Re: filmscanners: OT: How to reset Epsons with "chipped" cartridges

Ed ,I was referring to the way the cartridge let you know how much ink
was left.
That's in stone, so not debatable !!
As for fooling the system that's fine with me if it can be done but our
NT4 system does not have the graphics to show the cartridges state,so we
know we have run out when the paper is blank !!

You missed the subtle technique for changing the cartridge.  It
gets removed when it's on the left side, a full cartridge gets inserted
on the left side, the full cartridge gets removed when it's on the right
side and the refilled cartridge gets replaced on the right side.

The technique apparently takes advantage of the printer reading
the cartridge when it travels left to right and and writing the
cartridge when it's on the right.

The "end of debate" comment is just silly - there are actual screen
shots of this techique working.
