Digital BW, The Print

My 7600 is giving me the message "Maintenance Required 0040".

I understand that this means that the cleaning pads need to be 
replaced -- but Epson says that a technician needs to do that, and at 
considerable expense!  The printer still works, and print quality seems fine.

* Can I replace those pads myself?  How does one obtain parts, and 
how hard is this to do?

* I've seen instructions on-line on how to just reset the 
counter?  Dare I do this?  Will it cause a mess in the printer later on?

* Any idea how to find instructions for repair of this printer on-line?

* Any other advice for somebody who had never examined the gizzards 
of the work-horse printer?

Thanks much,


Arthur Fink
