Epson C60 inkjet Epson Printer Utility

try using some cleaning alchol on the ends of your cartridge it might help get the ink flowing

It's time to "cut your losses"; either the electronics that tells the inkjets when to shoot ink is screwy, or the inkjets are totally plugged, despite the "cleaning" cycles.

Responsibly recycle the printer, and buy a new printer.
Maybe, try to find another Epson that accepts the same ink-cartridges that you recently inserted into the old printer.

Hi Bill

Go to the C60 online manual at:

http://support.epson-europe.com/onlineguides/en/sc60/index.htm

and select How To, Maintenance, Cleaning the Print Head.

This explains very well how to clean the print head etc using either the printer software or the printer control panel, for both Windows and the Mac.

If you are running windows go to Control Panel, Printers, Select Printer Preferences and turn on either print in Grayscale or Print in Black only.

The driver for the Epson C60 printer is included with Vista - all you need to do is connect the printer to the computer with Vista running and turn it on. If you have already done this and the printer does not work properly (but see the info about the Status Monitor below), turn the printer off, uninstall the printer using the Control Panel-Programs and Features-Epson Printer Software, then reboot the computer. Once Vista is running, turn the printer on and it should then install OK.

HOWEVER, the printer Status Monitor (SM) is not included in this process and if you try to install the XP version of the SM, it will not work. Epson appears to have no intention of remedying this problem. This means you have no means of monitoring your ink levels, nor of changing the cartridges, cleaning the heads etc via the computer, although some of these tasks can be carried out via the printer control panel (see your hand book on how to do this).

A good solution is to use the free SSC utility as your SM - download from:

http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml

Install it, and double click the ssc printer icon in the bottom right corner (System Tray). Choose Configuration and set your printer type (C60), then close the ssc window. Now right click the ssc icon in the sytem tray and choose the SM function you wish to use.

If you have any further queries on this, please post a new comment.

If you still have this problem, please post a new comment, otherwise we will assume it's solved.

I have an Epson C60 and Vista has the neccessary drivers in box. When Vista is running just connect your C60 and it will do the rest.
I have so far had no problems. The only thing that I can see is missing is the option to preview via the printer software.

Sounds like print head issue; have it serviced or u can try this :
