Epson firmware designed to make your compatible ink cartridges unrecognized
I have two Epson ink printers at the moment, they popped up the messages every certain period, which said one or more cartridges are not recognized, I replaced the indicated cartridges with compatible ones, after restart, the printers popped up again, showed similar messages.
I uninstalled everything of epson software, and reinstalled it, all cartridges are working well, of cause, not for long.
If you have the similar problems for using compatible inks, try the same as I did, plus used firewalls to block communication between the epson software in your computers and epson servers, and do not connect printers to wifi, the printer firmware is able to communicate with epson server as well.

Terrible quality - built as a short term disposable printer
Epson should be ashamed of the quality of this printer. Almost every second day the printer has some form of problem. Even after conducting all of the automated cleaning operations, it will only print a handful of pages before some other problem starts. Problems include lines through the print, faint printing or no print, misalignment of the paper. Ruining labels. The amount of time and money we have spent on ink and wasted pages is ridiculous. Never again.

Wish I'd bought a different one
9 out of 10 times you try to print the wifi has lost connectivity. You've either got to type all the info in again or restart the printer. Which sometimes it's reluctant to do.
It absolutely guzzles ink and they cost a small fortune.
And you can't print black and white if one of the colour cartridges is empty. This simply function would make a big difference.
Also, the cheaper online cartridges often don't get recognised by the printer. So you are stuck buying the unjustifiably expensive Epson ones.
Oh and the scanner only seems to work if you drive it from the computer, rather than from the printer.

What a dud!
The rollers stopped working on the first printer after only using it for a couple of months. Officeworks replaced it and now have the same problem with the second printer. The rollers stop working and paper isnt feeding through. Absolute dud! Don't buy it.

Joined product review just to warn people from buying this!!!
Literally the worst printer ever.
Scanner only works 10% of the time.
Printer only works 20% of the time. No reason as to why it doesn’t work the other 80/90% of the time. After reading other reviews I wish I saw this before hand. Stay away from this absolute crap!

Can't print B&W without colour ink
Worst mistake buying one of these printers. All I need is B&W printing but the printer magically leaks colour and can't print without colour ink.
Epson is just another money hungry company who give zero care to how useful their junk actually is. I literally have to buy colour just to print B&W. Ridiculous

Stay clear - worst piece of equipment I have ever owned
This printer is the biggest piece of cr** I have ever owned - I don't think it has ever printed a single page without problems. If any of the colour cartridges run out, you do not have the option to print in B & W. One or another cartridge always seems to be out, even though I hardly ever print in colour, so the thing never works. If by some miracle all the stars align and the cartridges actually work, there is some other glitch that means the thing can't print. Forget trying to connect it to your phone, it's not worth the frustration. I am unp...Read more
lugging it as we speak and it's going in the bin, because I have already spent so much money on cartridges without actually getting a single decent print out of it that I cannot even justify it with my conscience to give the thing away.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Worst printer around, terrible quality and chews through ink
I have to run the print head cleaning multiple times just print a document because it doesn't print properly. Also stops printing mid page because one of the ink cartridges is supposedly out. one of the most unreliable, frustrating printers I have experience. Ill will never buy an epson again.

What a waste of money -
1- You must have all ink cartridges in the printer to print. EG - One of your colours runs out and you want to print in greyscale, the printer will not let you do it. You have to replace that colour even though you are not going to use it!!
2- Printer is connected to the PC via USB - When I attempt to scan, it says that it is not connected.. yet it will allow me to print...
TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!
It came recommended by the guy at Officeworks! My guess he has never used one!
July 7th 2018 Update: WASTE OF MONEY!! Mine is going in the bin!
- I was sold this printer by the guy at Officeworks as being a good printer and that the ink was good value.

