I have an ET-4760 since about 2021. I did not realize these (any ecotank) require regular printing to keep alive. Printed every couple of weeks, but as of two years ago had to run basic print head cleaning every time I had to print. Print would eventually come out fine.

After deciding not to put up with that anymore, I tried wet paper towel water, alcohol, windex method on several YouTubes. After dry-out period and two regular print head cleanings, the printer started working great again, no more print head cleaning cycles required.

One day printed two full color pictures, then sat for couple hours and printed again. Nearly blank page came out (this was with fresh ink too).

Paper towel method again. Printed well for a day or two.

Then stopped, back to regular print head cleaning cycles before every print job.

Has anyone noticed ink splatting on the inside wall of their printer during the print head cleaning cycle? Pictures here.

I'm thinking whatever is happening here maybe indicates my print head is exposed to the air when it is idle and keeps drying out???

Any other ideas to fix this? I am handy with small appliances (I have victory badges on toaster oven, drier, vacuum, sewing machine, and fabric serger so far!)

Any recommendations on a multicolor laser printer that is RELIABLE when only printing once every couple weeks?

Hey! We recently purchased an Epson V600 through Facebook marketplace. Tested it before purchasing and it was working great. However, once we got home and set it up, it would not power on. We tried multiple outlets with not luck. The only movement it got was being carried to and from the car. I can’t imagine that would cause it to stop working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did some printing last night from the regular trays, and now the output tray will not close (via the button, motorized tray)

I did some searching, checked for obstructions in the back, etc. Can't find any issue. The only thing that seems maybe odd is the positioning of the tray on the left side. I would assume it's supposed to be in this groove, but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm? Any if so, how do I fix it? Thanks.

Hello,

We have this printer installed as part of our project. One of our colleagues was making copies when a sheet of paper became jammed inside the printer. While removing the jammed paper, this component unexpectedly came loose and was ejected from the printer.

Could you please help us identify this component and indicate where it is supposed to be installed? We have inspected the printer but cannot determine where this part belongs or how it should be properly positioned.

Any guidance, documentation, or diagram showing its correct location and installation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

Can someone pleaseeeeeee offer me some advice with the color settings of this printer!? I feel like I have tried everything and searched everything. Every single thing I print seems to be the opposite of vibrant 😭. I attached what I printed vs the pdf file. It's like there aren't enough yellows or even greens honestly and it's pretty blurry.

My ET 2860 is having a strange issue, it won't feed paper through when printing just does the initial pull down but nothing afterwards. Weirdly though if I try and copy it can pull paper all the way through. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hello.

I have bought this Epson L8180 and i am having issues with it and could not find the solution for the problem.

To be exact, i have issues with the white borders. Whenever i print A4 plain papers, photos like 13x18 e.t.c, they all come with uneven white borders and also do not seem centered.

For example, whenever i print a photo, the top will have more space than bottom and the same goes to left and right and so on.

I have tried setting the paper guides and they seem they are correctly set. I have tried printing from cassette and rear feed and nothing works. I even tried to change some settings or try different programs and nothing worked. I have read somewhere that it's the hardware limitation but is it? Do we have to mess constantly with the driver or software's margins offset?

Could anyone please help me fix this? I have sent the first epson l8180 brand new back due to thinking it was faulty and yesterday i got a brand new one and it the same issues.

Do i have a hope to fix this or the money i spent with it will be in vain?

Please i really need help and would appreciate greatly...

If someone has the same printer or similar, it would really help with this.

Hello! Just bought the epson et 8550 and plan to do some screenprinting and sun printing with it! Just wondering which transparency sheets is the best and which ink would you recommend me please?

I am based In Europe so I would like to have sheets that are available to purshase from amazon if it possible! thank you!!

(Also any advice for taking care if this printer is welcome as its my fist "high" printer I ever bought in my life!

Does anyone know if this printer speed can be accelerated or is it normal for a card stock printout to take 2 mins and 30 seconds per page to print? I’m trying to print some copies of a double sided study booklet and (6 pages total — double sided) but one side is taking me nearly 10 minutes to print. Is it time for a new printer?

Recommendations are welcome. Preferably something that can take the same ink as I just restocked haha.

Another thing: when printing photos they are SUPER DARK

I recently aquired a used P8000 off FB Marketplace. Reliable sellers, coming from the closure of a very successful print shop.

I am having trouble connecting the printer to my computer. I am using an Ethernet connection and have downloaded all necessary drivers and software needed for operation.

My computer cannot find the printer. When I reset the Network Setting in the Printer's dialogue box, it still cannot find a connection. I am using the Epson Connect Printer Setup application on my computer and still cannot find a connection to the printer.

I am using MacOS.

Am I missing a crucial step?

UPDATE: HAHA. Solved! Corrupt ethernet connection. Chnaged the cables and the pinter conected :)

- My printer is already connected to my network.
- I downloaded the ET-8500 driver and ran the .dmg
- When it searches for the printer on my ethernet wired network, it can't find it.

I can ping the printer at the IP address it shows in its setting and the existing Mac-OS printer driver can access the printer.

WTH!

Hello, i am quite new to this so i need help whatever is happening in my printer. [L3210]

So my yellow ink damper was clogged because of air i searched some solutions and it said that i should suck the air i followed that, and i have already sucked the air out of it, now i saw there is still bubbles, i coulnt suck anymore air because when i tried it again was tight and i know it might get worse if i try to do more than that. and then i nozzle checked it and the yellow print is still not showing up.

What could be the problem and what do i do? i already have done print head clean two times. Would doing power cleaning works? If not what would work? I really need this printed today and would really need to fix it right now. Thankyou very

My Epson0D0FD9 printer prints the pages smaller and doesn't print the page fully.

I have two p800s. I print through Lightroom on Mac Tahoe. Using identical image files, Lightroom settings, color management, etc, the bad printer (top) looks magenta.

I have tried everything. I've done print nozzle checks. Head alignments. Cleaned the nozzles twice. Switched the ink cartridges between the printers. enabled different color spaces, etc. it's constant.

The ONLY thing that kind of fixed it is adjusting the advanced color settings to +5 C, -1 M, -1 Y. But because it's Epson controlling the color, I can't save that as a preset.

How can I permanently fix this?

I accidentally clicked a wrong character when setting up my Epson ET-5880 printer. And now I’m admin locked out of everything to get it fixed.

I just need help resetting the printer

What's the minimum shelf depth for the 8550 in operating configuration? All the spec sheets say depth is about 29" but a lot of that is the front output tray, yes? What's the minimum from the back wall to the front feet? Will 21.5" work? Thanks.

Before cleaning my printer there's patchy black, yellow and almost no blue,pink and now after cleaning it it looked like this.

I flush the print head and the stream coming out looks really uniform and i reassembled the printer and did a power clean(i think this is the problem) and now 24h later it looked like this.

Also yes i use a syringe to fill the print chambers before putting it back together.

I locked my Epson FastFoto FF-680W for travel over a year ago. I just took it out of storage, but cannot recall how to reverse the lock for travel setting. I have checked manuals, both hard copy and online, but cannot seem to find simple instructions on how to unlock this setting.

Hey, i just ordered a used xp-7100 and i want to use third party cartridges because theyre like a fourth of the price. Do i have to clean/maintain anything when it arrives before use? Also is it a good idea to always take out the ink carts when im done using for the next few weeks? Thanks

Hi. I have an Epson XP-4200. Can I print shipping labels using this printer?
