I get the "cartridge not recognized" error for all 4 colors on refillable cartridges on my Epson WF-2530.
I bought a WIC firmware downgrade key and successfully downgraded from LD05DC to LD11CC. The error remains the same. I have tried EVERYTHING on the web to remedy this: power down, reinsert the old Epson cartridges, reinsert the new refillable cartridges one at a time, all at once, turn off Epson Status Monitor, all to no avail.
Is there any way to make the 2530 chipless??
I'm hoping there is a solution. My cartridges and ink are from cube1113, they seem like good quality. I liked this printer just fine until it stopped recognizing aftermarket cartridges.

No, I did not upgrade. You can always upgrade for free from Epson's site. I paid to downgrade, in hopes that an earlier firmware would let me use 3rd party cartridges.
I started with: firmware version LD05DC (05/12/2013).
I bought your software to downgrade to: LD11CC (11/12/2012) in service mode.
So I did a downgrade.
Except the printer still won't accept 3rd party cartridges as it has previously. Since you don't offer an earlier firmware, and I can't find one, that's the end of the road.
Hence my next question - can I get my $20 back, since the firmware downgrade didn't work?
I'm happy to pay for a chipless solution for WF-2530. I'd rather use this printer than buy a new one that accepts refillables.
