Epson Stylus Pro 3800 InkJet Printer Questions & Answers
Epson 3800. Service call error 1600. Help?
I had my 3800 stop with the 1600 error code, and after trying several things, I did hit on one thing that worked for me. I unplugged the printer without turning it off, let it set a minute or so, and then reconnected and turned it on. That worked for me and I am now printing again. Just turning off the printer did not work; I assume it stores the error and reloads it when turned on again. Pulling the plug did not give it a chance to store any info.
I should note that I did have to go back and find the printer, and connect it to the network however (Windows 7).

Some colors do not print and cleaning has not helped.
The Maint tools for cleaning print head can only deal with minor blockages & use a lot of ink. Epson Express Centres are equipped with specialist software that will pump at a higher pressure. But first the ink block has to be softened. Soak the print head in Isopropyl Alcohol or similar. I use a syringe fitted with a small bore plastic tube that I push onto the nozzle that pierces the ink cartridge. A small squeeze of the syringe will provide enough pressure to soak the jet. Keep syringe attached for a few hours then try the cleaning test again a few times
