Are these ready to use, or do I have to transfer the old chip onto the new cartridges?

They're ready to use as is. Like (I think) I said though, it just took 3 or 4 printer clean cycles for them to work right (which, as I also said, might or might not have been due to the fact that the printer had been unused for quite sometime). It's been several months now and they still work fine and seem to be lasting longer than the originals. I probably sound like a rep for the company that puts these out but, believe me, if I find something like this that works well for a fraction of the price, I am very happy!

They are ready to use. I never read anything about these (LC-61) cartridges having a chip but you don't have to do anything with these cartridges they work fine the way you get them.

Yes, according to all the sellers on the certain huge online auction site not-to-be-named. But, you have to keep in mind that the chip and printer will forever remember each other and the printer will continue to give you a pop up stating your ink is low, when in fact you just filled it. The ink level is a guesstimate and not an actual level indicator. You can buy off-brand cartridges and put the old chip on them, but they will show as empty. You have to force the driver to accept that you wish to keep using the "empty" tanks. It works, it's just annoying.

You don't have to put the anything on the new cartridge. Just push it into the printer and it will click right in.

You can simply put the new reset chip on top of the old one. Thank you for your interest!

I would highly recommend putting all of the ink cartridges in your printer upon receipt of the order. One of my cartridges didn't work but it was passed 30 days before I figured that out. If you are able to put them in your printer and they don't work well at least you can send them back. It's not bad for the money but I should have loaded them all in at once. FYI one of the computer chips on the cartridge was bad.

Not sure what you mean by chips. The cartridges are a complete replacement for the original. They have the LED that indicates proper connection and it also shows the ink-level in the menu. Hope this helps.

They do not come with chips. There is a you tube video that shows how to fill and remove the chips from the old cartridges and put them on these cartridges.

I had that happen. I had to take the ones out I had in. put different ones in. Then later when I put the original ones that didn't work- they worked. It had something to do with how the cartridges snapped in.

I don't know about that specific chip but it never worked for me - it was just too cheap to worry about the return. I since changed to an HP printer that allows used cartridges.

They will fit but the chip on the cartridge may or may not work with your printer.

Should work with either. There are helpful step by step videos on YouTube. Watch one of them to be sure your cartridge matches.

If you are going to purchase another 922 then I'm pretty sure that all you have to do is plug in the new one. If you use a different model number then you must go to "Printers and Faxes" and click on the " Add a Printer", insert the CD to download the new information needed for the new printer to work.

I honestly don't know, but I have stored them for months before using them and have been able to switch them in mid-print without being able to see where the new cartridge was installed. I suspect you can store them a long time, but I would check the tech info on the Epson website for their recommendations.

I don't remember. The way I remember it, I used all the hardware from the old cartridge. I just took the old one out and installed the new one.

sounds like there is a problem with your chip. try combinations of installing while machine is on and off. if it doesn't work, contact the dealer of the cartridges, they were helpful to me.

If it is a genuine Epson cartridge the chip re-setter will not work. The genuine Epson cartridges are non resettable and you will need to buy the cartridges that will work for the re-setter.

A reset chip is required for each refill. No upgraded/downgraded firmware was required. I have never upgraded my firmware since purchasing the printer 2 years ago and the kit worked fine. Just don't try to put all of the toner in or you may ovrrfill the cartridge and make a mess. I suggest stopping after 3/4's of the supplied toner has been loaded into the cartridge.
