The error "Waste Ink Pad Full" means a physical sponge inside your printer is soaked with ink. A: No, not for personal use

A: No, not for personal use. Epson’s warranty does not cover the waste ink pad, and resetting the counter does not circumvent safety mechanisms if you maintain the pad physically. However, using a resetter on a leased or under-warranty printer may void service agreements.

Some resetters require the printer to be in “Service Mode” or “Factory Mode”. For the L5290, you typically enter this by holding the Stop + Power buttons for 5 seconds. Verify the correct key combination from your resetter’s manual.
