Epson Stylus C66 inkjet Printer does not print !
Have you tried a cleaning cycle? If not, try one. Now run a nozzle check using the status monitor (right click the little printer icon in the bottom right corner of the screen and select nozzle check). Is there any sign of ink on the paper. Try up to three cleaning cycles. If ink is now flowing, but not yet perfectly, don't carry out any more cleaning cycles. Just leave the printer for 24 hours (to allow any air in the print head to disperse). Then repeat the cleaning cycle/wait process. It may take a while to restore a perfect nozzle check print. If these actions produce no positive results, report back.
Look at the row of rollers in the main print area - where you lift up the front lid. Are there rollers or springs missing? If so, this is where your rollers/springs came from. If this is the case, do a repost and let us know.
The Epson C66 is notorious for losing the spring which is situated directly behind the plastic paper feed panel. If this panel does not have a 'springiness' about it that is where it is from. The spring is about 1.5 inches long and one inch in diameter. It fits directly between the 'hinged' panel and back panel where you feed the paper in. If you remove the hinged part (it comes off with gentle persuasion) you will see a grove where the spring slots in. The job of the spring is to give the paper a 'gentle nudge' onto the rollers.
