Wait, I thought the counter can be reset with some specific button presses only. I've seen the video guides on YouTube.

w00t? I will really have to look into that. There's a reasonably priced 2nd hand A3 ecotank in my vicinity, and I've been avoiding it because of this.

Do you have sources?

Dang, I can't find it anymore. I swear I watched a video about an ecotank counter reset once, since I was also interested in buying it one time. I'll have to dig into my YouTube history.

That can be quite the adventure, which I won't ask you to undertake. Because google returned a result from the site with the subs, where someone has gotten a copy of the original epson maintenance software ;)

Oh nice, so no more sketchy Russian software?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

I don't know, it's in an encrypted zip-file, so it doesn't bode well. I'll have to put it on a VM on an old host, and see what happens when I upload it to virustotal. But it should be the original piece of software at least.
