Epson Stylus Photo R300 InkJet Printer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I believe this is going to be a software issue. Do a print preview of the booklet first to see if they are showing up in the right order. If they are, then it is a printer issues and I really can't help you there, but it they aren't then you know it might be a software issue. Check you formatting on the document before you trying printing it again.

the heads are removable if you remove the back plastic cartridge holder first with pointed pliers then there are two screws at base accessable with printer intackted. you only have to set the carrage to cartridge change position to do this. once removed use a rubber tube on a cyringe filled with water and blow jets through several times and replace as removed....

Hi. Try this trick in the video:

general error Delete all print jobs and turn the printer off. Remove any foreign objects from inside the printer. After a few minutes%2C turn the printer back on.

I had the same problem. Restarted the printer. Reinstalled the drivers. Scratched my head ... nothing! then I moved the printer away from the wall - problem solved! I can't say that this will work for you but if everything else is working, as it was and still is on mine then it's worth a try.
What I didn't realsie was that the cd tray comes out of the back of the printer when it's checking the alignment. I had inadvertantly pushed the printer back, too close to the wall. Moved it forward slightly and it's fixed.
Hope that solves it for everyone.

Check to see if you have the printer selected as the default printer. You can select the correct printer by going to the control panel to see if it's showing as default.

Printer manufacturers do not want folks to use cartridges that have been refilled and they deliberately design their printers to not work with refills. If you get a generic refill you have to make sure that they have taken measures to counteract what Epson has programmed into their printers. Chalk up the experience to GREED - they want you to use their grossly over priced inks - that is where they make their money! Check in Google for work a rounds this nonsense.

I turned the printer upside down, shook it and tapped the bottom and wehey.......problem sorted!!

Hi,

Epson's ink uses a dift technology so far better result you need to check what brand of glossy or photo paper you can use. You can purchase an epson photo or glossy paper for best results.

If you may have other questions pls feel free to ask.

Just rate me Fixya if your issue has been resolved.

Start with a "nozzle check" and confirm that all your colors are printing properly. Epson printers are prone to clogging, and this can cause very strange effects if some of the colors don't fire properly. I just replaced my Epson Photo 260 because I couldn't get the black head to clear....

Is your Epson printer new? If so you would have got a CD. Why not try the CD. If not you could try any Epson near R300 series. It might work or sometime it may detect by itself and connect your printer to the computer.

It is somewhat difficult to give a helpful answer as you do not mention what sort of image files are on the card and that could be the real culprit- If your camera produces RAW image files, then you cannot print from those - you need a format like JPEG of TIFF (as examples). Please give some more information so we can then help.

seated again correctly

IIf the cartridges is original epson there is some color (light magenta that is clogged. if the cartridges is non original check that is with the right order

The chips on the cartridges, should be resetter to full. The newer Epson chips can't get a reset, so I would bring (or send) the bad ones back and ask for new ones. Also make sure the contacts on the chip and in the pronter are clean and shiny.

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button.
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

The R300 is not capable of double sided printing, it has no duplexer

If the paperfeed works when you "help" it a little, most likely the feed rollers simply need cleaning. We often suggest taking a little alcohol and spraying it onto some paper, and running it through several times, then running clean/dry paper through to finish. If the printer isn't even trying to load paper, possibly the paper sensor is blocked with dust, and blowing the insides of the printer may help.
