Hi

The printer driver is corrupted and needs to set up again the printer by adding new printer and set it as default printer. Then delete the old printer icon.

If not, uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it again and then set up again new printer.

Please let me know if you need more help

Hi, Here is the meaning of the flashing red light. Red paper light flashes Paper is jammed in the printer. Press the paper button to eject the paper. If that doesn't work, turn off the printer, open the cover, and pull the paper out from the front, including any torn pieces. Then turn on the printer, reload paper, and press the paper button. You can download the user's guide for this product from here. Good luck!

Run the self-cleaning process found in the printer's software. It should be called something along the lines of "Head Cleaner"

It would be easier and cheaper to buy a new printer.

Please get the correct driver here : www.printcountry.com/drivers.asp

This printer has 4 colour cartridges, black, cyan, yellow and magenta.
It can generate a wide range of colours by mixing some or all of these inks to produce a colour photo images.

waring light ask to do the maintenance or contact mainufacture..

The line is a sign that the holes in the printing head corresponding to that line are working at full constantly (the opposite of a clogged head) while the ones under them not at all, which means that they are no longer correctly controlled by the processor of the printer. This is a hardware fault and the only way it can be fixed is by replacing the entire mainboard. This would cost you more than a new printer.
Sorry, this printer is effectively dead, you need to replace it.

Here's your user's manual.

Hi,

Have you tried the steps below, if not, try them Turn on the printer by pressing the"Power" button. Check the red "Ink" light next to the powerbutton. If it is flashing, you need to first replace an ink cartridge. If the"Ink" light is off, proceed with the cleaning process. 2 Open the Epson Printer Utilityprogram installed on the computer connected to the printer. In the mainmenu, click the "Head Cleaning" option. Click "Start" tobegin the cleaning process. This may take several minutes. You will hear noisesfrom the printer and the "Power" light will begin to flash. 3 Load paper into the tray when the"Power" light stops flashing and you no longer hear noises. Click the"Print Nozzle Check Pattern" option on your screen, then click"Print" on the following screen. The printer will now print a testpage. 4 Click "Finish" if thetest page looks complete. If there are gaps in the image or white lines runningacross the page, the print head needs to be cleaned again. Click the"Clean" option on the final screen instead of "Finish" toclean the heads again. Once again, the printer will print a test page whenfinished. If the page does not meet your standards, clean the head until youare satisfied.

If this does not work, try the steps below.

The fix is described here:
http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/duraink.html

But I had a few problems trying to apply it. I wound up with one of those"extra" parts. (see http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/37654)

So, be advised that the fix is non-trivial to perform if you're a klutz likeme, and also you probably DON'T need to disassemble the print head. (On theother hand, if you DO disassemble the print head, and you see a little partlike the one I found, please tell me where it goes!).

maybe your printer need to be overhaul clean as it may have ink spread inside around, have it clean if still persist it need to be reset.
