Chosen Solution

I really have a Epson WF-4740 - sorry, not a choice on the program. Anyway why do I have to now buy new color cartridges when I don’t print in color but only B&W? Is his some sinister way of making money?

Yes it is…. https://epson.com/faq/SPT_SP7900CTP~faq-… It seems like milk and many other products these cartridges have an expiration date that happens whether or not you use the product.
