Yes it still works. Epson ink is very expensive. Have a set of capatables ready and waiting.

Thanks for your ........ interest.

Dont know how this forum works, but can you help me with this problem.

I have a EPSON STYLUS PHOTO R 300 about 3 years old. now im getting this message:
Service required. Parts inside your printer are at the end of their service life. See your printer's documentation for details.

Is there any way to solve this or do I just go and buy a new printer

cheers Dougie Durie Alucard666

Coincidentally, a friend asked me about something similar not so long ago. We didn't come to any conclusion and I think he binned the printer and bought a new one. But your question aroused my curiosity and I did a bit of 'googling' with the following results:

1. There seems to be some sort of waste ink/cartidge counter in the R300. Apparently it can be reset by holding down three buttons for 10 secs. More details here

2. There's a freeware "service utility" for Epson printers here that looks like it can be used to play around with all sorts of settings.

DISCLAIMER: use any of this information at your own risk! I found this info on the web after minimal searching and I have no idea if it is correct. And even if it is, any utility to tweak internal firmware settings sounds like a potentially dangerous tool to me! Still, if the alternative is to scrap the printer . . . . Good Luck

Thank you very much, I was just about to scrap my Epson R300 when I read your thread. I had contacted Epson and they advised me to go to a computer shop and they wanted to charge me £25 + the cost of a repair. Once again thank you Flyfisher.

Hi, Can someone please help.

I have the Epson R300 and I have lost my CD for installing everything. I have downloaded the drivers etc from the web and the printer is working perfectly. I am only missing one part. The CD printing software. Can someone who has this printer possibly ZIP the content of the CD and email it to me. Kris@kris-stuart.co.uk this would be a massive help.
