Been trying to get my printer to detect my black ink cartridge and I’m about to throw the printer into the wall

There are few things in this world I hate more than printers. Every printer of every brand that I have ever owned have been nothing but a source concentrated rage and frustration. Why haven't they figured out the design of printers after all these years? It must be deliberate.

Very helpful. Thank you. Totally cleared up the issue I was having with my Bluetooth printer. Saved me a lot of time.Thanks again 😊

[ruthkidson]

Thank you. It took me all morning to fix the wretched thing but, thanks to your advice, I was able to do so.

That scene in Office Space will forever be relevant. 🤣

[annafuentes]

Thank you. This did not work for mine. Glad you were available to help.

Thank you so much! Your guidance helped my Brother printer to accept the generic cartridges without a hitch. And my spouse was smitten by your very attractive self.

I had to make this comment. My Epson XP-530 that I have operating for more than 7 years, just today had this issue with the ink cartridge. I followed step by step all the directions of the video and just before I lost hope, after cleaning the contacts, it worked! Thank you!

The description says it includes "how to override Epson ink cartridge not recognized" but that is not the case. I followed all the steps on downgrading the firmware version also, but that did not fix it either.

It worked for Hp 82 black cartridge, thank you so much !😄

[HarringJess]

Thank you for this video! At 3:23 the issue was immediately resolved ❤

Almost a year later and this video saved my LIFE. I had tried for at least an hour to get my cartridges to read. I went with the removing cartridges, turning printer off, unplugging and walking away. While the cartridges were out I also cleaned off their chips and the contact points of the printers with alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Came back maybe 30 minutes later and cartridges were being recognized again --- well black and cyan had the exclamation point, the cyan was reading as OEM and the magenta still had the X but I used a chip resetter and re-installed and bingo it was recognized also.

Just had an issue with replacing the black ink cartridge for the 3rd time (first when I bought it and then replaced a couple weeks later no issue) Epson XP-15000. Upon replacing the black cartridge a 3rd time it would recongnize. I ended up rubbing my fingers on the metal contact on the cartridge, and finally on the contacts inside the printer itself and it finally worked.

Is it only the black one that doesn't work after replacement? Do the colors work after they have been replaced but just not the black?

4:09 I cannot add new cartrige while my printer is turned off. I have to turn it on, and then add new cartrige.

[Fari-]

Um...excuse me, but step 5? Plug it in but don't turn it on? How than do I install the new cartridges when the print head is not in position? Because the printer is not on 🤷🏽‍♂️

Third party cartridges aren't working simply because the printer company (an oriental company) has told its machines not to recognise them. The block comes down the line straight into your machine via Internet (what a useful device) It didn't before, yet they still made billions, but why now. They are following Adobe's lead with Photoshop, killing off the inspiration of those who cannot afford their costly software and by milking those who can't afford their $10, 000 a gallon ink supplies. Suddenly this year these vast wealthy companies are sending those who can't afford their exorbitant prices, to the wall. Its a block to those on a budget, many inspired writers and artists who just can't afford their exorbitant prices. Its the death of inspiration!

We’ve sent a rover to mars. You would think we’d know how to make a printer that is easy to use.
