I have a "printer error"
sometimes the paper can get stuck way at the back of the machine out of sight and it might be all crinkled up and stuck , the noise that you are hearing at start up is probably the rollers going through a pre-spin check that identifies problems like a paper jam etc you will have to remove any covers and expose as much of the internals of the machine as possible and open and trays and compartments that will allow you to use a torch to inspect the paper route and follow it path
Epson cx7400 ink cartridge problem
Printer manufacturers do not want folks to use cartridges that have been refilled and they deliberately design their printers to not work with refills. If you get a generic refill you have to make sure that they have taken measures to counteract what Epson has programmed into their printers.
Chalk up the experience to GREED - they want you to use their grossly over priced inks - that is where they make their money! Check in Google for work a rounds this nonsense.
Epson Stylus CX3810
I think the MF printer has a defect in the scanning portion of electronics causing the issue. Maybe a hard reset will restore to proper operation. Also uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Also check to make sure that you are using it with an OS that is compatible. Scanners are notorious for not working in alien environment and needing a different driver.
Epson 1400 cartridge carriage jammed
The cleaning unit may still be engaged with the cartridge carriage. There may be a release mechanism on the side of the cleaning unit. The cover will have to be removed to see if that is the case. Another cause could be that the shaft or rail that the carriage travels on is quite dirty. It can be cleaned with alcohol to remove the dirt. That might be what is loading down the motor. Good Luck.
How is 4" x 6" paper loaded?
There are settings that should allow you to specify the page size usually in the printer program that is installed on your computer as well as if you were using your printer as a stand alone device ,it will not be a problem with your Mac or printer but perhaps the instruction menu not been user friendly , I suggest you look at your printer settings in trouble shooting under paper loading etc or paper size as even the very cheap printers allow for smaller paper sizes even envelopes .You might try the print preview which should let make changes if need be .
Epson R265 printing colours incorrectly
For the black and white issue, check the settings and make sure that it isn't set on "sepia". As for the color issue, it is quite possible that you are out of ink. Printers may use more of one color than another depending on what you're printing. Change your color cartridge.
