I had a paper jam and pulled the paper out - the paper did not tear. Since then the as it completes the startup process up pops a message "A printer error occurred. Please see manual. I have lost my manual so have no idea if the solution is in it. Can you please help?
Lin Just to say the printer is an Epson Photo R340

began with the perennial and continuous low ink warning.
followed by an unacceptance of a perfectly compatible substitue ink cartridge. Then claimed paper jam, and will not stop this. There was a paper jam-months ago. This is a false reading now.
For first problem, I will try to get the download for low ink.began with the perennial and continuous low ink warning.

I have the same problem. Not sure if I need ink or not but the ink will not move back and forth at setup (like it used to), so I cannot even get to it.

Turn the printer off and on to see if it can automatically clear
some or all of the jam. Many printers provide an error-code listing on
the front panel display for the area where the jam occurred. If your
printer shows an error code, be sure and check the printer manual to
see if that identifies the area of the printer where the jam occurred.
Step 2
Turn off the printer.
Step 3
Remove any paper trays. Inspect them for wrinkled or damaged paper.
Step 4
Open any other doors that give access to the printer's paper path and to the toner or ink cartridge.
Step 5
If necessary, remove the toner or ink cartridge. Place it in a bag or away from light to avoid damaging it.
Step 6
If
you find a piece of jammed paper, remove it by holding it with both
hands and pulling firmly (see A). The goal is to keep the paper from
tearing. If several pieces are jammed together, try pulling out the
middle piece first to loosen the jam.
Step 7
If the paper does tear, try rotating the roller gears manually to free the paper (see B). Don't force anything, though.
Step 8
Replace the toner or ink cartridge and paper trays, close any doors you opened and turn the printer back on.
Step 9
If the printer paper jam message still appears, then there is still some paper in the printer. Reinspect the paper path.
