Epson Stylus Photo PX800FW doesn't print text

Epson Stylus Photo PX800FW doesn't print text in Black - resp. at all (!) - even when only one colour (light cyan) is empty.
How can I force to print - in whatever colour?

Many thanks in advance for possible solutions.

NB: I really get annoyed by this printer malfunctioning. I advice present which other printers won't primarily serve the companies turnover, but the customer, I offer many kudos, gratitude. Not performing the primary function (printing) while filled with many milliliters of prescious ink is a deadly sin, a big incentive to change to other companies in the future.

Printer working ok-did 50 colour photos ,6x4 when i made a mistake and pushed the print button when there was still about 1 inch of the previous photo still being printed.This print emerged with overprint of about 1".Thereafter the printer has refused to operate properly the next print being heavily discoloured.It then told me to replace the light magenta cartridge-this I did and the discolouration changed hew.It then told me to change the magenta and light cyan carts.-I did and discolouration changed again.It then told me to change the yellow and cyan=siscolouration now bright
red over coloured. I then successfully printed a letter in B&W proving that the black cartridge was still working.However as soon as I tried again to print a coloured photo it now tells me that the machine does not recognise the black cartridge and orders me to change it and until I do refuses to take any instructions telling me to install the black cartridge cprrectly.The black cartridge installed isout half full and has successfully printed copies and photos.I have carried out the suggested remedies by the machine and none were effectuve.How do it the infernal machine working again???

I have inherited an Epson R1800 printer that guzzles magenta and cyan inks like crazy. Am I doing something wrong?

No, If you are printing any coloured output this will be normal depending on the actual colour content and what most people don't realise is that unless your text is pure black then it will be printed using the color carts as well and not the black ink cart.

Epson Stylus Photo 870 only prints black and white

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.

Epson c88 how print in magenta

Do you mean "how do I print text in Magenta instead of black". Well, you change the colour of the text from black to magenta. For example in Word, you would select (highlight) all the text, click on Format, then Font. Then click on the down arrow at the side of the Font Color box, then click on Magenta. To check you have the right colour, click again on the down arrow at the side of the Font Color box, and select More Colors. Then click on Custom. Magenta has a Red-Green-Blue value of 255-0-255. Now print the document and it will come out with magenta text.

If this is not what you want, please come back with a new comment explaining further.
