OK, this utility is difficult to find, and is written for the Epson Stylus Photo R290, but works just as well for the Epson Stylus Photo R285.

Most people will simply want this to Reset the Waste Ink Counter on the printer.

Steps to take:

1. Download the Compressed RAR file and extract it to a folder
2. Change your system date to 01-04-2008
3. Run the batch file called LIMPIAR
4. Confirm date as 01-04-2008
5. When the utility starts, choose 'Personal Adjustment'
6. From here, choose the option you require (usually Waste Ink Counter) and reset
7. Reset system date to correct date

For those of you unable to extract the RAR file, download a free utility such as 7zip to do so.
