iMacG5 OSX Ver 10.3.9
Epson Stylus CX4600 printer
With purchase of my iMacG5, I received a free Epson printer Stylus CX4600
Ran out of black ink. Replaced w/Epson black cartridge. Printed a few
copies, then it wouldn't print because it ran out of yel magen & blue also.
Unlike HP printers' 1 colored cartridge, Epson requires 3 indiv cartridges @ $40. That seemed excessive, so ordered after-market G&G at 3 for $18.
Received Yel Magen & Blue cartridges. Removed insert block on G&G . Shook gently and Set cartridges in printer easily.
I now have one new black Epson and 3 colored G&G cartridges. However, nothing will print out. G&G instructions indicated that Epson has a 'smart chip' installed to stop me from using aftermarket cartridges.
I was advised to override chip the following way:
First: I uninstalled the Epson Driver and then reinstalled it. No print.
2nd Try: Uninstalled entire Epson software, reinstalled it. No print.
I don't know what next to do to activate the printing process and/or override the 'smartchip'. I'm sure it's easily done or they wouldn't sell aftermarket cartridges. Can anybody direct me? Please be specific as I need direction. Thank you. Francey
