Epson C48 No B/W print, colour working fine

Is it possible that you accidentally put the wrong colour cartidges in the wrong spots? Otherwise, it should work fine. Also, the printer's default is usually to print in colour, therefore even pages in black and white will usr colour, which uses up coloured ink. Always check the prooerties when printing to switch to b&w:)

kindly replace the print cartridge.your problem will solved

hewlett packard c48 printer had a piece of paper stuck in it pulled it out, now paper goes through but print head does not print any suggestions

WHen your p;;rinter name comes up, check the printing p;references. You have "P:rint colors as black & white" checked. Un check it. It is in the printer dialog box, not PSP.

It is possible that when the printer senses not enough black ink it will swap to using the colour tanks to try and make a BLACK.

It is also possible that you have mistakenly adjusted a setting in the epson printer program to use the colour tanks to print black and white photographs.

Either of those would certainly cause the problem you describe

Check ALL your printer settings both the windows ones AND your epson ones

and click on Replacing Ink Cartridges. To change a cartridge before it is low or empty you must press the maintenance button AND the power button at the same time, or use the print utility.

If the new cartridge also fails to produce print, come back with a new comment for further help.

Unfortunately, Epson printers demand that both black and colour cartridges are OK before the printer will work at all. Now, if you are really sure that you only want to print black, the most cost-effective solution for you is to buy an Epson Chip resetter on E-Bay. This will reset your empty colour cartridge to "full", as far as the printer is concerned. You can then happily continue with your black-only printing.

For the black and white issue, check the settings and make sure that it isn't set on "sepia". As for the color issue, it is quite possible that you are out of ink. Printers may use more of one color than another depending on what you're printing. Change your color cartridge.

this is the utility present on epson printer software itself, go to control panel select printers, then select the c48 right click on it, go to printing preferences, then select maintenance

try a few head cleans or it could be cheap catridges dont refill them, and dont buy the cheap nasty catridges