Does what it’s meant to - nothing more
This printer was fairly simple to connect via wifi to my computer but despite many attempts I’ve never succeeded in connecting my phone.
Don’t bother trying to print photos, they come out rubbish.
Also, if a colour runs out, that’s the end of your printing. I’ve been left fuming multiple times before when I have had a full black cartridge and an empty colour and I’m prevent from even printing a black and white word doc.
Only being able to buy genuine cartridges from Officeworks is also a massive pain, so beware of that little marketing trick.
At the end of the day, it does work and has for a few years now so it’s ok.

My Epson XP432 Printer has been a waste ot time and money hardly used..
I have had little use of this printer as it required being set with Wi FI several times and wont accept the usb cord I have,
The black cartridge ran out quickly printing less than 50 pages.
I wasnt aware that Office Works Cairns, where I purchased the printer would be the only place to buy a replacement cartridge.
I live Rural which meant my printer has been dormant due to ink inaccessibility.
Innisfail has three stationary stores and Cartridge world but no Epson 29 ink as no other than Office works can sell it.

Never buy epson again!!! Never ever
This EPSON XP-432 is a joke, because The printer refuses to print in black and white when there is one colour cartridge empty and black is 100%. Terrible printer, junk, its like when you spend a ton of money on buying a black ink, and it tell you the colour cartridge is empty and you can't do about this, unbelievable.

Solution to expensive refills
I have used this printer nearly every day for 10 months and have found it to perform adequately, given its low price.
Print quality and scan quality have been quite good. As others have mentioned, it does have a quirk in that it stops printing when a cartridge runs out, so it pays to always have a full set of cartridges on hand. You can order cheap replacements online from CartridgeSale.com.au and they are delivered FAST - only 2 or 3 days from Sydney to Perth.

Another junk printer
This one barely worked for a month before I started running into issues with it. The printer refuses to print in black and white when there is one colour cartridge empty and black is 100%. The connection between printer and PC constantly had to be reset as well. It's a headache to deal with. Spend a bit more and buy something else.

I have regretted this purchase
Plenty has already been said about the cost of the cartridges and the duration of them. Today I had to replace the magenta one and no sooner had I restarted printing then I had to replace the yellow one. If you mostly print B&W as I do then you should not have to replace the colour ones in the interim if the B&W is still full. This is a real rip off and very frustrating if you have to go out and buy for example a magenta cartridge to continue printing. Just as well Officeworks is not too far away. I was talked into this printer by a salesper...Read more
son at Officeworks in Airport West. Originally considering a Canon and should have proceeded with this. I have only had this printer for little over a year and will be buying a new one (not Epson). To cap it off it has stopped printing any B&W text at all even though cartridge is still full and yes I have done the usual checks and head cleaning etc and still not working. If I have to say something positive it is easy to use and cartridges are easy to change which is just as well as they last for so little time. .Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Easy to use
This printer is really quite simple to operate and I found that the ink the ink is easy to change, as I've never done that before. The print quality is pretty good for black and white but for colour prints of artwork that I make I'd prefer to outsource to a professional printing store. Otherwise this a fairly good product.

Not worth buying
This printer prints slowly and scans slowly as well. The ink cartridges cost as much as the printer itself. If one ink cartridge(it has 4) runs out, it's useless. Even if the black colour is full, it won't let you print until you replace that one empty one. Even though you only want to print black and white pages. It doesn't tell you the ink levels available and by time you replace the empty cartridge, the next one will run out. I had a 7 year old HP printer and even if the colour cartridge ran out, I was still able to print in black and white and use non hp brand cartridges. I should have done better research and not bought this printer. Now I am in the market for a new printer. :(

This printer absolutely blows
Throughout my life I've owned multiple printers, from cannon, to HP to Epson. The xp432 is by far the worst printer I have ever owned.
The cartridges are expensive and can only be purchased at officeworks.
After 3 months without printing the printer heads dried out and doesnt print properly
The scanner is EXTREMELY slow, and after 3-4 scans needs TO COOL DOWN??? My HP Deskjet from 3 years ago didnt even need this
The interface is gluggy and has redundant buttons.
Save your money, DO NOT buy this printer.
