After trying a few different things with no improvement, I decided to put a set of Epson ink cartridges back into the printer. I was missing the light cyan cartridge and I think the other five were empty. However, the printer starts up and goes into a normal ink missing condition; the ink light is on steadily and the six lights in the ink carrier are on.
I put the six MIS refillable cartridges in without powering the machine off. After reloading, the printer ran a head cleaning then went back to the paper and ink lights flashing together.
I think what has happened is that my machine is suddenly unhappy with the third party cartridges I have been using. I have not initiated a software update, so I doubt that is the issue, but I'm curious about the software versions that will work with third part cartridges and the ones the lock you out of using them.
From the printer drive panel I'm seeing that the machine is at Version 6.92,unless this is the driver version. I looked at MIS' page and they note differences between the 6.3 cartridge chips and earlier chips. I believe I have the 6.3 chips, at least I know I cannot mix this cartridges with my 1400 that uses the older cartridges.
Can anyone explain what software versions the 1430 should be on to allow third party cartridges?
