Stylus 820 Problem (HELP!!!)
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 (about a yr. old)
Went to change black ink cartridge, but the printer will not recognise new cartridge. Now, I can't print. I tried disconnecting the USB's from the printer/laptop/hub,etc. but it still will not recognise the new cartridge. Is there some way to override the printer to reset this function? Also, this machine was originally running on a Win98SE computer, and now I'm running it on a WinXP laptop, I ran fine until this problem came up. Thanks in advance Howard Duffy |

Remove the cartridge, clean ( very carefully) the contacts on the cartridge
and the printer and then reinstall it and try again. If that doesn't work, try another cartridge, you may well have gotten a bad one. -- Mikey http://www.mike721.com "Howard Duffy" wrote in message nk.net...

If it not recognising a cartridge then the contacts at the rear of the
cartridge well are dirty. Ear buds stroked carefully down - and where possible some Windolene or ammonia as a degreaser should fix it. Equally providing you are very careful with static wipe off the green cartridge chip. Tony -- Inkylink JetTec UK Quality - Wot others wanna-be Epson 950 C70/80/82 Lighfast pigmented inks.

Are you using a new Epson cart. or a refilled or third party cart. These
cartridges have an EPROM chip that needs to be reset if you refill the cart. or else the printer will not recognise the cart. If it is a professionally refilled cart or third party the chip may be damaged or not reset - quality control is very poor with these refillers. Howard Duffy wrote in message nk.net...
