Try unplugging the printer for a few hours, or a day, and then replug.
This is usually caused by a scrambled EPPROM or RAM, and the firmware
needs to reset.

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by Dave[_40_]
I bought the EpsonPhoto R265 about a year ago, complete with a continuous
ink system and after some fiddle got it working. It worked OK except for
needing a lot of clean cycles for almost every use. I recently got a leak
in the Yellow cartridge and took it out to replace the rubber sealing
grommet. On putting it back the status monitor showed the yellow empty and
all the attempts to reset ...

OK, the next attempt is to make sure the cartridges or whatever is
supplying the monitor chip contacts are clean and properly seated so
that the contacts are correct.
However, you should be aware that the monitor chips have a limited
lifespan. They can only be rewritten to a limited number of times
before they will fail. You may just need new monitor chips.

I have tried the printer with a complete set of new cartidges which contain

I have cleaned the contacts and reseated them.

No, you're correct. I was speaking of the monitor chips that are found
on the cartridges. If they are new and you still are getting no
response, something else has gone wrong, and I am at a loss.
Did you upgrade any drivers for the printer recently? Epson has (with
some models) changed the codes on the monitor chips to try to confound
the 3rd party cartridge and CIS makers, and ...

No the drivers are the same as they have always been. I did see somewhere on
the web that some Epson printers need servicing of their Excess Ink Pads or
whatever they are called. This needs pads renewal and reset of the printer
by software, that I can't find for my particular printer. I'm actually
getting %£%% off with Epson. I resurrected an old Epson D88 that I had,
but having ...

You might want to read parts of my blog (address below) regarding what
the printer manufacturers are up to. They seem to be least interested
in anything regarding lessening waste.
When your Epson printer reaches its "waste ink pad protection number" it
usually doesn't indicate the problem you mention, but instead indicates
"parts on your printer have reached their serviceable life ...
