Thank you Miling!
Your advise solved the problem.
My T580B VLM cart seems to have a chip problem.
I managed to get the 3880 functioning again.
But I also ordered a new original VLM cart.
Thank you again!

I have 2 printers:
- Epson Pro 3880, which is causing all kinds of problems, like the Pro 3800 which I had before.
Photo printing was excellent, but using this type of printer was a constant "pain"!
Due to all kinds of small and sometimes serious problems.
Relability was totally insufficient...
I already purchased a chip resetter for the Pro 3880 and did try to reset (showing a green light for oke).
But the problem continues unchanged.
I purchased my first T5280 tank and the 2e tank from different official Epson suppliers.
Both T5280 maintenance tanks are in the same type box, and...

The old tank Is also no longer accepted.
As I wrote before when I noticed that the new tank was not accepted I purchased another new T5820 tank again.
But this wasn't accepted either!
I purchased the Pro 3880 after my Pro 3800 also did cause too many problems.
Although the 3880 is a fine...
The maintenance tank T5820 on Epson Pro 3880 was full.
I removed this tank and introduced a new tank.
But this tank is refused!
I purchased a second new tank but this is refused too!
I did put some layers of tape on the right side of tank to ensure that a contact with the chip on the tank is...
On my Epson Pro 3880 I purchased a new T5820 Maintenance cartridge to replace an old one that is full and needs to being replaced.
I removed the old cart and did put in the new one.
But the new maintenance cartridge is refused.
So I purchased another new maintenance cartridge, but the same...
Dear Jorik and Berserk,
I tried all advice I received. But to no avail.
I tested various Ethernet cables and as I wrote before, finally bought a new one Cat 5e.
I tested these advices with and without USB connection. Switched the iMac off and on.
I noticed the following irregularities (?)...
Berserk: The basic problem seems to be that, after removing the USB that there is no Ethernet connection between the 3880 printer and the iMac.
I nevertheless tried to apply your instructions:
In 3880-panel
Chose"Printer setup" - Network OKE
Next "Enable Network" OKE
Static - Fix IP...
JORIK:
I applied your instructions and ended up with the second list of results of the Ping, meaning that iMAC can not connect to the Epson 3880.
My (new) Ethernet cable Cat 5e, is connected between Printer and at one of the three equal top ports on on the Airport Time Capsule. The port on the...
Jorik:
I regret but I have no idea how to apply your instructions to see whether the "iMac can contact the Epson"?
This is far above my limited software abilities!
The Epson 3880 has IP 192.168.0.010 - SubNet Mask 255.255.255.0. - Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
There are three points that might...
