I'm trying to make sure my printer will work with this before I buy an activation key. I installed most recent chipless firmware (XP15000_FWG150TL_NW20I7_NW99Z9) and it succeeds. I can verify the firmware version NW2017 from the printer menu, and from the WIC Reset Utility. I only have the stock ink cartridges, so that is what I am testing prints with. With firmware NW2017 active, and stock print cartridges installed, I attempt a print. The very first attempt on a fresh firmware install results in about 2-3 inches of the photo (on a 13x19 sheet). All sub-sequent attempts result in either: -The paper being pulled through and the printhead running back and forth 5-10 times, but no ink being deposited, and the paper being rejected to the outfeed (blank), with Error# 031002 being displayed. or -No printer movement, and Error# 031002 being displayed, "Turn on the printer again. See your documentation for more details." (I could've sworn that I was getting Error# 031001 at times as well.) If I re-install the latest factory firmware (as of 12-18-2020) I am able to print flawlessly, over and over. Is this issue caused by my use of factory inks? (I assume no?) Is it because I have not applied an activation code? I don't want to spend $50+ on a code that will not do anything. Is this an issue that has been seen before? I read through a different thread about Error# 031002, but there was not a great deal of help there: https://forum.2manuals.com/index.php?/topic/80865-xp-15000-error-031002/ I'm happy to spend the money on the activation if I know it will work, or if I can get my money back in the case of it not working. Thank you for any help!

Epson 15000. At the middle of the updating, the utility said something like "firmware update confirmed" but at the end it said error, update did not complete and that I should retry. I did that with the same result. If it is actually updated per the message should I buy and try a chipless key? I don't want to do that if it can't work and I will have wasted my money. Printer screen now says "Cannot recognize ink cartridge". That was the problem at the beginning after the printer was updated by Epson.

I own an Epson xp-15000. After having accidentally upgraded to new firmware, I I followed instructions to downgrade with the License utility, paid US $50, and got it going. After printing 2 pages, the printer stops, telling me, that the Maintenance Box is at the end of its' service life, and refuses to print. I'm quite upset, as someone is constantly demanding more money. Is it just coincidence? The printer is only one year old.
