[QUOTE="wlc_commpilot, post: 218878, member: 17017"] I've had the WF-4740 for about 2-1/2 hrs, and about 1 month ago ran into this 100016 error issue. Scanning was of course inoperative, but in the error-code state the printer was also reporting as 'busy/occupied' so that I couldn't print. I tried everything scraped from online posts (thorough driver removal & reinstall with updated drivers; off/on cycle; restart with ink cartridge removed; restart with paper cassette removed). None of these interventions helped - the printer continued to deliver the error code after anywhere from 0 min to 2hrs of functional stability. I had been using 3rd party OEM ink cartridges for >2 yrs. About 2 weeks ago, in the midst of this issue, I happened across a set of 'genuine' Epson inkjet cartridges and snapped-in a BLK, YLW and MGT to replace OEM cartridges that were nearly exhausted. The printer has been stable for both printing and scanning every since - not one incident of error and lockup for over 3 weeks now, despite steady use for both. Just a correlation? ... maybe. But the fact is I have a fully functional unit now (therefore not a standing hardware issue), and that functionality was *not* defined by printer driver updates, nor any other on/off recycling. I'm beginning to suspect some kind of aberrant cross-talk between the printer firmware and the identity chip of the OEM ink cartridges as one explanation. But if you're firmeware is up to date, and you're using 'genuine' Epson ink cartridges, then this isn't your issue. [/QUOTE]
