I purchased what they said was compatible to the Epson Stylus CX5400 on the internet. When I got them, I put them in and a message read on printer screen that these were not the genuine epson stylus cx5400 inkjets. So, I tried to make a copy of something(its an copier, printer and scanner) and there was nothing on the page. Help?

I had the CX5400 and it worked great. The bad thing about Epson printers is that it ONLY works with their ink. Something about their darn ink cartridges (dura-ink) that it's hard others to duplicate. I've tried the cheap brands (from inkjets.com) and the quality was bad. The ink would run off and it would not installed correctly to the nozzles. Go to Costco if you're a member and buy the whole Epson combo pack, instead of single packs. It's a lot cheaper, about $30 bucks less (IT'S NO JOKE).

If I was you, I would get my old cartridge and keep it. Then go to the store and get a cartridge refill kit. I use it all the time and it really works. Just inject the new ink into the old cartridge and BAM!! you can now use it again and again. You would save a lot of $$$$ too. But some people are lazy when it comes to refills. Either way, you should be able to use compatible ink-jet cartridges and most printers list the ones that are....
