Question about Epson Stylus C48 InkJet Printer

1 Answer

Cartidge problem My Cousin asked me look at why her C48 would not recognise, so called compatible cartidges. Her brother had purchased two color and 2 BW from a local dealer but these are not recognised. When the old cartridges were replaced the error report had changed from out of ink to unrecognised again. She had removed the removal strip from all the new ones but these were not physically the same beneath the romoval strip as her original ones although the cartridges were marked Epson C48 The rest of the container looked identical to tje old ones. Q: has the replacing attempt damaged the printer and what action shpuld she take next Thanks in anticipation Tony

    I replaced the black ink cartridge and there was still colour left. When the colour cartridge got low the printer would not work and I could not fit a new colour cartrige. Eventually I managed to get the cartridge in the position to remove the old colour cartridge and fitted a new colour cartridget but unfortunately the printer is still not working.

Many "compatible" cartridges are badly manufactured or even labeld wrong. These can damage or block the connectors on Epson printers. your best bet is go buy new ink and try them, then if it still dont recognise, you could buy some ink cleaning cartiridges and give them a try - Google "Epson Print Head cleaning" Failing that go buy a new printer - Epson's are real cheap new.

these are the only cartridges that would work on your printer:
Canon PG-40/CL-41 (PG40/CL41) OEM Genuine Inkjet/Ink Cartridges Combo (One each: PG-40BK Canon CL-41, 0617B002 (CL41CLR) Tri-Color OEM Genuine Inkjet/Ink Cartridge - Retail Canon CL-51, 0618B002 (CL51CLR) Color High Capacity OEM Genuine Inkjet/Ink Cartridge - Retai Canon CL-52, 0619B002 (CL52) Photo OEM Genuine Inkjet/Ink Cartridge - Retail
so definitely pg-50 will not fit. i suggest if its still in warranty, try to ask for a replacement.

I recently purchased a refurbished Intellifax 2480C. When I attach it to the power line, the Fax button lights up and I am unable to bring it to the Copy button. 2. I have put in a Black cartridge but the...
Yes, you need to have the color cartridges installed. The print head could be damaged by running cleaning cycles without ink for the entire system. Since the Copy mechanism is the same as the Print mechanism, it explains why you can't enter the copy mode. The unit will store faxes in memory until the memory is full - so the unit will work in Fax mode for a while.

For manuals and additional information, see http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/model_top/colormfc/fax2480c_us_as.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=fax2480c_us_as .

I wish that I had better news.

It may be a busted cartridge. Try again using this time a genuine cartridge.
Turning the printer off, even for long periods (days, not weeks), shouldn't have any effect if the ink is of good quality.

Try using the new black color in the combo pack. If the problem persist- you might have bought an expired cartidge.

Cartidge problem
Normal 0 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

Compatibility of Ink cartidge.
The MP600 does not use the 40 or 41 cartridges, it uses individual color (and black) ink tanks. But other models (MP190, MP460, MP470, etc) do use these cartridges. The error message you are receiving indicates that the printer does not recognize the cartridge you installed as a valid black ink cartridge. This can mean that either the cartridge is faulty, or that the printer has a problem.
I would suggest trying another new cartridge, and if you still get the same error, to contact Canon for support options if the unit is still in warranty.

My cartridge holder is stuck and I cant turn the printer on without it going crazy. Is there a way to fix this myself? Hi, I've had my printer for while and I've always had a problem with the print head ever since I got it but when I've went to change the ink cartridges completely the thing that I put the ink in wouldn't budge. When I finally managed to get it to move it went straight back in but not completely and started trying to force itself in but it wont go back properly and it makes a funny 'tk tk tk' noise. The green power light then went off but the red light for a change of ink stayed on, I pressed the green button and it turned off the whole printer but when I turned the printer on again the same thing happened even though I didn't touch the red button. Before that it wasn't printing properly at all, there were gaps in my prints and the alignment is all off. I don't know what's happened at all to it as it was working perfectly fine an hour ago. Please help :(
