Not printing I am having trouble with my printer actually printing. It will not print. It will copy but seems like it doesnt get the message from the computer. It doesnt say it is offline?

Hi and welcome to fixya
You can print black pages with the color cartage. HOW ? just when you select the size of the paper A4 then ther is an option of colored printing or black if you have ink in the color cartage then it can be done that you can print black pages with that cartage
thanks hope that will be helpful

i assume that everytime you try to print you get the same message. i sometimes get cartridge unrecognised on my epsom. I have to remove the cartridge, wipe the chip on the cartridge and reinsert.

If this doesnt work please specify printer model and if using original epsom cartridges.

when you say uyou copied the old printer over I assume you actually reinstalled the Printing Application from scratch?
You cannot just copy the seiko directry over, t doesnt load the .dll files

reinstall the application

Definitely you have a problem with the printer.
That will not prevent you from sending faxes out, but did you try to make a copy?

If the machine sat idle for some time, the ink in the jets would have dried, but this will not generate any error messages.

There are cleaning kits available, and they usually work.

see troubleshooting and routine maintenance in user guide.

you do not have the printer installed correctly, you need to go in control panel> Printers and click add printer

Try printing document thru your printer rather than Printscreen feature. Or Printscreen feature copies to clip board which you should be able to open and paste to new document then use your printer set up to adjust. Make sure your printer set up is set to scale to fit page.

Instead of pressing the start button to print, you need to press the small ON/OFF button. The start button works to copy/scan. But to print, you will need to turn the printer on first. Once the printer is on, the computer should recognize it fine and allow you to print from your applications.

If the error message is only "magenta/cyan low", it doesn't cause any error. The low message stays after replacing ink cartridges if they're replaced too early (before they're indicated as actually empty), it doesn't cause the printer to not work.
However, some other problem might be faulty, or there might be another error message. Try emptying printer queue and print from Ink Management -> Menu/set (twice) to check wether the problem is with communication from pc or if the printer actually is unable to print.

I have a problem about my printer here. it doesnt print black color even if i replaced it with new cartridge...anyone have solution about this pls help....joy
