    I've have the same exact problem with my Epson R1800. Epson tech support tellls me it's a sensor and to try blowing compressed air into feed and exit area of the printer. I did that, but no go. ...I'm really dissapointed as the printer really hasn't been used that much, ...and it's too expensive to send back to Epson to reapair. An ink hog too with a set of cartridges running $140. Nozzle check, ...clean the heads, ...pump expensinve ink out to clear the nozzles, ...repeat, repeat, repeat. Goodbye to you Epson, you're pretty, but you're so fickle

    Epson support tells me it's a sensor in the printer. I tried air blasting the feed and output, but it didn't help. This $500 printer goes into the trash as it will be too expensive to ship and repair. This machine has amazing prints when it worked, but the ink useage and nozzle clogs are unacceptable, ...constantly pumping their expensive ink through the nozzles to clean them. Phooey on you Epson

It sounds like a driver issue. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the software on your computer?

My epson 710 artisan gives an error message that there is a paper jam or is out of paper, when I try to print a photo, it feeds through 2 blank 4*6 photo papers. There is NO paper jam when I check it, and...

Hello, Your printer makes a "grinding sound". This is usually due to two things:
1. A dirty printhead rail. It is either ink residue or dry. Try gently cleaning it with some water.
2. Paper pick up roller(s) not picking up. Clean them with a damp terry cloth towel or a multi-purpose cleaner.
If you have unable to fix it please contact me at 1800-204-4427. I can help you out.
Good luck!!

Epson Stylus Photo R350 giving a paper jam error message

An Epson service man (he was VERY kind to suggest this) told me to use a weak detergent solution on the rollers, NOT alcohol as that will dry out the material the rollers are made of. Although the problem has recurred a couple of times, it's worth repeating when necessary. I actually activate the 'print' command so it tries to feed in paper, while I FIRMLY hold a piece of fine cotton cloth stretched over a thin plastic ruler, which I hold down where the paper feed grabs its paper. The printer has a couple of tries to feed paper, reports an error message (because there was no paper) and I activate it again, thus exposing the WHOLE of the feed wheel to the cleansing cloth! WORTH A TRY!

Paper won't feed

My CX4800 developed the same problem. It was an excellent machine until then. I tried everything I could think of, and finally decided it must be the rather large feed in rollers at the right of the paper bin (one below and one above the paper) that had worn too smooth to pull the paper in. It works fine if I will give the sheet a "push" when it starts to go down - but who has time to stand there and push each piece in! It would really be nice if Epson would provide us with inexpensive replacement rollers and instructions for installing them. Guess they had rather we just buy a new printer - which I did, a CX7800, only to find that it will not take the heavy weight photo paper. :-(

Sorry I couldn't help more.
