I too am a former EPSON printer owner! While we were on vacation for 6 weeks, the newly installed and highly expensive EPSON ink cartridges dried out (we live in arid Arizona).
We purchased after market cartridges for less than 1/2 the price. We printed a half dozen sheets before my husband updated the firmware as recommended by EPSON. You know the results! "Cartridges not recognized"!!!
After doing everything to "trick" the printer into accepting the cartridges, I found PissedOff. Yes! I too am pissed off! We thought about using the Epson printer as an anchor for our boat, but decided to return it to Costco (per the recommendation of one of the employees) and explain our disappointment and why (firmware).
It would be my hope that Costco reconsider their stocking Epson products if enough people complain and return their trash printers. Hit Epson in the pockets!

Dear Mr Kratzberg (CEO), You got me. As a fairly loyal Epson printer customer, I fell for your latest firmware update that promised to improve my security. I wasn’t quite expecting that the security in question was that of your highly coveted ink revenue. I now own a...

Epson - Print Cartridges No Longer Working
I just read that there is a class-action suit regarding your latest firmware update. Here's the downside to your stupid decision that limited printer cartridges to EPSON alone... You'll pay dearly in settling your lawsuit, plus, nobody is going to buy your printers and cartridges anymore. I have four printers that are going straight in the garbage tomorrow. Time to visit Costco and Sams Club and buy ANYTHING but Epson. Dumb decision. Whose idea was that?

Epsons raw greed
Purchased an Epson printer and because they changed the game I can no longer use it unless I buy overpriced Epson ink. They updated the firmware without telling me about the change. Raw greed.

Epson - Firmware update required me to buy a new printer
Used the recent firmware update and can no longer use my less expensive printer cartridges. This is a new low, will never again purchase Epson products.

Epson - Expensive paperweight
After a firmware update the printer no longer recognizes the ink cartridges it was printing from. Not replacing the expensive ink cartridges. Cheaper to buy a better printer, the first day a pin holding the paper for the sheet feeder was broken. I should have returned it then.

Epson - Malicious firmware no better than adware or spyware.
I am so disgusted with Epson right now. I purchased my Epson 446 printer. I purchased my ink. In no way should Epson be able to lock up my printer because I choose to use re-purposed ink cartridges. I bought this printer because I am a Girl Scout Leader/Volunteer who wears many hats. I need a printer that will hold up. I also need a printer for some small home jobs too. I was in the middle of a print job and locked up because I decided to run the firmware update and now it will not recognize my ink. I wasted money buying this printer because now I cannot do anything with it. I just purchased $50+ in ink. I will not be forced to use Epson ink. I will go buy a new printer, and I will never recommend or buy another Epson product.

Although the Epson website states that purchases are shipped via Fed Ex making a buyer feel secure with delivery, it has come to my attention that Fed Ex only picks up from the warehouse and then it drops off to the US Post Office which is a horror to deal with. Indeed...

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE. I wish I had seen this warning before I did it earlier today. I was a Canon faithful for a long time, but when my Canon died, I got a great deal on an Epson. I used it for quite a few months, always getting the cheaper ink and using it with...

Epson 4105 slow, ink guzzler
Brand new printer. I used up the included ink so replace it with new cartridges. It's going to lock me out now because the magenta which I replaced yesterday is showing that it's going empty!!! I printed about 5 pages! I've had an Epson xp830 which I could use for at least one month with the amount of printing I do!! The new black ink cartridge cost $43! I promised myself I would not buy another epson but it was an emergency buy for business in a small town with limited options. Wrong!! I should have gone back to a Canon printer which I've had in the past!!! This is extremely a slow, cheap plastic expensive to operate unit! I will never purchase an epson again!
