In some examples, a fluid ejection device includes a nozzle to dispense fluid, and a recirculation controller to control recirculating of the nozzle. The recirculation controller is to receive, from a fluid ejection controller, an indication corresponding to a start of a sampling time interval, determine, during the sampling time interval, whether a firing event corresponding to firing of the nozzle has occurred, and in response to determining that the firing event has not occurred, cause activation of a recirculation pump to recirculate fluid through a chamber of the nozzle.
