    I regret purchasing Epson - they rope you into a cycle of buying ink cartridges one spoonful at a time. Pirates!!!

      Purchase The Epson 15000 tank no cartridge The only secondary thing that you have to buy is $9 maintenance box That's something that you have to buy for a lifetime but You can buy a$15 bypass for the maintenance box now all you have to do is by the ink no ink cartridges because it's a tank You buy one big bottle of refill ink

      Just ran into this after it's worked faithfully for years. Just replaced the black... all I need is the black. Yellow and Magenta are empty but who cares right... RIIIGHT?
      I'm about this close from going full "Office Space" on this printer.

    I've spoken to one of the companies that remanufactures cartridges and they say that Epson has included in their latest firmware updates the inability to use the printer with any ink made by any other manufacturer. My printer is now disabled if I use anything but original Epson print cartridges. The remanufacturer is refunding my purchase as there is no work around to fix this. I've used remanufactured ink for years, but can't any more. I heard there was a class action suit be brought against Epson around this.

      There seems to have been several class action lawsuits but they never went anywhere. Now Epson is suing companies that are offering third party/remanufactured ink cartridges. Honestly the best option right now would probably be for everyone to dump there printers at the Epson main office and purchase a different brand. That way they can deal with the e-waste themselves. Even if you don't buy there products they really won't care until they go out of business and have to deal with the actual trash they are selling to people.

      It would seem that you have to cancel the Auto Updates in the printer settings so I've read. When first setting up the printer in the latest models because in the the Auto Updates Epson include this feature to lock you in to buying their Ink. It's not only Epson but Canon and HP are doing the same thing, so I believe. This type of sneaky practice needs investigating by a Monopoly Commission.

    • @jkalberer

      Is it aftermarket ink? Epson sends out regular firmware updates that prevent using non-epson ink. I'm finding that out right now.

    • @DavidEarle786
      @DavidEarle786 10 місяців тому +2

      @@jkalberer Yes, it was aftermarket ink I was using. It turns out that the yellow cartridge's metal contacts were dead, and not being recognized by the printer. I got some new cartridges (after market again), and it's working fine. I got the usual message that I wasn't using genuine Epson ink, but I was able to bypass that. Yea, I know they try to prevent the user from using non-genuine inks, but I have been using EasyINK remanufactured cartridges for years with very few problems.

    I have a $50 epson with only black ink. I can’t print in black and white. Epson customer support said I NEED all the colors because the printer uses ALL the colors to print in black ink. I asked her is that sounds kinda dumb… she paused and said her opinion on my situation isn’t relevant and can’t comment on my situation. Basically, “it is what it is”
