There is definitely no chip on the 880 cart. I have a cart and an 880 right in front of me. My Epson supplier told me that the 880 is virtually the same printer as the 1160, except that it will only print 8.5 X 11. I have an 880 and I also print a lot of G4 with an 1160 and I can tell you they even sound the same. The pre-print cleaning procedure sounds identical, as does normal printing. They can even use each other's printer drivers. The 880's an excellent photo printer for those who pine for the 1160. Cheap, too. I paid $65 for mine at Ubid. Peter McLennan
