***hi there,il be willing to help you on that. ****
if it is printing the same document over and over again, probably you hit a couple of times before, all we need to do is to cancel the print queue. first turn off the printer before it prints the next page, or once it finished the doc its printing, remember not to turn it off, in the middle of printing. unplug the usb cable. you did not mention your operating system,
for widows xp, click start->control panel->printers and faxes->right click on the printer icon->cancel all documents, delete the icon: right click on the icon then select delete,
for vista: click start->control panel->switch to classic view (look at the upper left side)) ->printers ->right click on the printer icon->cancel all documents, delete the icon: right click on the icon then select delete,

the icon will disappear but it will come back once you replug the usb cable , so next is to replug the usb cable, tehn try printing

open the lid, they should come out, they usually position in the center, but if not, just look, you will see your cartridges.

Hello there
You may not see a paper jam.

This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

get a bright flashlight and look for tiny bit of paper, hair or other object.

If you see nothing to remove, try blasting the paper path with compressed air.

i hve printer spooler problem

Short answer is no... The SSC utility stopped development about 3+ years ago and hasn't been compatible with newer printers produced since.

The SX400 does have a suitable reset utility if you do some searching for "adjprog tx400 download" BUT word of warning, look for a reputable source and don't just run stuff without checking thoroughly for virus/malware payloads.

Hope that helps.

you should be able to have them clean themselves in control panel printers, Epson Stylus CX3200 and properties

Yes. In order to prevent air from being drawn into the print system, which could damage the printhead, all cartridges must be installed; none are allowed to be empty.

Hi, one of your ink cartridges are empty, to check which cartridge needs replacing press the stop button, the carriage will move across to the left and sit below a pointer. This will point to the empty cartridge.
Press the stop button again, the carriage will move across either to display another empty cartridge or to the position to allow you to change the cartridge.
This can also be checked using the Status monitor software on the PC.

I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

Release carriage lock. Or turn on printer, immediatelly unplu power while carriage moving. So, carriage will not park at parking position. Move by hand freely.

www.epson.com has the drivers to download and usually an option to buy the CD if you need it.

You're jets are pretty much shot. Have you recently used generic ink or used ink that has sat for a while? I had almost the same model and bought my ink in bulk not thinking about it and same thing occurred. Time to upgrade to a new printer...sorry.

just follow the link and select your os to download drivers.

Open the printer and remove the ink. Clean around the ink carriage and the under the ink with alcohol and a cotton swab. Pay special attention to areas with copper contacts. Keep in mind too that some printers will not print, even with full ink, if the exact type of ink it expected you to have installed is not right. Double check that the ink is correct against the manual or written instructions inside the printer using the number not the shape. Not every cartridge that fits the printer necessarily works.

I had that same problem, when I used Generic INK.
Replace the cartridges with Genuine Epson Ink,
and then ran fine.

Weird eh?

Good Luck.
