Solved Epson Printer Says New Ink Cartridges Are Empty

  • 0

Hello all,

I just bought an Epson WF-2530 off Craigslist. I bought brand new Epson brand ink cartridges for it, and it worked fine last night, except for some lines on images for which I cleaned the print heads a few times. Then all of a sudden this morning it reported the cyan cartridge as empty and wouldn’t print. I went out and bought a new cyan cartridge and now it says magenta and yellow are empty, and black is low! I’ve tried everything I’ve seen online: cleaning the chip contacts, reseating the cartridges, shaking them, power-cycling the printer, turning the printer on with on cartridges installed… This is really irritating! These are brand-new Epson cartridges, not refilled or anything. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

    1. Buy a Canon printer, mate. I used to have an Epson. Nothing but trouble and nozzles blocked up unless you printed at least one full colour image with it every day. Wasted more ink unblocking the nozzles than actually printing with the damn thing.

      I bought a Canon PIXMA model five years ago & have never had reason to regret it.
