I Installed a firmware update, and now the printer can no longer "recognize" my print cartridges which had been working fine until the update. Word on the Internet is that Epson deliberately tries to punish people who buy replacement cartridges from other vendors, so...

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 in Oil City, Pennsylvania - 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...

Epson in Deland, Florida - UPDATE
The last update disabled my printer because they want me to by their ink! I refuse. I'll never buy another EPSON!!!
Review
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!
