Epson Chipped Cartridges

I was just wondering if anybody knows how to reset the chip on an Epson T040
cartridge without buying a reset device. Alternatively, if anyone just knows
any way to wire up the printer so that it always thinks there is a full
cartridge in the slot, that'd be good too.

Just how complex are the chips? Do they send out a coded signal, or is it
just a case of some contacts being on/off?

Wait till this program locks up your computer all the time.

Just my 2 cents

It's just an EEPROM memory chip, so you have to either reset the chip,
using either PC software, or an external resetter. If you want to fool
the printer, you need a microcontroller to emulate an always full
chip.

No, you have to get a microcontroller, and upload executable code to
it, and build it onto a PCB which you isntall in your printer.

There are a number of misconceptions and errors in the two letters.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Epson "convinced" the
Dutch Consumer Associations the "error of their ways" ;-).
