The waste ink tank/pads for an Epson Stylus DX8450 printer are located at the bottom of the printer's housing, beneath the print head. Here are the steps to access and replace the waste ink tank/pads:

Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
Open the printer cover to access the ink cartridges.
Gently push the print head to the right to move it to the ink cartridge replacement position.
Look for the waste ink tank/pads at the bottom of the printer housing, just beneath the print head. They may be covered by a small plastic panel.
Remove the plastic panel, if present, by gently pulling it toward you.
Use tweezers or gloves to carefully remove the old waste ink tank/pads from the printer.
Replace the old waste ink tank/pads with a new one, making sure they are seated properly.
Replace the plastic panel, if present.
Push the print head back to its original position.
Close the printer cover.
Plug the printer back into the power source and turn it on.
Reset the waste ink counter by following the instructions in your printer manual or by using a reset utility program.

It's important to note that replacing the waste ink tank/pads can be a messy and complicated process, and it may be best to have it done by a qualified technician or Epson service center to avoid damaging your printer or causing a mess.

Your printer needs to be reset, you need a software resetter,you can use SSC utility. But you must clean first the waste pad inside the printer or the best thing there is to move the waste hose outside the printer.There is a waste hose that is going through the waste pad then instead of letting it throwing ink on the waste pad, change the direction of the hose,point it outside the printer and put external vessel or tank where to dump ink.

Reset ink-pad counter on epson stylus photo 1400

Hi,

The simplest way to do this is to grab a copy of the A10_IPR utility that Epson distribute to their customers...

The utility is available to North American customers if you register no this site page http://www.epson.com/ipr/

The utility is also know to be available in the wild if you search for "waste ink ipr".

Just remember to scan any download using a virus and malware scanner before you attempt to use it as some utilities contain trojans or similar nasties.

Hope that helps.
