It didn't work on my Workforce 520. The printer only works with 2 black cartridges and this package has only one. Is there a way to print w/ one only?

They didn't work for ME either, they are a waste of money. They worked only briefly, then I started getting the "cartridge not recognized" message and the printer is now completely useless. EPSON is the problem--they have software blocks and encoded timers on their cartridges, so if only ONE cartridge is out, the printer is completely useless: it won't print even in black & white, it won't copy, it won't fax and it won't scan. Please join me in boycotting the disgustingly immoral and unethical Epson company and do NOT buy any printer products from them! I will never own another. The WF520 was by far the worst I have ever owned, but not because of quality, which is fine-- it is their forcing you to use only their ink, thereby circumventing customer choices in ink, cartridges and other things Epson wants to monopolize. And when we buy a printer we should be able to USE it as a scanner or copier with black ink only, even if the printer has a problem with colored ink. DON'T BUY EPSON.

When I have used it prints 2 times the usual amount, but you need to check your printer to make sure you can use it. Email HP to make sure

I think most HP deskjet printers work on one cartridge . Just pull out color and turn on it well tell you it's in single cartridge mode .

I have not had any need to print doublesided documents, but I will try to check it out tomorrow and let you know. I do have a Mac, so my printer menus are considerably different than the ones that pop up on a PC. I have never even seen a "black ink only" option, despite searching. I will try to find it.Thanks for a well thought out and relevant response.

these cartridges fit in my workforce printer, but my printer would not print with them because it said that it did not recognize the cartridge. I bought 2 packs of each color and had to throw them away :(

I guess that I had a similar experience. I replaced the black cartridge several times and worked with help desk. Eventually it came down to replacing the entire print engine. At this point I took the printer to the dump. Sorry you had a similar experience.

Mine work fine with Workforce 545. If you put into Amazon your printer number I am sure it will pull up several vendors who sell the one you need.

Didn't work with my Brother HL4570CDW. I also ordered one directly from Kingston, and it didn't seem be accepted by the printer either. I never called Brother to try to toubleshoot - just coninued to use the printer as is.

Sorry I just saw this. I have been using Canon printers since 'before Windows' and have always used generics and in all those years I think 3 cartridges have failed me. Be sure and type in the model of YOUR ink cartridge for your printer in the Amazon search bar and you should get many options.

This makes no sense to me as I have purchased this exact package and both the black and color cartridges worked in my Envy 4500 just fine. I think this must be a mistake on the part of the seller.

I'm not sure . That never happen to me . Ran out of black ink and was able to still print in color. But not sure if it works the other way around.

Maybe its because you entered the incorrect Printer model. My printer is a X4650 and it work perfectly...

I have used OC Products and Printonic from Amazon in my printer like this. Most of the generic or refurbished cartridges that I have used worked well. I have had a few that did not. I recently got some very cheap ones from Meritline that worked when first installed, then after a few weeks, suddenly the printer did "not recognize" the cartridge and would not print. I tried a lot of things but nothing worked and I had to throw away those 2 cartridge, 2 black ink. My advice DO NOT get the very cheapest ones. Amazon has a feature that I like very much where it will let you know if the cartridges will work in your printer if you have it listed.

I don't own this printer, but I believe the printer uses two different types of Black ink (at the same time, in different slots). So, for the printer to work, you would have to have all the color cartridges installed as well as both black cartridges - one of each type.

First 127 (part# e-1271) cartridge I installed wasn't recognized by my printer and gave me an error message. "Cannot recognize the following ink cartridge(s). Install them correctly. <Ink Cartridges>". I removed that one then I installed the second, it installed without a hitch. The printer proceeded to print the pending jobs. After those jobs, I'm getting the same error message. I do have a WF 845. It didn't work on mine.
