Hello, Mick -

What is the model of your Epson printer? You can choose Comment and add the model number or name there.

Since I have no idea what model of Epson printer you have, I also have no idea if your printer just is a black ink printer or if it can print in more than just black.

Some options regarding your problem:
* Your printer has run dry of black ink and needs a new black ink cartridge or an ink refill.
* One or more of the color inks for your printer have run dry and you need to replace the color ink cartridges with new ones or refill the color ink reservoirs.

If your printer is meant to print in both black and other colors (magenta, cyan, yellow), then, you need to know that the 3 colors are used and mixed with the black ink to make black print. So, for a color printer, one needs to have all 4 ink cartridges filled with adequate ink.

Best wishes.

SOURCE: epson sx200 One of the colour inks is empty and no print in black

Hi, this is not a solution because I don't think there is one apart from buying new inks. Epson and all other inkjet printers do this to prevent the coloured print head nozzles from getting blocked. If they are not used for a long time the ink dries up and blocks the nozzles. Epson recommends printing at least once a month with all colours to prevent this. Printing in black only option will only work if the colored inks are OK. Whenever the printer is turned on it performs a head clean, this is why the coloured inks get used over time even though they are not used for printing.

SOURCE: My Epson Stylus NX 400 is not printing.

no it cannot. Those multi-colored cartridge system requires that you put in every single color, AND ensure that they are not empty before they will print. Even if all you want is a black and white copy.

EPSON SERIES L200 PRINTER DOES NOT PRINT BLACK COLOR

To everybody having issues with black not printing on the L200, I just got off the phone with Epson, and these steps solved it for me:

1.- Open the ink containers (lay flat and open carefully to avoid ink spillage).
2.- Run the Clean maintenance procedure from the Epson control panel
3.- Try printing a page with black features (still with the ink containers open)
3.- If it still won't print, try the Full Clean (it uses more ink, but in my case it was necessary)
4.- Try printing a page again (at this point it worked for me).
5.- Close the ink containers and put back on the side of the printer.

According to the Epson representative, this is the most common cause for printing issues with the L200 because the initial ink load creates a high vacuum and then the ink can't flow.

RIP OFF EPSON, NEVER BUYING A PRINTER OR ANY SORT OF DEVICE FROM THEM AGAIN. WON'T LET ME PRINT WITH BLACK INK ONLY, BECAUSE YOU NEED YELLOW TO PRINT BLACK, YEAH? STUPID COMPANY!

It's up to you. Epson have best head design using micropiezo. we just to replace ink tank to continue printing. Or if using CISS, no maitanance. Just fill the bottle. All ink tank must be inserted, when printing, even we just print black, to preserve ink dried at head. Actually, if we just want black ink print out, we can insert empty yellow tank, but level indicator (program) not ink out.

Communication error between Epson Printer and iMac

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Epson stylus c45

epson.com, actually you can print using black ink only, but you have to reset the color ink for it to register as full. :) or you can freeze the ink counter using the ssc service utility before the other ink rans out. :)
