Epson XP-2151 Waste Ink Counter Reset
If your Epson XP-2151 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance warning, it is often caused by the waste ink (ink pad) counter threshold.
The Epson XP-2151 tracks waste ink with an internal counter. Because it is an estimate (not a physical sensor), it may trigger before the pads are actually full.
