How can I stop annoying cartridge messages with my new Epson D88 Printer

Hi all.

I have purchased a Epson D88 printer and with the printer about 50 prints prior to a cartridge becoming empty it keeps telling me the ink is lot and I have to click continue every time to print 1 page but as I say it prints fine or an extra 50 or so pages.

Once my black cartridge run out of ink I then placed a cheap alternative cartridge into the printer.

The quality of printing is just as good but I get a message every time I print about it not being a genuine epson cartridge and do I want to continue.

I am dreading this cartridge becoming low of ink as ill have that many message boxes it will be a joke.

Can anyone help me avoid these messages?   am perfectly happy to void my printer warranty!

Dear auraorange,

I don't have an Epson printer myself, and have never used one before, but I have a Canon i250 printer which has an option in the software provided.

Go into: My Computer -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes (classic view) and select your printer (if it isn't the default printer please select). Right click on your printer and select Properties. The software should be installed into this section, if it isn't update. In something like a 'Maintenance' tab, select something like 'Low Ink Warning Setting' and select them to be off. This is in mine, so I'm not entirely sure. There is also a 'Ink Counter Reset' - which automatically loads when I have replaced my catridges. Try looking around in your printer's settings until you find it, it should be just about the same.

Hope you understand, and I hope this works - GL

Ok thanks for this

My two solutions were:

I was able to deselect the low ink setting!

secondly, I went to a computer fair and asked about this issue and he said you can either get the specially chipped cartridges (from him of course) or a chip resetter as suggested above

thanks for the help!
