Don't know if this thread is still alive, but I've got a WF2960, and have found the 3rd party cartridges from EZink (bought from Amazon) work just fine. Now, mind you, I did heed the warnings seen both on this group and other Web discussions, that opting-in for firmware updates allows Epson to...

I've grown to like this printer, despite the various fits it's given me (documented elsewhere in these pages), but I'm at the hair-tearing-out stage with this latest situation. To wit... This printer is running under Windows 10 Pro, and since my last posting with an issue, has been performing...

A quick FYI follow-up on this matter. I uninstalled everything Epson that I found in my list of installed programs, and was amazed by the number of what looked like incidental or add-on programs associated with this printer. I'm more used to HP printers that uninstall with a single click. But...

Thanks to you both. Yes, I'm a bit hesitant to turn off all Windows updates, although I do have a utility installed that keeps Microsoft from downloading and installing updates automatically; I like to see what they're foisting-off on me before embracing anything new. . Tony, there is a box to...

Don't know if this had anything to do with it, but following a Windows general update the printer icon in my Taskbar has disappeared and I can no longer pull up the Epson Utilities that show ink level, etc. The Fax Reception icon is there, but nothing for the printer... Task Manager /...

Okay, thanks for that info. Sets my mind a bit more at ease over the choice of the Epson.

I have a brand new WF-2960 that seems to be installed correctly and is communicating with my computer just fine. My question relates to ink usage, I am still on the cartridges that came with the printer. Previously I have printed just one or two pages, but today had a 10-page document to print...

I heard that European versions of this printer are more forgiving of the inks they consume. I suppose the only salvation would be to flash European firmware into a US printer, but that's scary. The OEM cartridges can be refilled easily enough, but from what I understand many new printers now...

Thanks, Hat. The subject seems somewhat academic now anyway. I've now tried two different third-party cartridges, claiming to be 'compatible' with my Epson WF-2960, but the printer refuses to recognize them, let alone accept and print. Fortunately I can send these back. I'm sure a workaround...

Hello to 'The Hat': Just stumbled across your welcome here while surfing the site, and wondered exactly what you meant by, "...you won't get the longevity...". Do you mean the ink runs out more quickly with third-party cartridges, or does non-OEM ink do damage to the printer? Thanks in...

Hello, a new member here with a first post, and counting on the experience among Epson users for guidance. First some background; skip to paragraph 5 for my actual question. I've been a longtime HP printer advocate, but am not impressed with their current offerings. After my 10-year-old HP...
