epson dx4450

[bigj2552]

just dug out my old dx4450 printer......bought some new inks for it ( not sub ink )...fired em in and.....

Hmmm.....

its not recognizing the inks for some reason....

4x big cross's at each ink pot on status monitor
i got the green on light and a red light next to the ink icon...as if they are empty, i presume !

any ideas whats up ?

just want it for printing/copying docs ect

Have you tried taking them out and putting them in again, are you using Epson cartridges?

That's what I do now. Printer with 80-100ml refillables, top them up with a tenner's worth of ink from ebay, and never worry about it again.

So cheap now that the best method of fixing a printer is to dump it. :biggrin:

Strange world.
