What does it mean when my Epson printer status says 'Ink Low' or 'Ink Empty,' even though I recently replaced the cartridges?

This could indicate a few things. First, ensure you've installed genuine Epson cartridges. Non-genuine cartridges might not be properly recognized. Second, the printer's ink counter might not have reset correctly. You can usually reset the ink levels through the printer's control panel or the Epson printer software. Consult your printer manual for specific instructions on ink level reset procedures. Sometimes, even genuine cartridges can be defective, so consider trying a different new cartridge.
