Some of the buttons gave correct info in the utility and some did nothing. The utility identified my printer OK, and the USB port was correct, because when it isn't, nothing workse, but when I clicked on Main and Platen under "Clear waste", nothing happened. Other buttons were suggested but they created error messages. Did you have a printer which gave an error onscreen when you tried to print and which said "waste ink absorber almost full"? and did you reset your printer successfully? I never had that message on my printer till a couple of weeks ago. Mary
