I have an Epson Stylus 1400 and cartridges from MIS.

I have to physically check the levels as the automatic part does not work.

I cannot get them to reset.

Possibly there is an issue with QTR which I use exclusively to print.

Thanks everybody for your replies!
Is this normal behavior, not to indicate ink levels?
Is everybody else also checking ink levels "physically"?
