Hello everybody,

I recently purchased an EPSON ME 200 (3 weeks ago) and the Epson software tells me that my black ink cartridge is empty which is impossible as I only printed 4 pages!!!

I tried to take it out and put it back following the procedure of replacement but the indicator is still empty...

Does anyone have a solution to use this full cartridge which is recognized as empty by the printer?

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi, I also have the Epson ME 200, and Ihad the same problem, even though I installed a continuous ink-feeder (which is a great idea economically, as it only costs about $20), which shouldn't run out of ink for several years under regular usage. Anyway, I realized that disabling the ink monitoring and warnings in the printing options solved this problem. Then of course it won't tell you even when it really is out of ink.
