My Epson 830XL AIO refuses to accept a new BW ink cartridge. The
printer has two BW cartridges, so-called 410 and410XL. Says I need to
replace them. I did and it says the new ones are not acceptable. The
new one is labelled 'compatible with 410XL from LDProducts.com.
you mean your epson printer refuses to accept counterfeit cartridges.

Does this printer have to have genuine Epson cartridges?
yes, or at least ones that are properly cloned.


I blew my printer name. I shud have said Epson XP830.
The new cartridges are remanufactures, not genuine.
The error screen says 'you need to replace the following carts:
410, 410XL.
My old carts were said to need to be replaced too.
Epson will not answer my email queries. Neither will ink dealers I
tried.

All other sites I see on Google want me to pay for expert helps.
Thanks

The Google search engine is quite fickle now.
Some parts of the day, I just get gibberish for
search results. Just now, I tried again, and
at least I'm seeing procedures returned to try out.
My search terms we

"Epson XP830 override chip"

https://www.techwalla.com/articles/h...one-cartridges

Cloned ink cartridges may confuse the Epson printer.

Step 1 Install your cloned ink cartridge into the Epson printer.
Step 2 Go to "Start Control Panel" on your computer.
Step 3 Double-click on "Printer."
Step 4 Right-click on the icon of your Epson printer and
choose "Printer Preferences" at the bottom of the dialog box.
Step 5 Click on the tab entitled "Speed and Progress" and see
the Epson printer monitor box.
Step 6 Check off the box that says "Disable Epson Status Monitor"
to turn off the ink monitor.
Step 7 Click "Save" and close the windows.
Your cloned ink cartridges should now work.

HTH,
Paul


i asked a EBAY cartridge vendor (pc-universe) about this, and he
said:

Compatibility: XP530/XP630/XP635/XP640/XP830

NOTE: Cartridges only work with above printer models purchased before
2018. If your printer was purchased before 2018 but updated Epson's
firmware either manually or automatically, your printer won't work.
PLS READ carefully before purchase.

serial & parallel ports and ps/2 mice&keyboards were replaced with usb,
which was a hassle, but the result is much better, making possible many
peripherals that otherwise could not have been. during that transition,
adapters were needed. now they're not.

analog tvs needed a digital tv adapter to receive digital broadcasts.
now that all tvs are digital, the adapter isn't needed anymore.

the list goes on...

or use bluetooth headphones.

Lose a wired headphone, gain a headphone charger?

use the same usb charger used to charge the phone. no big deal.

plus, the better headphones last a week on a single charge in typical
use, often more, so it isn't any sort of a burden.

or use the built in speakers on the phone.

Yep, phone speakers sound great for listening to music. Not.

That means a miniazture DAC somewhere in the headphones. That cannot
be good for sound quality. But it's probably no worse than putting one
inside a phone.

only if you're deathly ill.

the transition is *already* in progress. within a few years they'll be
very common and within ten years, analog headphone jacks will be the
exception.

which are unused, and that's an entirely different use case anyway.

nothing lasts forever, and you have to charge your phone a lot more
than bluetooth headphones, along with tablets, laptops, camera
batteries and many other devices.

charging bluetooth headphones, which doesn't need to be done anywhere
near as often, is not an issue.

a bigger issue is when wired headphones get tangled, or caught on stuff
pulling it out of the ears. no matter how carefully you try to wind the
cord, it will always knot itself up when you're not looking.

headphones are not going away. it's just the plug that is going to
change. if you want to use headphones, you still can. there's even a
compatible set *in* *the* *box*.

or use the built in speakers on the phone.

Yep, phone speakers sound great for listening to music. Not.

some do, and who said anything about listening to music.

people use headphones for content *other* than music, including phone
calls, podcasts, movies, all of which are mostly or entirely voice.

I just lay my phone on its wireless charger overnight. Easy peasy.

I agree that charging all that stuff is a pain. Except my headphones
which require no charging.

You have all those problems with your digital wired phones?? My analog
wired phones are never that bad...

There is absolutely no way that you could get a good DAC into either a
phone or a pair of ear phone/buds.

rs232 serial ports were once universal.

there are wireless bluetooth headphone chargers, which doesn't need to
be done every night either.

maybe not the phone, which is very space constrained, however, that's
not an issue with headphones, which have plenty of space for whatever
dac and whatever else you might want:

even earbuds, which aren't known for the best sound quality, could have
an inline dac that would never fit into a phone.

you're describing one way a digital headphone jack is better.

Some technology fades away, some doesn't. Analog headphones have been
with us for over a hundred years. Technology that is simple, effective,
and just works, sticks around. My GUESS is that since most all current
devices including (gasp) some Apple devices have an analog headphone
jack, your changeover just may take a wee bit longer than you think.

Maybe I could actually charge my phone a lot LESS since I can leave the
Bluetooth radio OFF when using a WIRED headphone.

I've recently been through the trauma of finding a good DAC and I
stand by my comment. Sure there are tiny and low priced DACs but they
sound like crap. Anything worthwhile is far too large and expensive to
use in consumer head phones.

It's not the chip (DAC), it's the speakers.

nonsense,

with a digital headphone jack, you can use whatever dac you want (not
that you can hear a difference), whether it's an integral part of the
headphone or a standalone box.

with an analog headphone jack, you're stuck with whatever dac is in the
device. there is no way to get a digital audio stream.

your comments support the transition to digital headphone jacks.

yep, or in this case, headphones.

except there are those who think that they can hear a difference
between different dacs, different cables, etc. some of the audiophile
stuff is beyond crazy.
