Epson 830U

[Saxon]

Hi

Any one able to help with a printer problem. I have aa Epson 830U as a back
up printer. As it is quite old I have started using compatable cartridges.
Changed both black and colour cartridges but printer is not recognising
these cartridges. Don't think the cartridges are fault as I have tried 2
black and 2 colour. I have tried all the trouble shooting, rebooting,
disconnecting, pressing all the buttons. Any ideas?

TIA

Just an idea, but have you tried updating the drivers??

[Saxon]

Many thanks for your reply. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer
and also tried updating the drivers. Nothing works. As I have tried two
black and three colour cartridges I doubt if they can all be faulty. Don't
really want to have to buy Epson Cartridges and this would cost me over £50
for the two and the printer is quite old.

I tried emailing Epson but they blame the cartridges!!

Unfortunately, cheap (sometimes not-so-cheap) printers like this are
disposable items. In my experience, the manufacturer may spend minimal
effort troubleshooting while the printer is under warranty, but never
after. It's rarely practical to fix the mechanics, and the user can't
replace the electronics, so they become landfill fodder.

If I was desperate enough, I'd thoroughly clean the print heads and all
contact points with alcohol. The print heads can be easily damaged, so
you need accept that you could break it for good. I've revived a couple
of printers this way.

And try a set of official print cartridges. If they work and the
compatibles don't you'll know where the problem lies.

Hi Nil

I will try to clean the print heads with alcohol, I have nothing to lose.
It is a second printer which is quite old and the print was starting to go,
hence the reason for using cheap cartridges. Epson cartridges would cost me
over £50, would be cheaper with a new printer.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply to me post.

Why do you post a hardware problem in a Windows XP discussion group, while
there are lots of hardware groups, you silly tit?
Read the fucking FAQ!

Go to comp.periphs.printers cos alt.epson.printers is a little bit hard to

I have an application that uses an Epson TM-T88iv POS printer to print
tickets. I need to be able to display an image of the ticket on the screen.
Does anyone know if there is a driver (for Windows XP or Vista) that has a
"print to sceen" mode, or a printer simulator or emulator for this printer?

If there's a better newsgroup, forum or mailing list for this question,
please let me know.

Thanks - Rowan"

When doing an Advanced Search in googlegroups for any messages in that

2009, the other from July 2006. But when you view the message it turns
out that those two messages were only cross-posted to that group name.
When you try to enter the group itself, Google's response is "There is

If it ever really existed, it seems to have been removed from Google's
