@PeterBJ @maximilian59 - This is what I guessed.
One of the hypertext links (pass mouse cursor over text to see link) in my post gives detailed instructions on resetting the waste ink counter and a free download of an alleged appropriate service tool (v.4718) for OP's printer model. That web site is a treasure trove of Service Tool info (and more) that seems legit. A lot of work to make such a detailed web site just to fool people.
Could it be the more recent version service tool is not completely backward capable, ie not every model printer previously hacked is included in the next/newer generation/version service tool??

Disagree. You've forgotten more than I've ever learned about service tools.I don't know more than you do about the newer two cartridge printers and service tools.
