I have tried all the printer hacks I found on TH-cam. This is the only one that actually worked. I even called Epson. Their solution was to install only Epson ink. I believe this update allowed the printer to use only Epson ink. Thank you Charlie Cabreros
Hi, My printer had the same issue after updating the firmware. After following your instruction, it works again!! You saved my life, thank you for the video!!!!
yo dude.... my wife hit the update firmware button the printer thinking that it was right... your video SAVED my ass on having to buy the overpriced carts.. thanks so much my man!!
This has been a nightmare trying to figure out. I was just at the point where I was going to throw this printer in the trash when I saw your video. Thank you!!
Hello, I followed all the steps but it still doesn't work, I don't know if the update configuration is applied but when I tried again I got an error in updating, I need help with that problem :(
Did not work for me - but perhaps because a year has passed since the original post. Maybe the .exe file has changed. My Epson 2930 is stuck with alarm.
Didn't work for me. Still get the error although all went through as with you. This is a U.S. model using the 212 ink cartridges. Since I am in Germany, I have a hard time getting this cartridge and am trying to use the EU ink 603 cartridge. Any ideas, maybe a different firmware update? Tks.
I have spent a great amount of time trying to find the folder that will clear the ROM. I have the printer in the mode, and I have it connected with USB to my computer. BUT, I have searched in every direction for the folder you use with no success. I have copied the file name (EPFWUPD.exe) and done a search, but it does not appear to be on my computer. I do have a firmware installer, but it will only let me check for new updates and choose to install them or not. Very frustrated, and really need some assistance on this. The folks at Epson were of no assistance -- just said to buy their ink :(
I am trying to download the EPFWUPD.exe file, but I get popup stating Could not find files needed to start. I need help restoring my Epson back to factory settings and do not want to by their damn expensive ink. Can you please help me? I am stuck on what to do.
Sorry to hear that, but did you try to redownload it? Try disable antivirus or search online for old firmware then follow the same steps mentioned, let me know if still not working.
Very strange for me... I followed all the exact same instructions. Step by step, every button, each screen was the same, same model. However ink still showed as not compatible. Is this a 3rd party chipless firmware update by chance?
@@charliecabreros8158 Turns out it was the cartridge I think, I had ordered two packs and after much trial, decided to try a cartridge from the second order pack and it worked. Thanks!

Well done. Update the firmware as instructed worked. Epson should be ashamed of themselves. Faught this printer for hours before finding this fix.

Did you fix it? Could you help me
Mr. Caberros - thank you! We were banging our heads against the wall.
This has been a nightmare trying to figure out. I was just at the point where I was going to throw this printer in the trash when I saw your video. Thank you!!
Thank you for the video Charlie worked like a champ after following your instructions.
Worked like a charm, I'm using 3'rd party ink was working before till i did a update, but after downgrading its back.
Thank you!!! I was so outraged and then desperate when i found out my cartridge were not recognized again. Srsly shame on Epson

Can I use the above link for an Epson WF 2950 printer?
Any chance you have the firmware downgrade for the Epson WF-2950?
Did not work for me - but perhaps because a year has passed since the original post. Maybe the .exe file has changed. My Epson 2930 is stuck with alarm.
can we use this method for tx 700w printer
Would this work for an WF7310?
My Epson ET 2400 will not let me refill blue ink ink just sits at the top and will start to spill over any suggestions?
Where do I find the file for another model, specifically the 7310?
OK. I get to screen from link, but it only lets me copy the file name EPFWUPD.exe. It doesn't open or load? What am I doing wrong?
Didn't work for me. Still get the error although all went through as with you. This is a U.S. model using the 212 ink cartridges. Since I am in Germany, I have a hard time getting this cartridge and am trying to use the EU ink 603 cartridge. Any ideas, maybe a different firmware update? Tks.

Did you download the link I mentioned on the description? Try to download other firmware version online.
