Download the MP tool and run with your PC right after the resetting mode. But normally this resetting does the trick.

Works - BUT - only as long as the printer is left running - turn it off and when you turn it back on again you have the same problem. I suspect that the only way to do a re-set is using the appropriate software.

Feeling happy. I took my epson MP 250 apart,
took out the ink drainage pad (very messy )
washed it, dried, it put everything back together
and used your instructions and video to get past the code counter.
run off a sheet and all fine.
1 less printer in the land fill at least for a while.
Thank you !!

Didn't work for me. My computer doesn't go to zero after releasing the button.
