I discovered some time ago that Epson printers can be a bit "touchy." Somewhere on the net and I can't find it right now, there's a British bloke who first shared his solution, and I continue to use it today: Remove the cartridge in question. Then turn off your printer and go have a cup of tea (or coffee or whatever...). It's best if you can leave it overnight even. Then next day, turn it on, replace the cartridge and try to print your page again....
As an ebayer who uses a LOT of printer ink, I also have discovered that THE CHEAPEST way to operate an all-in-one printer is to purchase a refill kit and refill one's own cartridges. Then you are surprised and AMAZED at how long your printer will keep printing and printing and printing. Yes, I'm talking about the needles and syringes. I used to think they were too messy. But if your budget is tight, a little messy one day in about 2 or 3 months doesn't seem too bad. I refill all my cartridges at a sink which can be cleaned up afterwards (NOT the kitchen). I have two sets of cartridges for each color, and voila! I bless my printer every day for how long it keeps printing! How cheaply it operates. One must disable the ink monitor, but even then, there is the occasional day when it just decides not to recognize one cartridge or another... I'm about to get all fidgety myself when I recall the British solution, and I shut it off and go have a cup of tea!

People who think they MUST purchase only Epson cartridges, well, they must have a lot of money!

My Epson NX3300 All-in-One is a real jewel! It has never worked better!

Epson 1400 not recognizing an epson ink cartridge

not necessarily faulty cartridge - had same problem went thru various cartridges some worked some didn't - in fact they weren't epson - so bought epson from office depot and that would not work, so not an issue of ink dried up - if yr printer is fairly old may be easier just to replace rather than waste time and money on trying to figure out problem

if it is still under warranty , call for a technician to do a warranty check
there are some printer manufacturers that have an inbuilt program that will cut out the machine if anything but genuine cartridges are used
under warranty or not , there is a clause in consumer law that states , the unit has be be replaced or money refunded it the machine is not fit for the purpose or the unit fails before a reasonable of period of time in use
one round of cartridges is not a reasonable expectation of the time in use not is it fit for the purpose if it will not work after one round of cartridges

I have replaced the ink cartridge Magenta (T0813), with the new one, but the printer Epson R390 can't recognize it. It says Ink cartridge cannot be recognized. Make sure ink cartridges are correctly...

It might possible that the new cartridge is defective.
Try to turn off your printer, wait at least 3 minutes, turn back on.
This may reset the printer.
You could also try to remove your magenta cartridge.
Shake it a little, this will remove any trap air and fill the catridge cavity.
Reinstall the cartridge.

Make sure there is nothing between the print cartridge and the place where it goes. Make all the plastic is removed from the cartridge. If you have a can of air, blow out the cartridge area.

Epson Stylus SX400 "Ink cartridges cannot be recognized"

Try this: First check which cartridge(s) are not being recognized. In my case where I replaced all three color cartridges, two were recognized right away but one was not. You find out by sending a print request to the printer and looking at the ink cartridge levels diagram in the dialog window. In my case two of three were fine but one had a red X on it. So I removed it and cleaned the contacts with alcohol then rocked it in the slot after pressing it in. It was recognized and the charging process began as normal.

Epson R1800 printer won't recognize new ink cartridge

You can remove magenta & double check that some tape was not left behind on the contacts. Take a clean ragg & dampen it with alcohol. Clean the ink cartridge's (copper contacts & inside the the ink carrige). Re-install the magenta, (tight fit). Power off the printer. Wait a few seconds & power it back up. If it fails a second time with no other errors. Like the above. Than the magenta may be defective. Have a recipt? Return it for a replacment.

New Magenta Ink is not recognized after installed

Hi, it sounds that the issue can be caused by a defective ink cartridge that installed or a printhead that can recognize magenta ink cartridge. To identify which causes this issue please try the following:

1. Reseat ink cartridge
2. Replace ink cartridge with a specified ink cartridge for your printer.
3. If above steps wont resolved that issue, please call your printer manufacture and ask for service referral or process warranty options.
