How do you remove printer heads on cx3200 - Epson Stylus CX3200 All-In-One InkJet Printer

look for anything jamming the print head, then try lubricating the bar the print head runs on. power off then gently move the head left to right so spread the oil. hope this helps

If you are brave I had the same problem. I removed my ink disconnected the data ribbon to the Head. Took off the nozzles. I used a child's med. syringe with the tube. Filled it will rubbing alcohol. placed the tube on the head where the ink cartage attaches and slowly put pressure on the syringe. Be care full it will flush the black ink everywhere. I kept doing this till the black was all flushed out. Put it back together. make sure you put the ribbons back in the right way. Mine works great.

Make sure the print head nozzles are not clogged. You may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.

When you don't turn on your EPSON CX3200 for a long time, the print quality can decline. It's a good idea to turn on your EPSON CX3200 at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

1. Make sure the EPSON CX3200 is turned on but not printing, and the Error light is off.
If the Error light is flashing or on, you may need to replace an ink cartridge.
2. Press the left Menu button on the control panel several times until you see Cleaning and then press the Copy button.
Cleaning takes about 30 seconds, during which the EPSON CX3200 makes some noise and the Operate light flashes. Never turn off the EPSON CX3200 while the Operate light is flashing, unless the EPSON CX3200 hasn't moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes. setViewedFAQCookie(14082, 31605);

Check there is no foreign objects in the way of the print head. Check the encoder strip is clean and in tact. Ensure the print head can both leave and return to the home position easily. Check that the head lock is retracting when power is turned on.

talk to your vendor.your printer might be in waranty

If using XP or Vista:

Go under Control Panel -> Printers -> Right Click on printer preferences and choose option to service/clean print heads.

After that print test page.

If still not right suggest new printer due to cost of repairing.

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Then either the cartridge is faulty (quite likely if it is a refilled compatible) or the head has a fault.

Try another new genuine cart and expect the problem will clear.

You need to start by cleaning the head from the underside. This rescue kit has a good cleaning guide as well as loads of other useful info and functions.

Need more info. than this. What exactly is the issue - is the printer feeding paper? Is the ink not printing etc.
