Welcome to FixYa!

• While the printer is on, disconnect the power cable and the USB cable from the back of the printer.
• Restart your computer.
• Connect back the USB cable and the power cable at the back of the printer.
• If it does not turn on, use the power button to turn it on.

If this does not resolve the issue, look at the display panel of the printer and tell me what the does it say.

Keep me posted.
I'll be standing by.

There are no less than 24 cases in which the error light is triggered. Without knowing what is the actual error we cannot give you a solution. Please provide more details.
In the mean time try to replace the cartridges and clean their contacts - they are the most common causes of errors.

Epson printers have replaceable ink tanks but the firing nozzles are permanently built into the printer. The firing nozzle for the black ink is most likely blocked. Try the nozzle cleaning process via the supplied software, although this will waste a lot of ink and will not guarantee 100% success. If it is under warranty I would recommend returning it to the shop and buying a different make. These printers are not reliable and often require you to replace ink cartridges even though there is ink still in them, due to built-in chips which report the ink levels incorrectly.

try to plug off crtridge, then plug on again, then try to head cleaning function again, it may fix your problem

If the inkjet printer has not been used for some time, and the ink cartridges are full then the print head nozzles may be blocked. If running the maintenance nozzle cleaning does not clear the print head nozzles then the print head will need to be replaced.
NOTE - inkjet print heads are not cheap, it may be better to purchase a new inkjet printer.

OK, were the cartridges genuine Epson cartridges, or an off brand? Because Epson and other manufacturers usually will guarantee that their brand cartridges work best with their brand of printer.

Also, if you bought them from a major retailer like Walmart, they'll accept exchanges and returns on defective items within 30 days, or so.

It seems simple enough, but this is one of the most effective ways of fixing printer cartridge error. Mostly, printer cartridge error occurs when the printer head is unable to identify the cartridge properly. And the basic reason behind this is that the cartridge is improperly attached.

To reattach the cartridge check the following steps :

turn on the lid of the printer and then remove the cartridge from the printer head.

Check the cartridge to make sure that there are no scratches or other damaged parts that can contribute to a printer cartridge error report.

Take note that the cartridge should not be left open for more than 30 minutes; otherwise the ink will start to dry up and the cartridge will get clogged.

Dont know how it is in the good old US but here in UK - Epson have this super 'swap out' scheme for the more complex devices that die out of warranty. What we do - is to phone Epson and tell them the tale. they will then offer to send FedEx with a new printer and you give the driver your old one all for a quick flash of your plastic friend. If they do it - go for it.

> the cyan and yellow do not come up

You've either got clogged jets, or those two ink-wells are empty.

If running a "cleaning" does not improve anything,
then try replacing the ink-cartridge.
