My Epson tells me when an ink cartridge is low or empty, but won't move the ink holder into place when I open the lid and this prevents me from removing the old cartridge and putting the new one in. After over an hour of my life that I will never get back sitting on the phone with Epson printer support, this way works. I wish Epson would fix this flaw instead of wasting money on support after the fact. This will be my last Epson printer.

It worked. I didn't have to go further than 18 seconds into the video, paused the video, tried it, never saw the rest of the video. Thanks.

HA! After screaming at my Epson, this simplicity was astounding. I never thought I could do it manually LOL Well done and thanks so much !

This was fabulous! Thank you. My cartridges were not empty but dry so the printer wouldn't let me change them until you came along :)

Nice clear, brief instructions! Thank you!

Much Gratitude! You are the Best! Simple and to the Point!

Thank you, This helped me load the ink cartridge on my Epson WF 2850 printer. This printer is ridiculously complicated, not user friendly at all. Needs a manual just to operate it.

Thanks, makes it very easy to change cartridges.

Spot on. Simple, clear and brief. Thanks

Worked a treat, thank you! .:. Walts (Epson XP245)

Woop thank you so much for sharing ✨ it worked

Very useful technique!

Good advice thank you so much ! My printer was tricking me ,,no i could trick my printer 😉

This worked for me thank you so much (epson xp-2105)

THAT HELP ME A LOT THANKS.

Your last step on the tutorial should have been to re-plug the printer. Other than than, great tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you very much

Thank you

That is such a catfish I can’t just lift them out lol

Hello sir can iask for something..because my dcpl2540 brother not turning on.the user tell me that he heard cracking noise inside before the burn smell.. What is the problem of this printer...hopefully for your response thank you

What do I do now

Can you put a gooseneck lamp shining on the back side of the cartridges? They are in shadow. Thanks!

If your printer does not recognize the new cartridge, partially remove the cartridge and then place it back into place.

I putbin 4 new Epson 220 cartridges and the message on the screen says "Does not recodnize cartridge" I returned them to Office Depot andexchanged them and now get the same message.

I don't suppose there's a way to get the ink cartridges into the change position when there is an error message (the catridges remain tucked out of sight on the far right of the printer)...? I have an EPSON-344, and have just replaced the Y ink cartridge, which seemed to go as one would expect: I turned on the printer, which told me the Y cartridge needed replacing; I clicked 'OK' for the 'replace now' option; the ink cartridges moved to the change position; I removed the old cartridge and clipped the new one in place, and closed the lid; the printer message said 'charging' for a short while, then returned to the usual home screen, ready for printing. As soon as I sent a job to the printer, the 000041 error appeared on the screen. The error message appears as soon as the printer is switched on, and the only option available is to switch the printer off again. As soon as the printer is switched on again, the same error message appears. I wonder if there's a way to manually move the cartridges to the change position so that I can check the cartridges.

one catridridge my printer doesnt recognize.. i dont know what to do..

The ink cartridge when I put in back on moves rapidly and it says you need ink to proceed?????

Do I plug the printer back into the wall?

Good advice, but my printer says it doesn't recognise the ink cartige.

Oh the light is still on... Damn.

For sublimation do u use the ink that came with the machine or the ink that I bought seperate that says sublimation ink

Went from this video to how to clean printer ink from your skin

it would be good if manufacturers put a manual with printer, their excuse we're saving paper so why not use recycled paper like many other company.

Attention: this method does not succeed for Calidad replacement cartridge for Epson XP-100! need to go through the Epson correct procedure of changing cartridge, although being informed "Not the correct cartridge" works fine & MT warning light goes out.

Why would you need to do this when there is a standard method of changing cartridges? Manually moving the print heads like this is likely to damage the machine.

Epson definitely doesn't recommended doing it this way. Doing it through the maintenance menu under settings is what they recommend on many of their ink cartridge printers.

You didn’t say when to plug it in and turn it on

I replaced the ink cartridges and the machine still says "Replace ink cartridges."

Why don't you put which prunter...dave us time.. 😡

They didn't say to replace the power cord! Tch tch tch.
