I tried this but I'm still not able to bypass the issue at the printer. Just keeps telling me it does not recognize the cartridge. I changed the setting on my laptop. Restarted the laptop and printer and the printer is just stuck at the error msg 

I am using WF-3720

What exactly you are doing? Disabling status monitor will not affect printer or cartridges in any way.

I have an R380 and am running W10 but do not have a "disable" button in my printer status monitor box. Now what ?

You can always stop the process via task manager directly or use `support >> disable processes` from the WICReset menu.

Hello everybody,

i was following the instructions of John_admin and my problem is that i don't see the "Disable printers status monitor" button.

May i missed something. Or i dont have enought permission. Or the company 'Epson' patched this in the latest software update. I don't know.

I hope to find help here. I really don't want to buy another printer for 450EUR.

Regards

ASU

Hello John_Admin,

I have another screenshot of the "Monitoring Preferences".

I opened it but there is no check box "Disable Epson Status Monitor"

You have to reset Waste Ink Counters

Hello John,

I want to reset the WIC-"waste ink counter" but I didn't find the "speed and progress"-button as shown above.

I tried to use the software to reset the WIC but it tells me to manually disable the "printers status monitor 3".

What are the next steps I can do to use the software to reset the WIC?

[wic.support 31]

You can disable processes from WIC:

1. Start WIC as administrator.

2. In the main menu select `Support > Disable Processes`

3. Disable all lister processes and services.

4. Restart the printer and try to reset again.

Hi John, 

Similar situation , but in my case "Enable Epson Status monitor" is greyed out.

I am running Win10 - 64 bit and the printer is Epson XP446

Please Help.

Good day.

Please, reinstall the driver and make sure that you are not using limited account.

If this does not help, you can use WICReset to disable epson processes:

You will need to download and install WICReset then start it as administrator and select in the main menu `Support` > `Disable processes`.
