Can you replace the printer head on a Epson R280

Is this a new cartridge?

Probably dirty heads on the nozzle. In most inkjets there is a maintenance option to clean the heads. I would first clean the heads, and then make sure that the print heads were aligned. If that is all squared away then check for any driver or firmware updates. Finally get some rubbing alcohol and gently clean the print head. Sometimes if the printer is not used that often the ink will congeal and smear.

You need to align/clean your ink cartridge. Look under the Printers, select your printer and go to Properties. There should be a tab for maintenance.

You can download the Epson printer drivers from their support WEB site. Please click on this link and select your model printer to download :- http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/index.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes

It sounds like the print head may be clogged. To clean print head:

1. Get a saucer and fill it with hot water
2. Dip the print head in for 30 minutes
3. Wipe the print head with a dry cloth
4. Repeat the above at least 3-4 times (replace the hot water in the saucer each time)
5. After repeating and wiping down the print head, put it back in your printer, put the cartridges in and run the print head cleaning function 2-3 times.

If it still doesn't work, then you may have to replace the print head.

Try using a soft cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol over the metal contacts. Make certain all residue to include spent ink or oil from your fingers have been removed. Let air dry. If your printers Print Head can be removed separately, that is the way to go when cleaning components. It has been known that Print Heads fail also and need replacement.

try unplugging your printer for about 5-10 minutes it should reset. and unistall and reinstall the software.

Hello sir; Why don't try to press "resume" key before you print.
