Printer problems
8 Answers
Due to recurrent ill health and hospitalisation I have only used computer a couple of times in last few weeks and have not used printer for about 3 months. I tried to print a document but nothing happened on the pop up screen there was a message that ink cartridges were empty. Printer is Epson 550 wireless. I have replacement cartridges on order. This morning I went through the printer nozzle cleaning and print head testing, and checking ik levels on printer all 4 cartridges were showing varying levels but there was ink in every one. I tried to print doc. and again nothing happened and Epson pop up was showing all cartridges empty. Would replacing ink cartridges be OK, or do I have an unresolved problem?.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have posted before about the fact that printers are cheaper than the ink replacements from the manufacturers of the said printer.....it's a bit like the old maxim of the safety razor company "give them the razor and you have a customer for life for the blades"
There are plenty of cheaper inks around and I have used these for years with Epson printers......give them a try.
As for your problem..you could try reinstalling the cartridges.....might be just a contact problem....

I have an Epson printer, albeit a different model to yours - mine is an Epson Stylus Photo R300 - but I do occasionally have the same problem where the printer will tell me the installed cartridges are empty. The way I solve this is to go through the motions of replacing the cartridges, where in fact I'm merely removing and reinstalling the old ones. If I remember rightly, the first time I did this it took me a couple of attempts before it worked. Hope it works for you too.
