Printer Cartridge Restrictions.

I have an Epsom SX510W printer that has started refusing to recognise non OEM cartridges. I boughta pile on the internet for less that half the price that Epsom would bounce me for and at first they worked fine, The it came up with 'Cartridges not recognised, it went to the change cartridges menu and that was that. Changing the cartridges by pulling them out and reinserting them made no difference.

I thought that to programme something to only accept your products was illegal under the competition laws. I had used compatable cartridges with other printers before and even in this case the printer accepted them initially.

I can't be bothered to hire a QC to sort the legal bit out but does anyone know of a website were you can download an Epsom software programme that lets it accept compatible cartridges.
