Plz Rate The Solution Accordingly....

Yes there is some micro piece of paper is under a sensor somewhere Get serious and pull it apart, what have you got to loose! Inkypete

Try this: Using the Guide for the software (don't you have an icon for the guide on your desktop?) select the "printing" troubleshooting option. It should show the steps to cleaning the print heads and how to do a nozzle check. It is really easy to do both, just click where it reads "clean print heads" and "nozzle check." I'm not positive this is the solution to your problem but it is worth a try--better than trying to get anything out of Epson's tech support. (Good luck with that!) I hope this does help.

first go to your start menu. Then click on Printer and Faxes. When there right click on your printer and select Properties. When this window opens go to the General tab; then go to the Color tab. There you will see a box that you can check for printing in Gray Scale Only. Check this. After you have checked it, you can then check Black only.

If you wish for this to remain that way until you replace the other colors, be sure to click on APPLY or it will only print the first thing that way. After you have replaced the ink cartridges, use the same tabs to cancel the gray scale selection!

Try printing some thing using your computer and not from the LCD screen it should set things up ok after.

The StickMan

This problem needs to be addressed by an Epson service center. It needs disassembled and probably needs parts replaced that the leaking ink damaged. Sorry.

OFF the printer.open the top cover whole scanner unit .then look at the black base where usually cartridge moves when the printer is ON when you give printouts..press that black base and it will move little bit down .that whole black base comes little bit up due to some reason and when the cartridge holder moves from left to right for its internal allignments/adjustments it clashes that part somewhere and make such noices.and gives the service error..just press that whole 7- 8 inches base where the cartridge moves slowly ,carefully and firmly.then ON the printer and check.do it again if it does not becomes ok after first time.

rate the solution if it helps
thanks.

Try replacing the magenta cartridge...
Does it also do this when you try to use it as a copier? If so,
try to clean the head.. If it only happens when you're printing from the computer, try to reinstall the driver

Go to control panel and delete the printer icon from there. Unplug the printer, restart the computer, when the computer is back on, reconnect the printer... This should automatically create another printer icon in "printers and faxes" ... try printing the windows test page.

Turn off high speed printing from the printer properties... This will allow a more stable type of printing... If you have windows, the printer properties in in the control panel's printers folder.

You need to download the drivers again

Spooling is a PC thing not printer Printer spool is an area of reserved memory which collects date for the printer before sending off - it seems it is not big enough to cope with the image size you are dealing with. check out the Computer route to adjust the spool memory size.

may i suggest u try installing it on a windows platform ,if the problem goes away, then it is the present operating system that you may be usuing.
