hi
I have a Epson Styplus CX5200 and die right after one year worrenty is up
(about 370 days) I don't think I even printed 100 pages, I don't use it much. The problem is that it keeps giving me the Error saying my color ink is used up when it is not. I disabled the Color print since i only use it like 10 a year. I also tried to use new inks, when I due the error goes away but the color does not print, only the black.(color print is on) so I keeps doing the head cleaning thing but it didn't help at all, with out noticing the new ink got used all up (I run it like 50 to 60 times since i was so mad).(head clean requirs ink to do so??????) So I got one of these ink refill kit and refill the original inks (even though it still have ink in it) that came with the printer but it is still the same when i put it back into the printer, same error message. So I was thinking mabe The printer has some kind of memory thing that eables it to remember the ink tank that is used up so people can not use refill kits or was i wrong? anyway does anybody know how to fix this. It is good if the color can be fixed but if not it is ok since all I need is the black, but the thing is that I can't used the printer at all with the error message saying my color ink is out. (the black wount print.)
so any ideas.
Please don't mine my english...
P.S I tried reinstall the software and i also reinstalled my windows (I had to anyway so...) but it didn't work eigher.
