    Artisan 1430 cartridge errors

    You got my hopes up! I thought somehow I had missed those existing. :confused: I'd love to have done that, but the model that fits my existing CISS systems was discontinued shortly after I bought my first printer, and the prices quickly surpassed what I originally paid, let alone those...

    Artisan 1430 cartridge errors

    Just now, while the printer was on and showing error lights for all six cartridges, I happened to pull down the CD/DVD printing tray. The carriage slid back and forth and then adjusted up, and all but the yellow light turned off. Basically the same behavior its been showing, but without me...

    Artisan 1430 cartridge errors

    I haven't, no. Looking into it, it seems to relate only to the printer being stuck in Recovery mode. Mine isn't giving any indication of that. That may be why the Recovery solution isn't shown as an option on my WIC (even with the setting for it enabled). All I have as an option is to change the...

    Artisan 1430 cartridge errors

    I can't say for sure, seeing as I'm not Epson.....but from what I've seen of people online describing either similar or the exact same problem, replacing the cartridges with new ones has been a frustrating failure, given the cost. It must have done its original ink priming at some point, because...

    Artisan 1430 cartridge errors

    First off--thank you for checking my questions out. ;) I have two OEM sets of all six cartridges, neither was brand new at the time of getting this printer, but both sets were barely used. I get the same results regardless of which ones I put in. I've also tried a CISS that works fine in my...

    Artisan 1430 cartridge errors

    Below is the WIC report. It is running the oldest firmware, the one suggested for downgrading, though I suppose there's no way to know if it's corrupted itself in some way. I'm unclear on why each cartridge is listed twice, and haven't been able to find an explanation of those descriptions yet...

    Artisan 1430 cartridge errors

    I'm attempting to resuscitate a 1430 that I suspect may have never printed successfully. Everything inside it was pristine, including the ink waste lines, and when I first plugged it in, it would slam the carriage into the left side and stop. I fixed that problem when I found the ribbon cable...

    Change Epson 1430 mainboard

    Very curious if this solved your problem, as I have a 1430 that is presenting with a similar problem (if I have 6 carts installed or a CISS it won't recognize any of the cartridges, but if I leave one cart out, it recognizes all but the missing one.)
