Printer won't print magenta

Hi. With regard to the printer above, I have bought a new magenta ink cartridge and the printer still will not recognize the pink and print. Anything I can do to fix that or do I just need to bite the bullet and buy a new printer?
Thanks.

Laura

So what does the machine do: Not recognizing the cart (error: insert magenta) or does it not print onto the paper?

In 1# case: Reinsert the magenta cart and make sure that the support is secured above the cart top. If it is recognized: OK.

If not unplug mfc from power. take all carts out. Wait five minutes. Reconnect machine to power. wait until machine demands carts. reinsert cart as demanded and give the right answers (see display).
Machine should run a short cleaning cycle.

In 2# case: Insert full carts well. press menu then start mono (blue) then fourtimes arrow-up (te-index). machine will be in maintenance mode. press 7 then 6 then 4. machine will initialize the carts. after some cleaning cycles machine will be
in mentaenance mode again. Press 9 then 9 to leave mode. press ink etc. to run a test print. If it fails and you cant see any magenta, the valve or filter is clogged and cant be fixed anymore.

It sounds as though you have a break in the carriage ribbon cable. A new carriage would hopefully cure it but its just possible the logic board has failed and is not sending any signal to the magenta ink tank. Its certainly repairable but you would need to know the costs and the labour charge to see if its worthwhile.

    Hi

    Some ink printer had ink resetter and just go to ink set up.
    If your printer have ink resetter, do it otherwise it will not recognized new ink installed.

    If not, some new ink cartridge when the tape is remove, there are cases that the sticky leaf on the ink cartridge, just rinse it with warm water or alcohol to detect the ink cartridge. Turn off your printer and your computer. Then return the ink and open your printer and computer to print again.

    Note : Use only ink that is compatible with your printer because it you use other cartridge it will damage the chip set of your printer and it will not recognized any cartridge at all. SO beware.

    I hope it helps you.

    Epson R1800 printer won't recognize new ink cartridge
    You can remove magenta & double check that some tape was not left behind on the contacts. Take a clean ragg & dampen it with alcohol. Clean the ink cartridge's (copper contacts & inside the the ink carrige). Re-install the magenta, (tight fit). Power off the printer. Wait a few seconds & power it back up. If it fails a second time with no other errors. Like the above. Than the magenta may be defective. Have a recipt? Return it for a replacment.
