Not true.  I've used recycled cartridges on my HP printer for ages.  And I've 
taken one out, put a new one in, and when I got a faulty one that the printer 
wouldn't accept I put the old one back in until I could get a replacement.  
No problems at all.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not true", but it sounds as if you have an older HP printer.

At local computer fairs I see that a lot of refilled cartridges are available 
for Epson printers, but some vendors say that they are 'guaranteed chipped'.  
I've also read recently that the EU are trying to outlaw the practise of 
chipping cartridges, because it makes recycling difficult.

Exactly what do you mean by "chipped"?
