complément sur la recherche de SSCS service utility :
Epson donne pour chaque modèle de machine, un nombre maxi de copies.
Pour la C46, j'ai constaté que c'était 3800 copies.
Ma machine s'est bloquée à 3801, avec les deux leds clignotant alternativement, avec le message dans statut monitor 'Des éléments de l'imprimante sont arrivés au terme de leur durée de vie" comme toi. Ce message est faux, car j'ai remis ma machine en route, hier, avec textes et photos.....
Effectivement il faut remettre ce compteur copie à Zéro.
J'ai téléchargé du site http://www.ssclg.com/epson.shtml le programme SSCutility ( c'est gratuit) en choissant la bonne série de l’imprimante à réparer.
Après téléchargement et ouverture du programme SSC service Utility, il faut fermer ce programme pour obtenir une icône près de l'horloge (un dessin d'imprimante colorée).
(point 1)en cliquant sur cette icone avec le coté droit de la souris,différents choix sont proposés, dont "Protection counter" Pointer la souris sur ce choix et cliquer sur "Show current value"
A ce moment on obtient l'information "current value" avec un nombre de copies effectuées"
et "maximum value" sans doute avec 3800
Si le nombre indiqué dans "current value est supérieur, sans doute 3801", cela prouve que le problème est bien le nombre de copies.
A ce moment, en choisissant encore "Protection counter" tapez sur "Reset protection counter"puis aussi "Clear Counteroverflow"
et revenir au point 1 ci-dessus, la "current value" devrait indiquer à zéro.
Si c'est le cas; le problème est résolu. Il reste à fermer le Pc et à le relancer.
Pour plus de sûreté, j'avais désinstallé le pilote de la C46 et je l'avais réinstallé. Ce n'est peut-être pas nécessaire.
Ce processus semble identique pour tous les modèles Epson et le programme SSC utility répond à un grand nombre de machines Epson
