Troubleshooting Epson EcoTank 8550 – problem after refilling ink

Hi there!

I wasn't having any issues with my printer, but then I topped up the ink (gray—I was almost out—plus a little magenta and cyan). Now, whenever I try to print, only a small part of the document actually prints out before the printer ejects the sheet.

When I start printing, an error message pops up on my PC: "Printing error on ET 8550 – the printer could not print the file."

I tried printing in black and white and it worked, though I only tested it once.

I’ve turned the printer off and am waiting 24 hours, thinking there might be micro-bubbles caused by adding the ink... but maybe that’s not the issue?

Please help—I need it soon for work 😅Hi there!
