Black Ink

[jennyjoan]

As you all helped me yesterday. I have now got the Epson C46 cartridges loaded into my C46 printer. I typed rididdle me roo and control and p - some pages came through blank.

Went into ink levels - this is what I am getting

"Unable to retrieve ink levels - please check your connection to the printer"

Any help please.

Are they genuine Epson cartridges? I had to ditch two Epson printers last year because they refused to work with any other than their own very expensive ones.

Khando I have this printer about maybe 7 years and never used genuine Epson cartridges. Every one of them worked.

regarding this bloody printer - I do not print much and so I certainly do not want to buy a new one - no way - hosay.

jennyjoan; I had two D 92s both worked with compatible cartridges until I followed some request from Epson to update and then the trouble started. There are Youtubes showing how to remove the cartridge switch off all power supply, wait several minutes and replace the cartridge and restart. Some times it worked but then reverts to these messages. I just couldn't be fazed anymore and bought a Canon Pixma, I never add any updates and it keeps working fine with compatible replacement inks.

Khandro - well took the advice of Mamy - got a a kid from over the road. Jesus blessus - what she had to do - this port - uusb -oort pres this pbutton - press - I never could have done what she done in a thousand years. So far all going well. Also she got rid of the by then 68 pages - Ink back to black and colour back as well. I definitely would love to go back to classes re all this but wouldn't where to start.

I do have a cousin a headmaster just recently retired and funnily enough rang me there re clarinet but my friend had called to the house and I really didn't want her to know my business re the clarinet so sorta had to forb him off - I have his mobile number and tomorrow I will ring him for advice re knowing more about computers. She was like lightning and certainly knew her stuff. Thanks Khandro for your interest.
