Epson firmware designed to make your compatible ink cartridges unrecognized

published

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.

Purchased in June 2021.

Terrible quality - built as a short term disposable printer

published

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.

What a dud!

published

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!!!

published

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

published

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

Worst printer around, terrible quality and chews through ink

published

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.

Does what it’s meant to - nothing more

published

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..

Never buy epson again!!! Never ever

published

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

published

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

published

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.

Easy to use

published

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

published

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

published

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.
