    go to printer settings and un check ink status monitor ' or ink level monitor, am not sure of the exact wording, but you can un check this and you will be able to print til the last and final drop., but you wont be able to tell when you run out, so always have a back up cartridge. however, the chip resetter does not always work.

    Re: epson wf2540

    go to your pirnter settings, in the window of options you should have 'ink status monitor' or ink monitor or something similar. un check this option this will remove the status monitor and you should be able to print with no issues til the last drop. Dont Ask Epson, as they will try to sell you more ink. the ink is there, just gets over monitored.

    in the printer setting of your printer preferences, go to the tab that has 'ink status monitor' or similar. select 'do not monitor' or un check this selection. and you will be able to print til the last drop of ink.It wont be long when Epson will have this option removed, then you are up the creek with no paddle

    Re the ink empty syndrome

    well well cant agree more, they get rich in the Bahamas they say, and we pay for it. Beat them at their own game. de activate the Epson printer monitoring for ink levels and you can print til the cows come home, or buy a chip re setter for 9 bucks. Believe me, the de activation works wonders, I don't have the steps here, but google 'how to de activate epson ink monitoring' and you will save tons of cash

    epson sucks with ink scam

    no no, it is the case wit a lot of them, the new generation chip tanks are meant to give a false reading. so you go out and get sucked in. buy a chip re-setter from amazon and you can re set them several times before you are really dry.

    setting it on fire

    cool your jets, no need for French either. but I had an issue with the ink showing as empty. and bout a 9 dollar 'chip re setter on amazon and was able to use the cartridge to the virtual last drop. but I hear. from Staples, the cheaper printers and their cartridges are money traps. the more exp and the hi cap ink are better. see back of the ink pack.
    from one you get 120-200 pages from the more exp one you get 4-5 times as much.....gut feeling is they suck

    Ink is a bank job

    Printers are updated faster than the ink dries, then they make the ink obsolete, and refuse to buy it back. they scam you and rip you off. the customer support lacks skill. all they want is money and your blood. One day they will pay back but for now we are all suckers.
