I just bought the above new printer that is compatible to my computer, but when I try to print the message says Cannot Recognize Print Cartridges. I have installed cartridges correctly.
I had a problem with one of my Epson ink cartriges and called the company and they replaced it for free. Also many companies that sell knock off ink cartridges now have fixed the problem and now they are recognized by the printer.
You cannot enter Setup Mode while there is an existing Ink Cartridge Error being posted.

CATTOT RECOGNIZE INK CARTRIDGES
YES THEY ARE EPSON
when i try to hit "setup" to solve this problem it says "invalid operation". What do i do. this is the worste printer ever.
Same printer, purchased same time from Staples UK. I have installed Black, Cyan, Yellow correctly with no problems before. I was almost finished printing 12 page Word document and it stopped saying I had run out of Magenta and Black. I could not get new inks then so had to abort print run and start agin when I had the inks.
It now says that it does not recognise my cartridges- black, cyan and yellow after replacing Magenta only. So it does not print. I have not touched any other cartridge.
