stephmayes Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Not sure if the screencapture worked.basically it says ' the installed ink cartridges differ from the original Epson ink cartridges. The printouts may differ from those printed usinf Epson cartirdges'any ideas ?Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 When I receive this message (and similar ones) for my R200 machine I just agree to it and it chugs along fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 You could uninstall the Epson Status Monitor, but leave the driver in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephmayes Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 When I receive this message (and similar ones) for my R200 machine I just agree to it and it chugs along fine.Yeah, I know but its just a pain. If I want to do quite a bit of printing then I cant just leave it to it, ive gotta keep dumming away the window. Think the answer is for me not to be a cheapskate and buy the originals !!

catgate Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 It may affect the monitoring of the ink levels. I am running a R200 on Linux, but every so often it stops because of low ink in one of the cartridges. I then have to take it and put it on my Windows machine to check which ink/s are low. But as a Yorkshire cheapskate I find it preferable to buying over inflated "genuine" ink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 There is NO need to uninstall anything. I have an Epson R340 Photo. This only happens when I first change a cartridge, as soon as I agree to carry on that is the end of the messages until I fit another cartridge. If this happens more than once with any one cartridge then something else is wrong. What I am puzzled about is the Ace Capture .com reference. You must have something on your computer causing this. I NEVER get that happen with my printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use Choice Think +. Whatever you do, DON'T uninstall the staus monitor, it's too useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooMuchTime Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I think what is happening is exactly what you said in post #2; the printer is recognizing the installed cartridges as non-genuine EPSON.I would open whatever printer configuration utility is installed and see if there is a check box for determining non EPSON cartridges. It may not exist, because I'd bet they want you to use their own. If there isn't a configuration option for this, check the web for updated configuration software. Maybe a newer version has been released. Never know, especially if customers get too vocal about annoying pop ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
