Re: [Digital BW] Re: Epson 1430 Issues

My problem is looking like a firmware issue in the printer - it no longer accepts third party cartridges. Not sure how this could have happened, I did not do an intentional firmware update, but I'd like to find out what is going on.

Can anyone tell me what the last known "good" firmware revision is, i.e. what firmware is known to work with third party cartridges?

What is the procedure to find the current firmware version in the printer? (Not the driver, that is 6.92.)

Is the current Epson Software Updater v4.4.9 "safe" to use?

Is the Epson Recovery Mode Firmware vAO25G2 "safe" to use?
