The Epson L558 is a widely used Epson printer. Like many Epson devices, it can stop printing when the internal waste ink counter reaches its predefined limit.

During head cleaning and maintenance cycles, excess ink is routed to internal absorber pads. The Epson L558 uses a software counter to estimate pad saturation and locks printing at a set threshold.

Why Does the Epson L558 Show ‘Service Required’?

With Wic Reset Connect, you can reset the Epson L558 waste ink counter quickly using a Windows PC, USB connection, and a valid reset key.

Common Symptoms

• ‘Service Required’ / service life message in driver or utility
