Question about Epson Stylus C48 InkJet Printer

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.

Lexmark p4350 not recognising colour cartridge

Have you purchased like for like. Some, there is a chip that has to be reset if cartidge is a refil?

If still available reinsert old used cartidge and see if you receive same message or just the empty/renew.

Happens with HP too.

I purchases a cartidge for my cannon ip6220d. The cartrige I purchased is a pg-50. I was told that it would work for my printer but I cannot get the cartidge to slide in the slot. The top of the cartidge...

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.

Cartidge dell not working on dell 1700 laser printer

When the print cartridge contacts are dirty and the printer cannot detect/communicate with print cartridge.

Clean the contact points on the cartridges with a dry, lint-free cloth.

1. Open the top cover of the printer.

2. Remove the print cartridges.

3. Clean the copper-colored contact points on the cartridges with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove moisture from the contacts.

5. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

6. Close the top cover.

7. Try printing again.

If you still cant communicate try with new cartridge .

Hope this help. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

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.

Ok, you may have blocked printheads. Remove cartridges, using a cleaning solution and cotton buds (q-tips) thoroughly clean all residue. Now replace cartridges and try again.
