end of it service = the printer has an expected number of pages it can print, beyond that the printer will start to fail out of old age and wear. Both printers have reached that limit, nothing more that can be done to revive them. Junk them and buy new ones.

what? you expect me to give you an answer to my own problem for nothing while you want to charge me $20 for "maybe" some help to resolve my printer issue? You've got to be kidding! What a "chintzy" way to make a buck!

The cleaning unit may still be engaged with the cartridge carriage. There may be a release mechanism on the side of the cleaning unit. The cover will have to be removed to see if that is the case. Another cause could be that the shaft or rail that the carriage travels on is quite dirty. It can be cleaned with alcohol to remove the dirt. That might be what is loading down the motor. Good Luck.

Paper is loaded for printing, but the CD/DVD tray guide is open.If you want to print on paper, close the CD/DVD tray guide. If you want to print on a CD or DVD, remove the paper from the sheet feeder.

Same problem here. I found out that the problem is the waste ink pad needs to be replaced and I can't find one anywhere. Then after that is done, you have to use a utility software that is availabe only for PC and I a Mac user. I have a PC I can run it on luckily, but too bad for those who don't. Problem now is, I haven't found the software that supports the 1400. Sounds like sabotage by Epson to force us to buy another printer. If so, I'll switch to HP.

Hi Sharon, This may be an error. Shutdown the computer and re-seat cartridges to be sure they are connecting to the cartridge carriages properly. Once cartridge replacement procedure completes, close all the access panels. Now shut off the power to the printer by unplugging it or by turning off the power bar it's plugged into. Don't use the printer's power switch! Now, plug the printer back in. Reboot your computer. And then, turn on the printer and let it complete the initialization process. Hope it will help.

Hi this can mean number of things, but most likely your 'waste ink' tank is full. You need to either get the printer serviced or reset the ink counter. You can find more information and link to a reset utility here: http://inkbank.com.au/webcontent22.htm good luck!

JUST DO THE GENERAL SERVICE CLEAN THE SENSORS THE ERROR WILL CLEAR.

THERE'S NO PAPER ADJUSTMENT LEVER ON THESE PRINTER,THE OPTION MEDIA PAPER ARE GIVEN THERE EITHER PLAIN,PHOTO,MATTE.

TRY TO CLEAN THE CHIP ON THE CATRIDGE AND REINSTALL IT AGAIN,CHECK THE PIN IN THE CARRIAGE IF ALL ARE O.K

Turn on printer, and unplug power chord while the carriage moving. Then move carriage by hand freely.

If the lines are vertical to the direction of the printhead movement, you need to clean the paper rollers and the small "pizza wheels" of your printer. Also check for any traces of stuck paper in the paper path. I recon you ars not using genuine inks, right? Try to slow down your print speed by selecting a best quality setting. If the lines are parallel to the printhead movement, your printhead is either clogged our stuck.

Check for any small paper jam. Check the rollers, also use an alcohol swab to clean the rollers and check for ink leaking. Check you ink pad, it could be time for a new one.

again how do i unblock the ink jets

The problem can be two fold. Wrong cartridges, or blocked/damaged inkjet openings. Return it to the seller under warranty if its brand new. If it was fitted with non epson cartridges your warranty may be in question.

But I could almost guarantee the black qand the blue cartridges are faulty or their feed jets are

Hi there
You can try see if this may do it.

Go to Start / Run and type in "services.msc" without quotation marks, then press Enter or click OK.

In the window that opens (Services) look for "Print Spooler" on the right

Right-click "Print Spooler" and select "Properties".

Click on the "Recovery" tab and change all 3 drop-down boxes to "Restart The Service".

Make sure the 2 text boxes underneath say "1" in them.

Click Ok until you are back at the Services window, close it and you're good to go.

Go back into the properties of the "Print Spooler" tab and be sure to click Start to restart the Print Spooler service and it will restart the service immediately.

The Print spooler depends on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. Is this service disabled? Go to services.msc look for RPC. Check state: Automatic

download the driver from epson.For example I downloaded epson375130eu for a stylus dx4450.then right click on the downloaded file and select "solve compatibility problems", select fix the program, select program was working with previous windows versions, select xp.you should be able to have the ink levels. At least it worked for my dx4450

Borderless print ?Set custom page as exactly paper size. Set borderless expansion to max. Select appropriate paper media type.

I'm guessing you may have tried these already but in case you haven't

1. Try a different compatible power cable, preferably one that is known to work already
2. Test the power socket with a known working device to ensure the socket works

It's entirely possible the problem isn't the power supply but the power button on the printer so some basic disassembly to access the button panel may identify something like a slipped wire or ribbon cable.I wouldn't recommend disassembly to remove and check the power supply/transformer itself as they invariably contain capacitors which you should never mess with.Hope that's of some help.
