My epson stylus nx415 printer will not recognize black ink cartridges. I tried to use compatible ink cartridges, and my printer did not recognize the black one, so I bought the proper epson ink cartridge and my printer is not recognizing that either.

SOURCE: epson nx415 printer, will not

Every EPSON Printer has a preferences or maintenance part to do what you want to solve its ink problems. Check it out and do some maintenance with regards to ink problems. Use your mouse pointing to Printer icon and right click on it and there you will find out the properties/references/maintenance to solve the ink problems. Good luck!

Sounds like you have either a defective cartridge but if both cartridges are not being recognized it's likely a problem with the printer.
Take it back to the store you bought it from for a refund or replacement.

SOURCE: Epson Stylus SX400 "Ink cartridges cannot be recognized"

Try this: First check which cartridge(s) are not being recognized. In my case where I replaced all three color cartridges, two were recognized right away but one was not. You find out by sending a print request to the printer and looking at the ink cartridge levels diagram in the dialog window. In my case two of three were fine but one had a red X on it. So I removed it and cleaned the contacts with alcohol then rocked it in the slot after pressing it in. It was recognized and the charging process began as normal.

SOURCE: Epson Stylus NX415 does not

Epson Printers are sensitive in terms of Ink Cartridges.. The latest Epson Printers does not have ink reseter.. Ink reseter are already built-in on the ink cartridges.. The problem on this printer is when you have a cartridge on your printer, let say, 30% of the ink level, even though your ink is new, and you change it without using the right ink replacement method, it will recognize your ink as a 30% ink level. When your ink level drops to 0%, but you have remaining 70% of the ink, it does not recognize it anymore. The chip on the ink cartridge is already registered as an empty cartridge.

Epson Stylus NX415 alignment is WAY off

Unfortunately, no. This can be done by service centres within your area or if it's covered by the warranty then you can give Epson a ring

BOUGHT NEW CARTRIGE FOR MY NX 415 AND THEY AREN;T REGOGNIZED!

If the cartridge is not the same code as the previous used by the printer, then it will not be compatible. Your printer has been replaced by Epson Stylus NX415 All-in-One
  • One 69 Black Ink cartridge (T069120)
  • One 69 Cyan Ink cartridge (T069220)
  • One 69 Magenta Ink cartridge (T069320)
  • One 69 Yellow Ink cartridge (T069420)

  • Therefore, ensure that the catridge follows the above code (69).
    Best regards.

    My Epson NX415 does not recognize refilled and reset cartridges. What can I do about it?

    Don't let your ink levels drop below 25% before refilling and resetting your cartridges. There is an inner and an outer chip on these cartridges. The inner chip disables the outer chip when it's contacts are no longer bathed in ink. So, it doesn't matter if you "reset" the outer chip after refilling your empty cartridge because the chip was disabled. I'm really curious how you refilled these cartridges yourself without souring yourself on refilling from the experience. I own a Cartridge World ink refilling store and I refilled a set of these cartridges when we had replacement chips available (we don't now because our chip distributor was violating Epson patents) and it was an absolute mess, took forever, and the cartridges still didn't work in our test printer.
