Epson Stylus Photo RX500 red issues

SOURCE: Epson RX500 waste pad replacement instructions

It's quite complex, but the instructions can be found (for a price) here:

I bought the instructions, but can't find a source of the pads. I am trying to clean my old ones, but they are pretty filthy. Please let me know where you got yours. Thanks. Rob.

Unfortunately, the Russian software does not work on a Mac, and it crashes at launch when installed in WZ98 under Virtual PC. However, I found this on another site, and it worked immediately:

The sequence to reset the waste ink counter is as follows:

WASTE INK ROM RESET ONLY 870, 1270

1. Turn the printer off using the power button on the panel of the printer.
2. Disconnect the interface cable at the back of the printer.
3. Hold down the "LOAD/EJECT" and "CLEANING" buttons simultaneously.
4. Turn the printer on. Release all buttons as soon as paper out light flashes.
5. Quickly press (within 3 seconds while PAPER OUT light is flashing) the "CLEANING" button for 10 seconds.
6. Release the button and the printer will initialize.
7. Once initialization is complete, turn the printer off.
8. Reconnect the interface cable.
9. Turn the printer on

Works great, no muss...no fuss!

SOURCE: I have an epson Stylus photo RX420 and have

Yes, it is. Select CX4600(4500)/CX36x0(3500)/RX42x(430)/PM-A700.
RX42x covers RX420/RX425.
Minimise to tray, click on icon in notification area and select protection counter - reset protection counter.
Its there for a reason mind, so replace or clean the overflow sponge first!

I held down the three keys mentioned by rioglen but when the printer came back on, it showed the message 'copy endurance', I pushed the select button to the right I think 4 times until it showed 'rst ink OCD', I then pushed the 'color' button, it then showed to turn off printer, I did this and all was ok!
