It is my choice to use generic cartridges. I just did a firmware update and now it won't accept my cartridges. How do I override this. You honestly don't believe that I **** going to run out and buy new cartridges. I will run out and buy a different printer. Never again Epson
You cannot override the cartridge acceptance issue on the Epson WF-2930 after a firmware update if you are using non-Epson or altered Epson cartridges. The printer is designed to work only with genuine Epson-branded cartridges, and firmware updates may prevent third-party or altered cartridges from functioning.

WHY DOES IT PRINT A BLANK PAGE AFTER I PUT IN NEW CARTRIDGES
The Epson WF-2930 may print a blank page after installing new cartridges because some ink remains in replaced cartridges, and the printer may need time to charge the new ink. Also, if the print head nozzles are dry or clogged due to cartridge removal delays or improper installation, this can cause blank prints. Running a nozzle check and cleaning the print head can resolve the issue.

PRINTER SAID IT NEED NEW COLOR CARTRIDGES - INSTALL NEW ONES BUT WHEN I WANTED TO PRINT SOMETHING THE PAGE CAME OUT BLANK
The Epson WF-2930 may be printing blank pages after installing new color cartridges due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. The printhead nozzles may be clogged. Run a nozzle check and clean the printhead if needed.
2. The ink cartridges may not be installed correctly. Ensure each cartridge is securely locked in place with a click sound.
3. The protective seals on the new cartridges may not have been fully removed. Check and remove any remaining seals.
4. Non-genuine Epson cartridges may have been used. The printer is designed to work only with genuine Epson-branded cartridges; third-party cartridges may not function correctly.
5. The printer may need time to initialize the new cartridges. After installation, pressing the start button begins initialization.
Try checking and correcting these issues to resolve the blank page problem.
