Purchased printer in July 2007. Soon learned it didn't work well with the Windows Vista. However, after about four months my son found someone that told him what he had to download so it worked. It worked fine - even through a move for about three months. Then, while rearranging my work area they perhaps hit something that locked the carriage so it won't work at all. Someone has told me to push the red button to unlock that feature that Lexmark puts on their printers as a safety thing when they are moved. I have hunted high and low for that red button and failed to find it. We are hoping someone can tell us what or how we can unlock this mechanism.
Thank you, sincerely Winnie Sinz. My email address is [email protected].
There was a scanner lock on the X73 model, but that was years and years ago. No other magic red button has been on Lexmark printers since. With the power off, can you move the carriage freely or is something physically blocking it?

This means that your Epson printer has come to its end of life. In short, Epson wants you to retire your printer and buy a new one. Your Epson printer may be in good shape which is often the case. But Epson has this build-in "feature" which they want you to buy a new one.
