"Unfotrunately, you would not be able to use either, this is a rare case when epson made two different firmware series for one model. Your printer uses firmware with AA prefix while we only have versions with AO prefix and they are incompatible with each other." It would be helpful if the firmware utility and the purchase tool mentioned the inability to support the AR1430 AA... firmware version. I've corresponded back and forth with a support tech. who also doesn't know the AA versions are not supported. For it being such a popular and (when working) good printer I surprised there isn't yet a fix for this issue. Please, create an Epson 1430 AA... fix, I can't afford to spend $1000 to fix my DesignJet or buy another wide format printer. And the thought of trashing my Epson is heartbreaking.
