 and 10 secs and the printer will switch itself on and reset itself. There may be a grinding noise - but this is normal. Switch off and switch on again, and hey, presto!:-) The reason for the 'service' message is that Epson apparently program a counter into the printer, and when a certain number of prints have been completed (or a certain time has passed)the printer flashes up this message and wants you to book an Epson service. I've been told that this is an 'evil ploy' by Epson to generate revenue - but I wouldn't DREAM of suggesting that!:-) All I know is that I have reset my own R300 three times, and it's still going strong.

I followed these instructions from an earlier post and they worked perfectly. The slight gringing sound was not slight at all and the thing sounded like it was self destructing but it didn't last long and it worked out.

C-C good, sounds like you are experiencing ink starvation. If you put water on the cap assembly pad and run a cleaning cycle you can determine whether there is a pump problem. The cap assembly is on the right side of the printer where the carriage comes to rest. Power on the printer and pull the plug when it starts to go through its initialization process.

Epson PictureMate Factory Reset: You can reset the print settings to their original, default values. Press and hold down the Cancel button for 3 seconds. When the message to reset the printer to default settings appears, press OK to reset the print settings.

You should be able to move the carriage to the left, exposing the pad. Puddle water on the pad, move the carriage to its home position, turn printer on and run cleaning cycle.

Following the cycle go through the above steps to see whether the water has been sucked away. If not, you have a pump or tubing problem. Hope this helps. Hp Xw4400 Install Windows 7 on this page.

Yay, I don't have to buy a new printer. I have not tried this program on an Epson R3000. I have an R800, 1270,1280 and a CX6600 Epson printers. All of them have had the error to service them. It seems an internal counter had determined that the waste tank was full. I downloaded a program that allows a user to reset the counter. It worked VERY well for each of the above.
