Epson printer gets a "Not Recognised error" when installing a new ink cartridge.

1. Before throwing the whole thing out I might try

The old unplug and reset trick. Rub the bottom of the cartridge on a cloth before reinserting.

Look for the most recent printer driver to download.

Double check if the "new Epson" cartridges are from a recognized source.

If bought at a retail, return and get new.

If bought on the net, that may be the problem.

Have an older Epson here and resisting upgrading or buying new. So far, no problems.

Good luck.
