20 Most Recent Epson Stylus CX3810 All-In-One InkJet Printer Questions & Answers

Sounds like you haven't pushed the cartridge completely into the slot. But watch you don't use too much force! ;P

it maybe an issue caused by a general error which probably needs hardware replacement. but you can try to resolve this by doing an inkpad reset. go to this site www.epson.com/ipr, fill out the needed things there and install it to your pc. just follow the wizard and hopefully it would reset the firmware but if it does not work. you might need to have that printer serviced.

It has to go to an Epson service centre.
It's cheaper to buy a new printer.

If paper doesn't feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Reload it against the right edge, behind the tabs, then slide the left edge guide against the paper. Make sure the paper is not in front of the feeder guard.

If multiple pages feed at once, remove the paper from the sheet feeder, fan the edges to separate the sheets, then reload it.

Don't load too many sheets at once (up to 20 sheets of photo paper, 80 sheets of Premium Bright White paper, or 100 sheets of plain paper).

Hi Good day!! check your ink cartridge maybe it is not properly inserted..

This is the only advice I can give you.

The next step would be to disassemble the Epson, and clean the Pads/Heads. Click on link below.:

I located a page on http://www.fixyourownprinter.com forum, which had plenty of details about similar issues.

If you find this helpful, pls rate me.

Thanks and Good Luck :0)

This can happen to cartridges with attached print heads. All cartridges are weighed and tested before leaving the factory so lack of ink isn't the problem. It usually has to do with the print head of the cartridge not having any ink to feed it. This happens because cartridges are kept flat or upside down for weeks or months before being used and the ink settles away from the print head. The easiest remedy is to open the box and stand the cartridge upright for a few minutes before using. Then get a damp paper towel, fold it into quarters and sit the cartridge print head down onto it. Hold the cartridge down to the damp paper towel for three minutes. This will help pull the ink out of the print heads, priming them and getting them ready to print. Finally, install the cartridge into your printer and print a few test pages.

This was a long time ago but I hope you havent bought a new printer

You were right to think about uninstalling the printer, but you will have to follow the EPSON instruction to do it completely. I had a similar problem with mine.

Go here:

try www.epson.com

try unpluging your printer and reinstalling

Do the other ink cartridges need to be replaced? According to Epson all ink needs to be replaced at the same time.

since I cant see your printer. please follow these steps.

Go to www.epson.com. Click on the support link, lookup your specific printer model # and select the operating system you are running. A list of all available software/drivers will appear. Download and install and you will be all set. Hope this helps.

I have taken a piece of cardboard, like the ones you get with a new shirt, size it to 8.5 x 11, and tell the printer to print a test page. hand feed the cardboard thru, and most times it will clean out the residual paper pieces stuck in the internal rollers. I have used this method several times and was successful 99% of the time. It isn't rocket science, but It may work. You will probably have to push the cardboard thru, but do not force it to much. It will not go thru easily on its own. Just a suggestion.

My Epson 3810 does not print proberly from the Internet. It prints but only prints out what appears to be the computer language being sent to it. All other applications print fine. Just items from Internet explorer are having the issues. Any suggestions?
