QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks for the reply but I do not know how to take off the chips and 
put ones back on. I do not own a chip resetter, and I do not 
appreciate a company that sells commonly faulty chips that also 
apparently damaged my brand new printer. That being said....

The carts are nearly full, I only printed abot 20 prints with them, 
Nothing is blocking the contacts unless part of the MIS chips fell 
apart.
All the MIS carts had chips.
All was well until I installed the MIS carts.
All OEM carts have chips. 
I turned the printer on and off several times.
I checked USB, switched cables, 
The QTR rip was perfomring very well. Now, nothing is performing. 
I can't do a nozzle check or any check for that matter. 

So I guess I call Epson and give them a try. THen call MIS and see 
what story I will get about how and why their chips knocked out my 
brand new printer. I bought it specifically for BO printing because 
of what I read online on a few sites. I bought the MIS carts for the 
same reason. I bought the Amadou Diallo book as someone suggested. 
Now, I have set of MIS chips that did something to my printer Not so 
good of a start of enjoying black and white without that smelly 
darkroom. 
    The rub is this...will MIS fix my printer, will Epson fix it 
after I installed non epson carts. So what I have is a brand new non 
printing priner and I promised the art dept. in  my school I would 
donate 5 prints for their fundraising auction by this Friday.  
thanks to all for the help folks, I appreciate the speedy replies.
Frank
