Will not load paper,when it does it prints for ****.how do you check ink cartriges

I think there are 2 causes epson c 63 printer not print problem.
First one is: Your ink cartrige are not install properly.
Solution: Try to install ink cartrige properly, in this time please clean ink cartrige chip as well as connector.
Secoundly: printer main board problem. Print data does not pass through main board.
Solution: Please replace new one.
I think you will relive from the problem.
Thank yoou.

A manual for your printer is available here.

You may need a newer cartridge
See if the printhead has any abnomal markings.
You can compare it with the color printhead.
If the printhead is good, see if the ink is flowing through the printhead.
Fill the ink cartridge to maximum
Squeeze the sides of the ink cartridge, ink should flow out.
If ink is flowing out, remove any excessive ink with a paper towel.
Install ink cartridges, do NOT do any cleaning cycle.
Since your black cartridge is full, cleaning may cause it not to print.
Do some black copy operations.

Try reseating your Ink Cartriges first then try printing to see if the error still appears, if it does try reinstalling your printer drivers... make sure you check your printer cables if they are conencted properly to your computer after reseating the cartriges.

At a guess you've bought a compatible generic cartrige. I had a similar problem different printer.

I had to by a genuine cartrige, worked fine. Contacted the generic cartrige provider, explained the problem. Returned cartriges and got refund no problem.

It looks like the generic cartrige makers are seeing some solutions to chipped cartridges but not all.

Try reinstalling the ink cartrige as if it was a new one, that worked to reset my print cartrige status for HP printer.

If you brought new Lexmark cartridges please change it as it comes with one year warranty but before try to perform a self test, (i.e make a copy) if it works then try printing , if get the error then change the cart.........................

remove the cartridge and see if it goes away, if does then you probably have a defective cartridge are are not inserting it correctly.

Thank You,

This is what worked (so far) with my Dell AIO A940 printer that wouldn't print black ink.

It worked for awhile when I chose photo/glossy paper, but then it quit printing again (see below).

PRINT, PROPERTIES, PAPER SETUP, SPECIALTY PAPER, PHOTO/GLOSSY


I got it to print, again, by putting SEVERAL papers in the feeder (instead of just 1) - there is a sensor that is supposed to automatically detect paper type, and it might not be working right, especially with one or only a couple of sheets.

Cartriges have a shelf life. It's printing in blue either because it has dried up or is out. Different cartriges have different timelines but if you haven't been using the printer often, it could have dried up or is simply out of ink. I would suggest first to try cleaning the head of the cartrige where the ink comes out with alcohol and a Q-tip and then if that doesn't work, buying a new black cartrige.
