1. Get a damp paper towel.
2. Set the ink cartridge right side up on the damp paper towel so that the ink nozzles are against the towel and hold the cartridge in this position for about 15 seconds.
3. Now wipe the print head (on the bottom where the ink comes out) across in one direction only (left to right) until it looks clean.
4. Next dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure that the ink is flowing.
5. Snap the cartridges back into the printer.

Good Luck!!!!!

Hi

The printer driver is corrupted and needs to set up again the printer by adding new printer and set it as default printer. Then delete the old printer icon.

If not, uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it again and then set up again new printer.

Please let me know if you need more help

Try Downloading drivers from Epson.comalso what operating system are you using (ie windows xp?)

you need to press the feeding button for 10-15 seconds for the printerhead to park at the ink replacement position.then after that you can replace the cartridge that you need to replace

Run the self-cleaning process found in the printer's software. It should be called something along the lines of "Head Cleaner"

This may sound silly, but I have done this as well. New ink cartridges are shipped with "covers" that should be removed prior to installation. Please verify that these plastic covers have been removed. This is the most common cause of this problem. The covers look like transparent tape.

Update this with the results of your examination.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi, Here is the meaning of the flashing red light. Red paper light flashes Paper is jammed in the printer. Press the paper button to eject the paper. If that doesn't work, turn off the printer, open the cover, and pull the paper out from the front, including any torn pieces. Then turn on the printer, reload paper, and press the paper button. You can download the user's guide for this product from here. Good luck!
