Tirzo is right it is a possible hardware issue. Probably the sensor that responsible in CD/DVD guide cover open & close detection might be damage

It sounds that there is a possible hardware failure concerning CD/DVD guide cover. We can try this to resolved that issue:

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Close & open the CD/DVD guide cover for three times and make sure that the CD/DVD tray is not inserted.
3. Close CD/DVD guide, Turn the printer on. If printer is ready, press the maintenance button.
4. Try printing again.

If the above step wont resolved that issue your printer may need to send to a nearest Epson Authorized Service Center.

Paper is loaded for printing, but the CD/DVD tray guide is open.If you want to print on paper, close the CD/DVD tray guide. If you want to print on a CD or DVD, remove the paper from the sheet feeder.

R300 error message close cd dvd guide the guide is closed but it will not print

Have you contacted Epson directly? I had a problem with the R200 some time ago and it was down to the tracking of the CD/DVD tray being out of alignment. Due to cost of the printers now it is not worth paying to get them fixed. Lookout for Epson deals where you can trade in your old R300 for a newer model. I still have my R200 still going strong and an RX858.I am sorry I have no firm advice to fix it direct.Mac#

CD/DVD guide error
When turning on the printer or printing on paper, the CD/DVD guide is open.
Close the CD/DVD guide.

Carriage error
The print head carriage is obstructed by jammed paper or other foreign material and cannot return to the home position.
Turn off the printer. Open the paper support and the printer cover then remove any paper or other obstructions from the paper path by hand. Then, turn the printer back on.

I keep getting the close the cd/dvd guide

When you flip the main cover up, and flip the CD/DVD tray down, look at the cartridge color guide label (the colored dots). See the LIGHT CYAN dot? Directly across from that dot around underneath the gray cover is supposed to be a little plastic fin. That fin pushes the sensor switch in the CD/DVD tray to let the printer know if it is open or closed. If it breaks off, then the printer always thinks the tray is open. If it's broken off, you will have to either stick a toothpick or something into the switch, or glue a new thin piece of plastic in its place.
