Epson Adjustment Program Reset L380-l383-l385-l485

Dec 16 '15 at 12:28

I have been unsuccessful at getting past sp_OACreate under SqlServer 2012. The same sproc works on a SqlServer 2008 box.

EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.Crypt2', @crypt OUT results in -2147221005 for @hr.

Callig get error: EXEC @HR = sp_OAGetErrorInfo @crypt, @Source OUT, @Description OUT;

results in @Description being "Invalid class string".

I have checked the registry, the clsids are there. I even edited permission on crypt2 and crypt2.1 adding full control to everyone. I also verified the DLL's folder has everyone read/exec permissions.

I am at a loss here.

See the online reference documentation for the correct strings to pass to sp_OACreate. See http://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xChilkatCrypt2Ref.html

Epson Adjustment Program Reset L380-l383-l385-l485

To prevent physical ink overflow, the printer’s firmware runs an internal digital counter. Once this counter hits 100% capacity, the printer stops working entirely and displays the following symptoms:

A pop-up on your computer says "A printer's ink pad is at the end of its service life."

Epson EcoTank printers feature internal porous pads designed to collect and absorb excess ink during the initial setup, printing cycles, and automated printhead cleaning processes.

Which you are using (Windows 10, 11, etc.)? What specific error code (if any) you see on your screen? To prevent physical ink overflow, the printer’s firmware

The necessity of this program arises from a fundamental disconnect between manufacturer design and consumer reality. From EPSON’s perspective, the waste ink counter is a safety feature. When the counter reaches its limit, the manufacturer argues that the pads are physically saturated and must be replaced to avoid damaging the printer or the user’s desk. However, in practice, many users find that the counter triggers prematurely, or that the pads can be cleaned, dried, and reused rather than replaced. Without the Adjustment Program, an otherwise perfectly functional L380 or L485 becomes electronic waste. The program empowers users and third-party repair shops to extend the life of the printer for a fraction of the cost of an official service, which often exceeds the price of a new printer. In this sense, the program is an essential tool for the right-to-repair movement, challenging the disposable culture embedded in modern consumer electronics.

Answer

It is so that a future version of the ActiveX can co-exist with older versions. You've heard of DLL hell, right? The current naming of "Chilkat_9_5_0." has not changed for several YEARS. Eventually, Chilkat will do a major update to rid itself of all deprecated methods and make long-needed changes which break backward compatibility. When doing so, the name will change -- this will make it so that new programs can use the new version WITHOUT breaking existing older applications.

What about 9.4.x? Did it use the Chilkat.Crypt2 naming? If so, is there a download for it?
