All-In-One Printer Fails To Print Black Ink? - Super User

Well, here's your problem: that's a six year-old printer. I used to have it and and 2007 I replaced it with an Epson Stylus Photo RX595 AIO because like the R220, the RX595 has the ability to print directly onto inkjet printable CD's/DVD's. Your printheads/nozzles are shot and all the cleaning in the world will not fix them and it's certainly won't be cost effective to have repaired when you can get a current model for less than the repair price. Mine went after two years. Honestly, it's amazing that this printer lasted as long as it has. Six years has to be some kind of record.
Here are the current CD/DVD printing models from Epson.

For the Ink Pads you can use just water but you have to dissasemble the printer to get them out.
For cleaning the nozzels you can use distilled water with a small syringe put a little in every color into the PRINTHEAD not into the cartridges and let it sit a couple of hours then try again the nozzle check. Good luck

dear sir good day to print you have to 1- remove the old driver from your mac 2- install the driver agin 3- do a nozzle check on the printer 4- if the mac didn't recognize the printer so you have to change the usb printer cable with a new one thank you and good luck

it maybe because your printers nozzle might be dirty. try to perform some cleaning cycles about 3 would be more effective......

The problem caused by waste ink at bottom plate arround head sprayer. Clean it. Turn off printer. Move head to center. Put wet tissue (with warm/hot water) upper head cleaning pad. Move head to right (parking position). wait for 10 minutes. Repeat it for 2-3 times. Check nozzle.

Helps to turn the printer off when not in use as the heat tends to dry out the ink. Sometimes the heads just quit and have to be replaced. If you are sure it's just blocked remove it and flush with soft water, then buy some windex window cleaner, make a solution of 100 mls cleaner 200 mls soft water and soak overnight , flush with soft water and shake dry, hope it works.

Hi

You need to clean the printheads or the nozzle check.

If you go to the printer properties you will see the options to do this.

Print a nozzle check pattern then clean the heads until nozzle check pattern returns to normal. If you are using cheap **** compatible inks, throw them out and get some genuine stuff to run in the cleaning routine. Cheap **** compatible ink makes the situation worse when cleaning.

Hi

There is a problem with the sensor on the printer, try using an ink cartridge just for troubleshooting purposes, if everything fails. have it service or buy a new printer instead.


Hope this helps
