How do I get my printer to recognize these cartridges? They fit the slot, but don't print.

Worked perfectly for me. Have Epson WP-4530. Loaded them into a powered-off unit, turned it on, printed test page, no problem.

I tried tuning the printer off (WP 4530) then loaded the cartridge like others suggested, still no image. Do I need to change the setting?

I don't know. They worked right away for me. There ware some instructions that came with them that said turn off the printer.

My printer had no problem with them. Try turning macine off then on. Also make sure you pulled the protective cover off of the print head. Good luck

The same thing happened to me. They are the wrong cartridges. The sensors are either incorrect or defective.

I just slid them in mine and it worked. Make sure they are in correctly and firmly snap them in. Try rebooting computer and printer also. Make sure you have the latest printer drivers also.

I do not know what printer you have, but my Epson Stylus NX215 balked at first, but by removing and reinserting the cartridges, it finally recognized them. It still balks occasionally, but again, I remove and reinstall the cartridges.

I compared the cartridges with the OEM ones for your printer and it doesn't appear that they are compatable. If this seller has the correct ones for your printer I would recommend trying them. I've been using them for over a year in 2 different printers and they have been great.

I buy mine from 4inkjets. They guarantee their cartridges to work and I've never had a problem with anything I've bought from them over the years. They are way less expensive than the OEM cartridges.

You need to find out what cartridges your printer takes. They need to be compatible. Go to Ink Images to find out.

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 :(

My printer, Pixma 4820, recognized the cartridges. Printing was fine for thing which are not kept, however photos faded badly and I've gone back to Canon ink. Jim Wilson

They did not work in my MFCJ450DW. Received error message that says it cannot detect ink.

I went thru the same thing. Contacted the seller and they sent me new ones and I had the same problem. I'm not happy with the cartridges OR my printer. Wish I could give you more help.

I have a similar printed and the refurbished cartridges work on mine. Don't know why they will not work on yours. Sorry I cannot be a much help.so

You did not provide the printer model. Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer. (ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.) If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

Take them out and reinstall them. If that does not work, reboot the printer

Hi Ryan - I use these cartridges with no problem. All I can think of is to figure out how to reset your printer or printer settings (Google how to reset to factory settings)? Worth a try. Best. Josh

If you haven't already, double check your installation -- that they are correct cartridges in correct spots. Perhaps you have dud cartridges. Try exchanging them for a new set. We have replaced our cartridges with no problem.

When I put the first cartridge in I was impressed with the quality and the printer recognized it. After a few prints strange colored bands appeared which I could not seem to fix. To answer your question, yes they work and may work in yours just fine. For me the small cost to experiment was worth it.

I had that happen. I had to take the ones out I had in. put different ones in. Then later when I put the original ones that didn't work- they worked. It had something to do with how the cartridges snapped in.

Using the cartridges is always interesting. The chips onthe cartridges need to perfectly match the pins in the printer. If you are getting "cartridge not recognized" that may or may not be solved by removing and replacing the cartridge. If you are getting noting, power down the printer, let things reset and then try the new cartridges. I consider these a boon when they work and am not too disappointed when they don't. You might also try cartridges from one of the other packs. I hope this is helpful - and if not, truly sympathetic.
