Digital BW, The Print

I have had mine packed away for a while and when I hooked it back up wireless it 
proceeded to do a rather large upgrade. I now have listed on the printer window 
from Control Panel these versions a Copy 1 Artisan 1430 (network) (Copy 
1) printer but no original non copy, an Epson Artisan 1430 Series, an Epson 
Stylus Photo 1430 Series, An Epson Stylus Photo 1430 (Copy 1)  When I select 
network as the default I keep geeting no connect and check to see if the 
Ethernet cable is plugged in. The Artisan 1430 will print when selected but the 
Stylus Photo printers do not print when selected. I have the 1430 on a seperate 
small table cabinet in a corner opposite the computers so now in order to print 
I have to select Virtual USB 1 and the Artisan as default printer and run a 6 ft 
cusb cable and a 6 ft USB extension cable across the room hooked to the 
computers front USB plug. The second computer is further away so it will 
possibly print when I network share the 1430. Prior to thanksgiving everything 
worked fine. I am busy this weekend then gone for 2 weeks so do not have the 
time to down load the latest driver and do an uninstall and reinstall the 
software driver.

I just mention this incase the latest upgrade has made changes to the cartridge 
handling firmware.

I intend to replace the chips on my ARC cartridges with OEM chips and use a 
resetter to avoid the problems I have seen reported with the ARC cartridges. For 
my Canon 9000 I just purchased OEM cartridges and use a resetter as the ARC does 
not report low and runs out in the middle of a print. Since I have gone to OEM's 
Everything is fine and I hope that will be the same for the 1430.

Please report how the OEM chip strategy works out. I'll have used up all my Epson black soon, it's all been used doing un-needed head cleanings each time I swap a cartridge, so now I'll have an OEM chip to spare. 

I'm going to try another MIS black cartridge as well on the outside chance that the cartridge itself is defective.

I do not expect any issues I am traveling for a few weeks and I expect it will be May before I do the chip swap.
