Ink cartridge,Epson, how reset chip?
Ink cartridges sometimes seem to cost almost as much as the Printer itself - so - I bought a Stratitec ink refill kit - but - after refilling the black cartridge the Printer would not work. Then, I read the entire booklet of instructions and it says the 'chip' (on the ink cartridge) may to be reset. To do this, instructions say to mail the chip in to the Stratitec company. Can I do this myself? The Printer is an Epson Stylus 777. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Norm69

Ttodd -- First, thanks for the link to the Stratitec way to reset the HP's. The Epson has a different set of contacts, but I still used a piece of tape and tried the method for the HP's - didn't work - repeated it again - still wouldn't work. Then I called the company and they informed I required a special tool for the Epson - or, I could send the chip into them and they would reset it for me for $3. I'll most likely send it to them, cause the tool costs $17.00 - and I might never use it again. (I'll switch back to my Canon Printer.)
Note - After trying the above - I read Slipe's message, and I must give him credit - he's right.
Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion.
