[QUOTE="keerev, post: 214717, member: 13301"] After two an a half years using the same make of compatible cartridges, this printer stopped mid-print with a prompt "It looks like you are using non-genuine ink cartridges". Having periodically received this prompt before, I followed the usual procedure of initiating the "replace cartridge procedure", releasing and reseating the cartridge and continuing the print-run. This prompt would always pop-up and I would clicked through, before it continued the run trouble free. This time, it just cycles back to this prompt, refusing to accept the cartridges. I have a spare set of carts which I installed, after gently cleaning the contact on the seats with a soft lint-free cloth. Same result. Has Epson gone back to the "Dark-Side" like HP to put a ban on all but their own exceptionally overpriced contribution to the world economy? USA and European governments stopped this sharp-practice some years ago, when Epson attempted this Hold-up techniques but HP seems to have found some way to reintroduce it recently, causing a mass exodus from HP printers. I am just wondering, without any proof, so could be paranoid on this issue. I have not authorised any update to the printer. [/QUOTE]
