Epson CX6600 takes up to 2 minutes from when Print pressed to Print

We recently had new drive put in computer. So everything had to be reinstalled including the print program. Prior to this when print was pressed, it printed the page instantaneous. Now it takes 2 minutes before it will start to print. Printing is fine and computer seems fine. Would you know what the problem is?

Open ink cartridge holder

Here are some T/S steps for your problem:

Running a printer operation check
If you are unable to determine the source of the problem, performing a printer operation check can help you determine whether the problem comes from the CX6600 or the computer.
To perform a printer operation check, follow these steps.

Disconnect the USB cable from your computer.

Make sure that Letter-size paper is loaded in the sheet feeder.

Press the

On button to turn on the CX6600, and make sure the ! Error light is off.

Press the Setup Mode button to enter Setup Mode.

Select button repeatedly until 3.Nozzle check appears on the LCD panel, then press the

Color button. The CX6600 starts printing. The CX6600 prints an operation check page that includes a nozzle check pattern.
Compare the quality of the printed test page with the sample shown below.

Changing Cartridges

I inspected the users manual, there it writes:

The steps below to replace an ink cartridge: Caution: Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your CX6600 not covered by Epson’s warranty. 1. If an ink cartridge is empty: Look at the LCD screen to see which cartridge is empty, then press the x Color button. If an ink cartridge is low: Press the Setup button to enter Setup Mode, then press the green button next to the LCD screen until Replace Ink is displayed. Then press the x Color button. 2. Lift up the scanner

3.Wait for the ink cartridge holder to move over, then open its cover.
4. Identify the cartridge you need to replace. Press in the tab at the back of the cartridge, then lift it straight out. Dispose of it carefully.

5. Before unwrapping the new cartridge, shake it gently four or five times. Then remove it from its wrapper.
6. Insert the new cartridge into the holder. Press down firmly until it clicks into place.
7.
Close the ink cartridge cover.
8.
Lower the scanner.

The CX6600 begins charging the ink delivery system and “Charging . . .” appears on the LCD screen. Wait for charging to finish before using your CX6600.

Caution: Never turn off the printer while “Charging . . .” appears on the LCD screen, unless the CX6600 hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.

Did the machine prompt you or was the printer not printing properly? The other colors should blend together to give you atleast some form of black.
