Is there no way to put a brand new ink cartridge BACK into the Epson printer and get that
printer to PRINT?!
What an unbelievable scam!!!
Why would anyone buy an Epson???? (someone gave me this, used; apparently they didn't know
about this "feature".)

PS I downloaded and installed sscserve.exe from http://ssclg.com/epsone.shtml but it
didn't fix the problem.
Surely there is a way to bypass it in the hardware????

Well, my photo 1280 let me put remove and replace a partially used black
cartridge with no problems at all. It seems mine works quite well.

Perhaps your printer is broken?

Agree you can r&r cartridges and they still work. It does that in my
1270 and a friends 1290 that I am aware of.

Have you tried removing and replacing the cartridge only while the
printer is unplugged?
