Replacing Waste Sponge in Epson R200

First off, you don't need to change waste sponge on Epson R200 lol! Denny's steps worked first time perfectly for me. In terms of replacing the waste sponge pads, turn the printer off then unscrew the (single screw) access panel to the left of the epson label on the back of the printer, where you will see a small white sponge, beneath which is a small clear plastic pipe - fish this pipe out with a coat-hanger and then attach to waste reservoir of your choice (I used a small plastic bottle, made a hole in the cap and stuck the pipe thru the hole then secured with sellotape) - NB Do NOT tamber with the wirebundle to the top of the access panel - the wate ink pipe is beneath the sponge at the bottom). Switch the printer back on and download the ssc utility and follow Denny's instructions above and that's it.
