Ditto for me. Once the printer is recognized to have MK or PK ink in
it, it remains recognized even if I turn it off and back on again.
As for whether to keep the printer off or on when not in use, that is
a point of debate. Epson recommends that the printer be turned off
(via the power switch on the printer --- not by pulling the plug)
because that moves the print head over a cover that prevents the
print head from drying out and clogging. I don't think it's necessary
if you use your printer often. The Ultrachrome inks also don't
evaporate as quickly as the dye-based inks used in the lower cost
Epson printers.

That's not the case on my Mac with the latest 2200 drivers. Once
the computer has recognized the new cartridge, it will continue to
recognize whether it's turned off or not. However, I don't turn my
printer off. I see no reason to do so.
