Just to note that I checked this out on the newer D88 (which is the UK version of the C88) and found the instructions and layout to be exactly the same as the earlier C84/86 models..

The only downside is that you still need a reset utility to reset the waste counter. This is not available at present but if I hear of anything I'll post up here.

Just to update this..

The D88 is now supported by the SSC utility so the earlier post is now out of date... You may still need to reset the waste ink counter before it reaches the service required message however.

Also, owing to a little short-sightedness on my part, the images and links to the images in the knowledge base article weren't correct so I've updated the information and they will now point to the correct place.

Apologies for that hiccup...
