R220 no longer recognizes MIS carts

2006-11-03 by Roger

After a month or so of not using my R220 with MIS UT-R2 inks I 
turned on the printer.  The printer whirred and moved the carts as 
usual but then stopped with a solid red light on.  The status 
monitor came up with the message "Ink cartridges cannot be 
recognized"
 
Black: T0481
Cyan: T0482
Light Cyan: T0485
Magenta: T0483
Light Magenta: T0486
Yellow: T0484
The genuine EPSON ink cartridges listed above are recommended for 
replacement. Click the How to button for ink cartridge installation 
instructions.
 
I removed and put back in all the cartridges.  No difference.  I 
swapped the MK for the PK but no difference.  I tried resetting the 
chips on two of the cartridges.  The resetter glowed green, but no 
difference.
I turned off the computer and printer and unplugged the printer 
power and USB cable.  I removed and replaced the carts.  I plugged 
it back in and turned the printer on.  No difference.

Does anyone have any idea why it's doing this and how to fix it?  I 
don't have any Epson carts to test it with as I've only used MIS.
