"black ink out" on Epson Stylus Color 600
I have an Epson Stylus Color 600 which worked well until last
weekend. When powered up now the "ink out" light is on and never goes off although the cartridge is full. Does anyone have an idea about overriding or repairing the "black ink out" detection? Thanks, Peter E. shark at gulfnet dot sd64.bc.ca |

This printer doesn't have a chipped cartridge. It determines a ink
cartridge change via a leaf spring in the back of the cartridge compartment which is activated by the cartridge removal and reinsertion. You normally could just replace the exact same empty cartridge and it would read full to the monitor system. Usually this problem is the result of the spring getting too flat and not responding correctly. If you carefully pull the middle of the flat surface of the spring out so it makes it into a peak again, then it will again activate when you remove and insert the cartridge and that will clear the light. You can also try taping a piece of cardboard to the side of the cartridge that the leaf spring would come in contact with and see if that activate the spring. It will not fix the problem however, and the next cartridge will probably do the same thing. Art wrote: I have an Epson Stylus Color 600 which worked well until last weekend.
