Unfortunately there’s no easy way to break this but the simple fact is that, at present, there are no reset utilities available that will work on a Mac or Unix/Linux/*nix operating system.
Epson have been promising that they are looking at developing such a utility for the Mac but I suspect, given the lack of development of any utilities for anything past the R1900, R280, etc… this will probably not happen.
Epson have made it quite clear, by their actions, that they have no interest in increasing the life of their printer products by providing such utilities on a wider scale so I really wouldn’t expect anything either now, or in the future.
Of course, you never can tell so if something/anything is ever released I will post it on the wasteink.co.uk site…
Work-arounds?
The only known work-arounds at present are to borrow, find or buy a cheap/free windows machine such as an old, dead battery laptop and keep this around so you can run the SSC utility or similar to reset your printer.
In many cases this approach is one I’m now recommending for Windows customers who are looking to purchase a machine locked version of the newer Epson Adjustment utilities.
It’s a pain but with many 5+ year old machines now clogging landfills, or recycling bins, you should be able to find something suitable.
