    You can use WIC Reset Utility under Linux.

    Download Linux versions here - http://www.2manuals.com/WIC/linux/

     

    1. Differences between /dev/usb and /dev/bus/usb.
    In the Linux system same devices may be presented on the different levels of the /dev directory, each of them using different drivers stack. For example inkjet printer can be accesed from the /dev/usb/lp0 and /dev/bus/usb/002/004, but in the first case it's actually a printer (line printer 0) and in the second - generic usb device. WIC Reset will work only in the first case, thus creating aliases from /dev/bus/usb to /dev will not help to solve any problems and can be potentially harmful.

    2. Access rights. Read me!
    By default access rights for /dev/usb/lp* are defined like this:

    ls l /dev/usb
    crw-rw---- root lp 180, 0 Oct 27 02:38 lp0

    Thus only root and members of `lp` group can access the printer.
    There several ways to deal with this problem.

    2.1. Add user to the `lp` group.
    The simplest way is to add current user to the `lp` group and then reboot:
    sudo usermod -a -G lp $(id -n -u)
    sudo reboot

    2.2. Change access rights for single printer.
    Find our printer in /dev (for example, lp0) and then:
    sudo chmod o+rw /dev/usb/lp0

    2.3. Run application as root:

    Warning!
    Running application using root account may be dangerous.
    You can use su, sudo or gksudo from gksu package.

    su
    wicreset
    sudo wicreset
    sudo apt-get install gksu
    gksudo wicreset

    When sudo is used system will not change user directory which may cause some warnings. On the other hand gksudo will always use root directory. In both cases all files created by the application will belong to the root, and therefore will be inaccessible by regular users. Also when application started using sudo or gksudo in KDE, GTK is unable to properly initialize all necessary resources.

    2.4. Edit udev rules:
    You can change default access rights for the printer using device manager.
    For more details read udev manual page and this article: Writing Udev Rules by Daniel Drake.

    3. Installation.
    You can install WIC Reset either from console or using package manager.

    3.1. Installation from console.
    Install package using `dpkg` command from the directory, where package has been downloaded.
    Fix missing dependencies using `apt-get`.
    sudo dpkg i wicreset-i386.deb
    sudo apt-get -f install

    3.2. Installation from package manager.

    3.3. Conflicts with App Armor.

    Newest versions of the Ubuntu and its derivatives has App Armor rules enforcement enabled by default which may prevent WICReset from accessing printer's USB. If this is the case, please, configure App Armor to run application in the complain mode and relaunch wicreset:

    sudo apt install apparmor-utils
    sudo aa-complain /usr/bin/wicreset

     

    Supported distirbutions:
    Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus.
    Debian 9.0 Stretch.
    Mint 18.0 Sarah.

    Derived distributions (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu, etc.) should be supported as well.

    Compiler Version:
    GCC 5.2

    Package Dependencies (dpkg-shlibdeps):
    C/C++:

    \libc6 (>= 2.17)
    libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0)
    libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0)
    libstdc++6 (>= 5.2)

    X11 & GTK+:

    libx11-6
    libsm6
    libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0)
    libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)

    1. You can use Ink Codes that come on Ink Bottles. You can find a lot of free Ink Codes on InkResets.com site.

     

    2. You can reset Ink Levels in L100, L200, L800 printers by WIC Reset Utility.

     

    3. You can follow this instruction to reset Ink Levels in all Epson L-series printers such as:

    L100, L110, L111, L120, L130, L200, L210, L211, L220, L300, L301, L310, L350, L351, L353, L355, L358, L360, L365, L455, L550, L551, L555, L558, L565, L800, L810, L850, L1300, L1800

     

    With turned printer ON - press Power button - printer will turn OFF.

    Wait 10 seconds.

    Hold Paper button, then press and release Power button- the printer will turn ON and Power Green light will start to blink.

    Release Paper button and press again for 10 seconds.

    After 10 second release Paper button, then press for 1-2 seconds again and release. Thats all.

     

    This works for all Epson L-series.

    00010040 Printing position error

     

    Just like any other mechanical equipment, a printer requires attention to keep it running smoothly. So, just like when the spanner light illuminates on your cars dashboard so does your printer, but instead of a spanner the error 00010040 will appear on your control panel LCD which is informing you that there is a problem with the carriage mechanism. This can be caused by a faulty encoder strip which is required for accurate head positioning thus preventing the initialisation of the printer. This problem can be undertaken here at Large Format Repairs for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 right upto the beast that is the Stylus Pro 11880.

     

    Solution: clean encoder strip or change it by new one.

    Just like any other mechanical equipment, a printer requires attention to keep it running smoothly. So, just like when the spanner light illuminates on your cars dashboard so does your printer, but instead of a spanner the error 0001003F will appear on your control panel LCD which is informing you that a maintenance procedure is due to be performed. This will normally involve replacing the parts which keep the ink flowing from the cartridge to the print head. This procedure can be undertaken here at Large Format Repairs for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 right upto the beast that is the Stylus Pro 11880.

    0001002D Cleaning unit EOL

     

    Just like any other mechanical equipment, a printer requires attention to keep it running smoothly. So, just like when the check engine light illuminates on your cars dashboard so does your printer, but instead of a spanner the error 0001002D will appear on your control panel LCD which is informing you that a maintenance procedure is due to be performed. This will normally involve replacing the parts which keep the print head clean, hence the error "cleaning unit END OF LIFE" and the waste pads. This procedure can be undertaken here at Large Format Repairs for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 right upto the beast that is the Stylus Pro 11880.

    0001001B Head driver (TG) temperature error

     

    Just like any other mechanical equipment, a printer requires attention to keep it running smoothly. So, just like when the spanner light illuminates on your cars dashboard so does your printer, but instead of a spanner the error 0001001B will appear on your control panel LCD which is informing you that there is a problem with the print head. This can be caused by a faulty print head causing an electrical short damaging both the print head itself and the mainboard.

    00010014 Pressuring failure

     

    Just like any other mechanical equipment, a printer requires attention to keep it running smoothly. So, just like when the spanner light illuminates on your cars dashboard so does your printer, but instead of a spanner the error 00010014 will appear on your control panel LCD which is informing you that there is a problem with the supply of ink to the print head. This can be caused by a faulty ink cartridge which has a damaged membrane causing a lack of pressure thus preventing the initialisation of the printer. This problem can be undertaken here at Large Format Repairs for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 right upto the beast that is the Stylus Pro 11880.
