I have just installed the printer on windows xp and put in inks in printer and printer says its ready but when I sent test print it says error comman. The printer driver says the back is photo back but the printer will not take photo black as it says wrong ink it will only take matte. I think this is the problem but don't know how to solve it.
Sounds like you have to change the black ink from photo black to matt black
SOURCE: swap black inks with Epson 9800
By using Colorbyte's Imageprint software and their 'Phatte Black' cartridge....

I have not purchased it myself quite yet but im good friends with an Epson R&D guy who tested their system and highly recommends it.
SOURCE: Epson Stylus Pro 9600 vs Agfa Sherpa44
The Agfa Sherpa is not manufactured by Epson. Both Epson and Agfa buy and retag their printers from Mutoh.
I do not know if the 44 is the same as Epson 7600 or 9600, but it should fit the same cartridges.
If the printer does not accept the cartridges, that means that there is something different in the software stored in the Epson cartridge chip.
In this case you will be only able to use only Agfa or Mutoh Falcon cartridges.

Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off.
I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with
the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the
printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

In most cases the printer driver software can have errors while being in use or is shut down. So to reset remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and then connect the Printer to be detected as a new hardware as it will be installed. Now check the printer properties to see the ink levels.
Activate head cleaning before a test is taken . Sometimes it is possible that the head is not reacting to the need of the PC command or can be an issue with ink drying or poor ink cartridge contacts. Sometimes the power supply unit must be checked as a poor SMPS unit can deliver low voltage and cause issues to the printer function. Check all the leads and connections of the mother board , the tags to the ink cartridge. Also check the mechanical settings of the ink cartridge , if jammed or tight remove motor and manually free the drive before it is set back.
