Have you contacted Epson directly? I had a problem with the R200 some time ago and it was down to the tracking of the CD/DVD tray being out of alignment. Due to cost of the printers now it is not worth paying to get them fixed. Lookout for Epson deals where you can trade in your old R300 for a newer model. I still have my R200 still going strong and an RX858.I am sorry I have no firm advice to fix it direct.Mac#

try to reset the priter, by presig for 5 secods. if does'work, try to realign the cartridge ad pritheads ( with printer soft)

Depends how long you have had your printer, epson are well know for the rollers that takes the paper in getting worn, and so does the cd/dvd tray, eventually you have to push the tray in by hand to get the thing started, somtimes changing the disk tray helps, if youve got a spare one,

check your plattern foam thingy (not the official term but close) thats the foam membrane that absorbs ink on boarderless printing etc, could be that the cd tray is acting on the foam if is a little lifted or displaced. but just a thought, never seen it happen like this before.

This is normally caused by the open CD tray. Close it and try.

is there an ok button on that error message? if so just click on OK button and click on a button says manual.
It will let you check on the settings on the printer. paper size should be A4.
on print settings it should let you select on cd/dvd

Note: this only works if you have installed the epson easy print from the epson.com website of your printer model

I had the same problem. Restarted the printer. Reinstalled the drivers. Scratched my head ... nothing! then I moved the printer away from the wall - problem solved! I can't say that this will work for you but if everything else is working, as it was and still is on mine then it's worth a try.
What I didn't realsie was that the cd tray comes out of the back of the printer when it's checking the alignment. I had inadvertantly pushed the printer back, too close to the wall. Moved it forward slightly and it's fixed.
Hope that solves it for everyone.

Hi - have you tried giving the tray a little push; I had to do it with my R200; one minute it was fine the next I received the same message as you - Might work - brand

(1) Check you have about 6 inches clearance at the back of the printer
(2) When loading the CD Tray, Align the arrows then when the printer starts to feed the tray, give the tray a gentle push towards the back of its direction of travel. That seems to help on my R200
