Red light flashing, keep reloading paper but when I try to print it keeps whirring and coming up with the error paper not loaded correctly. I have checked and it seems to be loaded right. Ive had the printer for a few years and cannot see what the problem can be. Havent had any paper jams, plenty of ink left. Last used about 2 weeks ago.

"c48 not loading..."
Check that paper is not curled at leading edge.
Some printers are finicky about exact straightness.
Otherwise check:
Paper not glossy - roller-gripper may be doing a 'wheelie' on the edge.
Rubber gripper not worn down - the pickup roller usually has one or more rubber 'rings' around the roller to grab & feed paper by friction.
If all else fails, open cover and inspect gearing to roller, broken brackets which can cause misalignment.
Try running 'open' and see what happens.

Clive.
SOURCE: THE GREEN AND RED LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING ON MY EPSON C48
The C48 firmware counts the number f dribbles sent to a waste ink area somewhere in the printer. The printer dribbles every time it’s powered up and when the heads are cleaned. When the counter reaches 8300 the printer stops working.
A utility at http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml will reset the ink counter to zero. Cycle the printer power that’s it! easy peasy. Take care though.. the ink thingy might overflow onto the carpet one day…..
NB. I don’t think that this utility runs under Vista.

I can tell you how to fix this if anyone is interested - report back if so.
SOURCE: epson stylus C43UX. my printer keeps saying paper
The printer reports a paper jam because the paper feed system cannot feed paper.
Look down into the place where the paper goes (the "automatic sheet feeder" or ASF) and you should see a fat wheel with a grey ribbed rubber facing. Place a single sheet of paper in the ASF and do a test print (right click the printer icon and select properties). Watch to see what happens in the ASF. The plastic panel behind the sheet of paper should move forward to push the sheet against the rotating rubber wheel, which should then feed the paper into the print position. This is presumably not happening! Can you what does happen?
If the expected movements are not happening, you need to remove the printer top cover to see what the problem is and resolve it - perhaps the ASF has come loose or something. This is easy if you know how to do it - otherwise it's likely to cause you to take a large hammer to the task! If you need help on this, please report back with a new post.
