I did a firmware update and now the printer won't recognize my remanufactured ink cartridges. How can I downgrade the firmware?

The WicReset utility provides a firmware change for the WF-3820 against a charge; but I never tried it.

Sorry but, let this be a lesson to all..

When your printer is working normally, it’s not a don’t.. It’s a case of never upgrade the firmware for any reason, because that’s what happens when you listen to the stupid nonsense put out on the web…:th

Google is telling me SI13LC was the first firmware to stop 3rd party ink . Bought my wf3820 a year and half ago..ran out of black ink for the first time a month ago. SI13LC is what it came with as I never updated. (That I know of) but everyone is saying this works with 3rd party?
Confused..please help. I thought I needed to go back to SI09K9

What firmware did you use?
