TbirdX Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Won't print is a bit vague. Exactly what happens? Do any lights on the printer flash? Can you see the printer in from the computer and can you run any test print or diagnostics program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 yeah it goes through the process of printin but only vaguely prints some yellow but you've to look hard to see it, the printer won't scan either, I've done the nozzle and head checks but still nothin !

Lord Geordie Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I stopped buying Epson due to head blockages. The HP printers carts have the heads built in so you get new heads with each cart. More I know but in the long term cheaper.thsn having to replace my.printer.

TbirdX Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Still blocked jets by the sounds of it. I'm having the same sort of problem with the magenta cart in my epson. I've flushed it through and it's better but it still plays up from time to time. Needs some proper solvent stuffing through it really.

The Ghost Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 It is blocked ink jets, ink goes hard so clean...clean....clean....until it unblocks it will take some time if it has not been used for a while. The only other thing could be you have got some duff inks that may have been stored incorrectly....but unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
