Digital BW, The Print

My 2200 started telling me it was time to change the waste pads a few weeks
ago.  I keep printing anyway and finally this weekend the printer locked up
and went into all-lights-flashing mode.  I found a tool online to re-set the
ink pad waste counter and it's running again.  I have no clue where to take
or send the printer to have the waste pads replaced, or how much it costs.
I would guess it's at least a $100-200?

Anyone know if the waste pads eventually overflow and spill?  Or how much
time before I should be concerned with that?

I just got a 1400 and my eboni-6 carts are arriving tomorrow which will
become my main B&W printer (which is 98% of my printing) so the 2200 will be
taking the back shelf and be used for the occasional color print but am
still wondering if I should pay to have the waste pads replaced or if it's
even worth it....
