Epson STYLUS R230 InkJet Photo Printer Questions & Answers
Epson Stylus R230 Magenta and Light Magenta Not working
try a head clean , you will find the head clean program in .. click open the start bar/go to control panel / open devices and printers/ look for your printer ( epson ) and now RIGHT click on your printer and go down to properties/look for the tab "maintenance" run the head cleaner ( you might have to do it a few times )
My epsonr230x cartridge is moving abnormally. it moves and hurts right side inside the printer. pls solution...
Epson printers have a lock to keep the print heads/carts over on the right side. The lock can get stuck and covered in ink. There is a lever under the edge of the heads that should unlock the carriage so you can get to the "cleaning station" under the heads. Unplug the printer while the heads are moving, and you may be able to move them over and clean. Often the bar the heads run on can be lubricated with light oil, like what you use on a sewing machine, too.
How to solve my print color problem
Assuming that you have ink for any color, the problem can either be clogged print-head or an electronic (board) failure no longer controlling a color/colors.
The linked procedure may help:
Hi, My Epson Stylus R230 light magenta ink not working.
Hi i'm a printer Technician
The problem of your printer could be that the surface of the printhead is dirty, and the Cleaning pad/tab doesn't work so good..
Here's a guide i wrote that I done multiple times on my customers printers:
1. Power on the printer, and when the carriage moves from the right to the left side instantly disconnect the power cord.
2. Move the Printer carriage (where the cartridges are installed) on the EXTREME LEFT side, please do it very slowly!
3. Take a syringe of hot water but not boiling, MAX. 70-75 °C
4. Expect the extreme right side of the printhead.. You could be able to see a little squared pad, dirty of ink, and on the left side of that PAD you could see a little rubber strip.
5. Take a tissue of paper and dab the furface of the Cleaner Pad (The squared pad you seen)
6. Take a new tissue of paper and place on it some hot water
7. Without burning your hands try to clean as soon as possible the rubber strip on the right part of the Pad.
It would be completely without ink on it
8. Take the hot water syringe and place some hot water on the Cleaner Pad (the amount of water is proportionate to the printer, you have to place water until you see that the surface of the pad is COMPLETELY full of water.
9. Gently move the carriage VERY SLOWLY on the extreme right side of the printer (where there's the Cleaning Pad)
10. Leave the printer like so for 3-5 hours, then restart the printer and do 2-3 cleaning cycles, better with a brand new black cartridge
11. Do a test print (Nozzle Check) and see if there are some changes!
Hope the Best!!

R230 epson color
The cartridge head may have gotten clogged. Take the cartridge out and clean the head with a damp cloth and print a couple of pages to set this right.
Also, print a test page to make sure the ink hasn't dried up. If it has, you will have to get a new cartridge.
