Did swapping out mainboard require the adjustment utility or was it plug and play without having to import or program in the saved NVRM (I think it's called) from the original board? Thank you Jeff

I'm glad I found this thread I have a epson 3800 with only 450 printed pages, I am getting the 131B error, but not on start up, only when trying to print. Sometimes a page will go through without an error and print and other times it will just load the paper then before beginning to print...

Just got a BRAND NEW WP4540 from Staples to replace adefective printhead clogged wp4540 Question, go straight to Refillables or use their inks first? Can the newer printer(2014 vs 2012)which is newer too which can render my chipped 110ML refillables useless, if so what do I do? Lastly, are...

Good advice!

Update: Followed a youtube video where solvent head cleaner on a gauze pad on top of the sponge might work. it didn't, now with nozzle check only perfect black, not even a trace of cyan, magenta or yellow. Wish I could just pull this head out and manually clean it. I'm under warranty with...

It's a great world, and Epson is great as so is this forum, always here to help you as are others, just paying it forward.

You can call Epson and explain, remove cartridges and with a pencil eraser clean contacts or buy a yellow cartridges at staples to see if ink problem or unit problem. Jeff

Did it come with manufacturer sealed cartridges, can you post a pic of the status indicator with the inks?

Question for the experts: Let's say somebody has an Epson r1800, workforce 4540. workforce60, workforce 7010 and Epson 3800 and they find online a "broken" one for pennies on the dollar. 1) can a print head from a workforce 4540 or other model simply be switched, is it difficult to do so, or...

also, when I run out of my wp4540 pigment ink, can I order that set from anyplace or just the original vendor? Thanks Jeff
