Epson stylus color 880 printer has a paper jam. It printed color in area with no paper, so to get ink out, I fed in a paper towel. Now the towel is stuck and torn remnants cannot be reached from above. How do I get these out? Thanks

    I did something similar in that I used a long steel feeler gage and was able to clear out the problem. Now I have another one. I believe this Epson has the ink jet nozzles in the machine, not the cartridge. I believe I may have damaged the black ink ones in that only a thin black trace in one line shows. The color ones still seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks

OK this takes a bit of technique and bravery. You need a stiff piece of card such as the backing from an A4 notepad or similar. Turn the printer off and insert the card into the paper feed. You will need to align it with the pick-up roller and push it through quite hard to overcome the spring pressure. It will push out the bits of towel so open the cover and fish them out. Feed the card all the way through and out of the cover. Always try to remove paper jams in the direction of paper feed.

Hope this helps, please take a moment to rate this solution. Thanks.

Epson Stylus Color 880 printer problem

from Kradinsky "Turn the printer on while holding down both the ink and paper buttons. When the paper light flashes release both buttons", then hold down the ink button for approx. half a minute until the printer lights flash again then release it. That resets the printer.”

Epson stylus color 880

This is a very late response to your query, but you did have it in the C46 section. It sounds like you have blocked heads but there could be other reasons such as a faulty print head or main board. If you still require help with this problem, please post a new comment to this effect.
