Have an Epsom stylus color 440. will not print

Do a "nozzle check". Do you get anything?
Did you remove the tape pull-off tabs that let ink flow?
If you get nothing or very little with the nozzle check, and you did remove the tabs. do a "head clean" and try again.

Hi

To clean the print head manually, remove the ink cartridge and rub the print head in a plain paper with rubbing alcohol until ink flows and then run the print nozzle cleaning maintenance.

If not, dip the print head into a how water for 5 minutes and then run the print nozzle. Then try to print again.

The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.

There is nothing wrong with the black ink. Just run the head cleaning for better printing.

1. Go to printer and faxes
2. Right click your printer ( Epson Stylus Multifunction Printer/ Copier/ Scanner InkJet)
3. Click printing preferences
4. Click Maintenance Tab
5. Click Head Cleaning
6. Run head cleaning for 5 times then try printing.

The ink dried up in the print head. A printer should be used at least every two weeks to keep from drying up the ink. You may have to replace the print head or have it serviced.
This is not much help. Bud

Did you remove the plastic protector on the ink cartridge before you installed it?

press 'Control' + 'P' on a page (as tho you want to print)
click 'Maintenance'
there you'll find various options to clean heads etc, that should do it. tho it does deplete your inks considerably each attempt. & you'll probably find it needs more than one clean.Good luck!

I have a 440 and have had the same problem. Of course, I have been using cartridges from Printpal, Inkgrabber, etc. that are not official Epson. I have found that it takes several cleanings and after the cartridge has been in the position for the ink to go down it will start. My last order from Printpal said to set all the cartridges in the position they are in when installed in the printer for several days prior to installation. Of course, every cleaning of the print head uses up more of your ink. You don't have much choice though.

Hi , i hava same printer like this , the printer need to reset , the counter are exceed the limit number of copies printed so need to reset the printer , you may visit the web site enter the printer number so they wiill able to identified the machine for downloading reseter.

Hi, I find this problem occurs when the Print Head dries out. You can buy special cleaning fluid for this. Just google search for "epson 440 print head clean" You can clean the print head yourself with some warm water on a lint free cloth but this is quite messy.
