    Unfortunately it is not enough to put European Firmware on Northamerican machine. I have tried that and it still wanted 822 cartricges instead of 405 for Europe. So I rolled back to American older Firmware from this link https://dl.resetprinters.net/index.php?act=dl&id=7071&hash=1628480254460#google_vignette   which allowed me to use thrid party 822 cartridges.However, you need to change the chip every time they are empty, and the chips cost about 27$ per set or 10$ individual at Aliexpress.com plus shipping from China and customs duty.

    Some more, When you do the screen cover turn on method described above, after 20 seconds a white writing Update mode appears, however, if you keep holding 10 more seconds after the power light came on, a red wrting appears for IPL Update mode. I could not do anything with it, trying to run the European firmware updater mentioned above. Error shows File not found. and all buttons flash. I then covered the Speaker button (touchscreen buttons!) for 10 seconds and it showed the installed ROM Versions. Like I said, I was not able to change anything, but maybe it helps the tech guys form inkchip.net  to know that there is a second level Updater. (If that solves the problems they seem to have, I would appreciate getting the chipless for free 😉

    The european firmware is here, but it does not change the required cartridge number to 405. And it is a relative new version, so might look to Epson original.

    I changed the firmware several times via USB cable and putting th e printer into Firmware mode by holding thumb on upper right corner of display, kind of diagonal from up down, covering about a square inch including black fram around display area in upper right corner.
