20 Most Recent Epson Stylus CX6600 All-In-One InkJet Printer - Page 2 Questions & Answers

By now you have probably figured out that it isn't going to work again. Unfortunately with all epsons and other printers where the printhead is not on the cartridge if you let them sit for an extended time the ink dys up in the printhead and if 3 or 4 cleanings does not make it work it is not likely to ever work again.. My advise is to buy a printer where there are only 2 cartridges (1 black and 1 tricolor) make sure these have the printhead on the cartridge and then if they dry up in the printhead and can't be cleaned by your local cartridge refiller then the worst that can happen is you have to replace the cartridges and not the whole printer. Alternative to that buy a laser printer where the toner cartridges never dry up.

this may help... Check that all the access doors and compartments are closed correctly. Check paper isn't jammed. Take out the all the ink cartilages and reset them in correctly Make sure the rollers are set in place correctly, (if there removable) Hope this helps a bit

I recently installed CUPS. At first everything looked good, the server started and i was able to add printers with the browser or KDE-Control center. I tried to add an Epson Stylus C86, which is connected at my USB Port. It really looked good too, cups automatically found the printer on the usb-port and suggested the right driver. I added it, configured it and tried to print a test page. The job was added correctly in the queue but nothing happened. it was just pending there. I took a look at the error log but there wasnt anything suspicious, so i set the logging level to debug and tried again. After reading through that (now very long) log again, i still wasnt able to find anything false or any error. Im a bit clueless now, no errors, smooth install and no signs of anything wrong.

Sounds like the waste tank is full, you will need to remove the waste ink somehow.

to reset the printer...

1. first turn off your printer
2. push the b/w + color + stop buttons together and hold
3. push the power on button and hold (so you'll now be holding down 4 buttons together)
4. Don't release all the buttons until you see the light indicator is blinking and then a message display on the lcd
5. release all the buttons
6. push the color button (once)
7. turn off the printer
8. turn it on again.

sounds like a bad ink carriage.

Usually just a dirty scan plate (the glass) just clean it with glass cleaner.

That message indicates that the porous waste ink pads inside your product are near the end of their service life. Epson recommends replacing the printer, but if you want to continue using it, I'd suggest having the printer serviced at an Epson Customer Care Center. You may also be able to have the ink pads replaced by an independent service provider and use the Ink Pad Reset Utility to reset the Ink Pad Counter to continue using the printer. However, replacement of ink pads is relatively expensive and may not be a good investment for lower cost printers because the printers' other components also may be near the end of usable life. Hope that helps!

There is no way- if the computer has NO available USB ports, buy s USB hub ( a multi outlet USB expander/extender cable). If the computer has no USB ports (outlets) AT ALL- it is ancient, but you might be able to install a USB expansion card into the computer and get external ports.
