Hi! I have an Epson XP-400 printer, and even after I put the black cartridge in, and ignore the message about replacing, it doesn't work. Suggestions?

Patrick, my car computer gave me the option to "keep printing anyway" and now it works fine.

Well, start with the fundamentals: Is the black cartridge in the correct slot where the black cartridge should go? If you put the old cartridge back in, does it work? Do you see the ink level show up when you query the device?

I used the black 125 with some success. Upon trying the color carriages , the printer Epson Nx420 refused all my attempts to print anything. I may have damaged the printer. My solution: It is less expensive to junk the printer than to repair it. I will purchase a new printer and chalk up my loss to experience.

Take out all the cartridges and clean the connectors with alcohol.Turn printer off and on, shake all the cartridges well and insert them. You may need to redo the steps few times before printer recognizes the cartridge again. It even happens with the original cartridge sometimes. On another note Epson printers are the worst. Can't wait to replace mine.

I tried everything ------my printer needs a new print head---- for a epson 3880 the cost of a new head ,almost the cost of a new printer. Nick P.

At least the black cartridge DOES NOT WORK on my J870DW printer. Thinking the first one might be a dud, tried a second one. That too didn't work.

My printer knows it is not Epson ink cartridges, but it still prints. Sorry I do not have a solution to your problem.

Now the black cartridge doesn't go in at all. The other cartridges fit in. I have gotten frustrated and dismantled the printer. Thanks for replying.

I have the same proble. Epson has sent me 2 printers. tells me it's a hardware issue. I know it's not. the printer does exactly what yours is doing. any resolution? Glenn

I believe the photo black must be replaced for the printer to work; in my experience if any of the colors are empty the printer shuts down. Be sure and match the symbols so you're uing the correct ink cartridge.

We had the same problem with the first one we bought and had to return it to the store. Ordered another one (exact same model) and it has worked beautifully. Have you tried actually replacing the cartridge? aIt could be that you have a faulty cartridge rather than a bad printer.

I received paperwork in my shipment that stated your printer will give you an "empty" notification, because the little computer chip on each cartridge will not work correctly after being remanufactured. There were also instructions on how to bypass or ignore the "ink level warning" on the printer if that warning doesn't allow the printer to print. Give it a try printing a sample page or two. My replacement cartridges have been working just fine. Good luck!

Sorry to hear about your problem, I never had any problem with mine recognizing the ink cartridges. I have ordered 2 different package deals and they both have worked. I would say that you have a problem within the printer itself. To have it fixed would cost more than getting another one. Unless it's still under Warranty.

I have an Epson Stylus 1400 that had not been used for nearly two years. It would not print at all. I followed the directions for Print Head Clog Buster, waiting overnight, and the printer has been working great! I had tried calling various repair shops. Now I'm glad I didn't take it in for service.

Mine bought since then (new) AND DOES NOT WORK FINE. Tried many and NONE worked.Others say that it worked....50-50 chance it doesn't. Again, NONE worked. Take your own risk.I'll buy genuine cartridges for this printer for now on. They ALL work.

It worked in my Epson XP-200. I'm on my first cartridge, but so far, so good.

Had a similar problem. One printer we had to return, but Epson is putting out bad cartridges. I sent in one printer to them because that happened. I had tried over and over to clean the printer heads, but after about 4 go arounds, and still no real printing happening, one of the cartridges was not recognized, then another, then another, then it started with the second set. Called Epson, they had me send in the printer and sent me a refirb. Came with their cartridges, same thing happened after printing one item, which printed horribly. Called them again, they sent me another cartridge, same thing happened, called again, they insisted they had to send more cartridges so I insisted they send an entire set. IT took an entire set of cartridges to get the thing functioning again. I dread having to change cartridges again. I have never had so much trouble with a printer, and I have let them know. They refused to allow me to post a negative review on their website for their printer. I guess it keeps their reviews high. What i learned is that the problem seems to be in the ink cartridges. Call them and insist they provide another set or two. They will make you jump through their troubleshooting hoops, but it is worth it if you can get them to send you cartridges. I only buy Epson cartridges and it is their cartridges that are failing.

I have an Epson xp310 it uses cartridge #200 and it works just fine. Check the cartridge your printer needs
