Disable Automatic Firmware Updates on Epson Printers and avoid problems with your refillable cartridges or Continuous Ink Supply System.

From time to time, Epson releases new versions of their printers firmware. These updates often have no benefit to the end user and are simply done to combat the use of compatible cartridges and supplies by making them unrecognisable by the printer once the update has been installed.
