Digital BW, The Print

I cannot answer your specific question, but I can share that my 1430 is much more sensitive to 3rd party ink carts than any of my 1400s.  Various carts will show errors and I used to have to swap them in and out to get the printer to work.   Finally got tired of that.  To the point that I am using genuine Epson ink carts in it.  I get them on eBay to avoid having to pay the retail cost.  I got one set for just $9, but that isn't the norm.

       I got back on to this problem today and I think
 I've made some progress. 
 After trying a few different things
 with no improvement, I decided to put a set of Epson ink
 cartridges back into the printer. I was missing the light
 cyan cartridge and I think the other five were empty.
 However, the printer starts up and goes into a normal ink
 missing condition; the ink light is on steadily and the six
 lights in the ink carrier are on. 
 I put the six MIS refillable
 cartridges in without powering the machine off. After
 reloading, the printer ran a head cleaning then went back to
 the paper and ink lights flashing together. 
 I think what has happened is that my
 machine is suddenly unhappy with the third party cartridges
 I have been using. I have not initiated a software update,
 so I doubt that is the issue, but I'm curious about the
 software versions that will work with third part cartridges
 and the ones the lock you out of using them. 
 From the printer drive panel I'm
 seeing that the machine is at Version 6.92,unless this is
 the driver version. I looked at MIS' page and they note
 differences between the 6.3 cartridge chips and earlier
 chips. I believe I have the 6.3 chips, at least I know I
 cannot mix this cartridges with my 1400 that uses the older
 cartridges. 
 Can
 anyone explain what software versions the 1430 should be on
 to allow third party cartridges?
