Printer problem printer was skipping like it was low on ink so I changed the cartridge with a new one and it still skips

txmusick Nov 16, 2007

I have the described problem when printing from Notepad. From other programs, i only get the top and bottom inches (header and footer) of the document, with the body missing. FYI, color printing seems to work fine from Wordpad. The driver has already been reinstalled - both downloaded from compaq, and the driver that comes with windows. The driver shows the black in cartridge is full and i've run the option to clean the print heads.

Skips many lines when p[rinting. We have cleaned nozzle changed all ink cartridges for new epson ones. Help!!!

The print head on Epson machines is built into the printer. The print heads are also not replaceable. It may take multiple cleaning cycles to clear it up, which may consume an entire set of ink cartridges to do. If you were using low quality compatible ink, the mixture of the inks can lead it to coagulating and really mess things up. That is why we only use high quality inks designed to match the OEM specs, not generic one type fits all inks. [email protected] with questions.

Canon printers do not like non Canon inks. Maybe other printers have similar issues but it seems that Canon is particularly finnicky.

Printer skipping lines

Your color laserjet probably just needs to be recalibrated. Please go the menu and find the Calibration option. check your manual for exact location. If the lines that are skipping are in the color that you just replaced, try another toner, as you may have a bad one

My Epson CX6600 prints but the words seem to have skipped parts. No word or line is complete. Although there is ink, printing is very light. Any suggestions?

This sounds like you need to replace the ink cartridges. Stuff is missing because the ink is very low or empty. Also, if you have just replaced the ink cartridges then you might need to do a cleaning cycle on the printer.

Deteriorating Print Quality

This is Maltesecross. Turns out that the faintness of my printed pages was in fact due to a low ink cartridge, even though some pages printed out fine and others half-good. Eventually, all pages turned faint, and upon re-installing the driver, I got a low-ink warning (the first one ever). Putting in a new ink cartridge solved the problem for me.
