I have a problem with mine..all lights keep on blinking and I've tried to restart the printer, in addition to installing new ink. Is there a solution?

That's not a lot of info, but if you're using a Mac, I found a really helpful link for getting the best driver installed. Solved all of my little problems.http://www.macworld.com/article/2684309/the-trick-to-finding-the-right-printer-driver-for-your-mac.htmlHope this helps you.

Are you using a mac? I downloaded the correct driver from Epson.com. The lights on the start button and wi-fi button flash for a minute when I turn it on, then they stop flashing and it is ready to print. Other lights have to do with the ink levels. Have you looked on Epson's website for the meaning of the flashing lights?

Same thing happened to us, and we had to replace the printer. We changed the ink out for first party manufactured cartridges, and it still didn't work. We were lucky they covered it under warranty, but it still doesn't make sense as to why it happened. Good luck.

Before panicking, I would unplug the printer for 30 seconds after shutting it down, and do a reboot with the new cartridge in. If that doesn't work you can try it with the old cartridge in and then change cartridges after the reboot. I'm figuring you probably have this resolved by now, so can you tell us what ended up happening? Thanks.

I wish I had a solution for you but unfortunately I had to scrap my HP Officejet for the exact same issue. We tried changing all of the cartridges, including the black twice, just in case it was just a bad head and we even updated the software. After dealing with this ink-guzzling monster for over a year we junked it and got the Epson Workforce printer. We're having much better ink use with the new printer.

sounds like there is a problem with your chip. try combinations of installing while machine is on and off. if it doesn't work, contact the dealer of the cartridges, they were helpful to me.

I had a similar problem but it wasn't the cartridges. I emailed Brother from their support website and within about a day they got back to me and gave me some suggestions. I tried them and was back up and running. You might try using the cleaning function on your printer especially if you had let the ink go completely dry (which is not a good thing). It turned out to be dirty print heads on my machine. Hope you get your machine running soon.

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

Have you tried unplugging the unit for a few minutes and let it reset when turned back on? Try cleaning the contact points on the cartridge and the printer with a touch of alcohol on a q-tip, let it dry before putting it back in the unit.

I haven't had that problem, it sometimes asks me if I want to continue because it is not real epson ink, I just say yes to any prompt and continue to print. Sorry you are having trouble!

I suppose you have to buy new cartridges. I hope you like your printer better than I like mine. Mine sounds like a truck starting up when I use it.

I'm having the same problem with the black ink. I paid handsomely for this printer, and the Company should stand by their product. Let's see if they do. If I can't find a solution to the problem, I will address Brother. I suggest you do the same as it appears we are not alone.

Did you contact the seller for support? It sounds like it could be a bad chip on the cartridge. A replacement should solve the issue.

mine did the same thing, I calibrated, cleaned the printhead, changed the printhead and put brand new ink in it and it still didn't work. I am on my 3rd Kodak printer now from the company and it started doing it again. I am switching brands.

I don't recall if I had any issues like that or not. I'm an IT guy/computer nerd anyway so if I did, I fixed it immediately. With that said, I would recommend turning your printer off and then back on. Even try some different things like putting old cartridges in when printer is on and then turn it off, pull cartridges out and replace the new cartridges just before turning the printer back on. Make sure that any tape that may have been on the bottom of the cartridges is also removed. You'd be surprised how many people forget that. One thing to look at also, if the problem persists, is to check the settings on the actual printer and look at the ink level. If the ink level is showing that everything is full, as it should be, then the printer is at least detecting things that far. Hope this little bit will help, if not feel free to post back. If you end up having to post back, let us k ow what you be tried, and the specific issue you're having. This way I, or someone else, can give more accurate advice to further troubleshoot the issue. :)

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.
