My Epson 830XL AIO refuses to accept a new BW ink cartridge. The

new one is labelled 'compatible with 410XL from LDProducts.com.

Does it actually say 'not acceptable' or does it say that it looks like
you are not using genuine Epson cartridges and asks if you are sure you
want to use them?

If it doesn't recognise them remove and reinsert them as that sometimes
fixes the problem. Otherwise try a better make of fake cartridges or a
genuine one.

Don't exclude that you could always have a fault with the printer.


Or doing some googling to see if Epson is doing what "apple crap" used
to do &/or will be doing. i.e. hardware devices like hdd, 4mm tape, etc
and 3.5 in floppies. apple required a special roms for identity as an
apple supported product; a floppy disk need to have a identifier on the
floppy as an apple supported product.

Without the apple roms & identifiers on a product, the product will
not work with any apple computer.

IOW, is epson requiring an epson identifier for usage?
