Printing

Hello,
I was having a problem printing. Nothing black was
printing out and color was faint.
My printer (epson stylus photo 820) alerted me that my
colored ink was low. It showed the black ink level at a
little more than 50%,and still does. I replaced the color
cartridge. Now I can print color but nothing black prints
out (still). It's a new printer(6 months)and has not been
used all that much. Can anyone help!

Thanks!

Eva-Marie

of cleaning the printheads also to align them.

Eva,

I have the same printer and I think that the problem is
your print head need cleaning. This model printer seems to
have a problem with the print heads clogging up, mainly
when used infrequently.
Right click on the printer icon on the right side of
the taskbar, then select "nozzle check" from the menu. Be
sure you have paper in the printer then run a nozzle
check. This should print out six different colored boxes
(1 for each color of ink in your printer. More than
likely, you will either be missing some of the boxes, or
there will be "banding" (horizontal lines) in some of the
boxes. You'll then have to clean the printheads. To do
this, right click on the printer icon again and
select "head cleaning". After you clean the printheads,
run nozzle check again. If there still is banding or
missing colors, keep recleaning and running nozzle check
until the problem clears up.
The problem here, is that every time you clean the
printheads, you use ink doing it. If I plan on printing
photos, I always run nozzle check on a piece of plain
paper first to make sure there's no problem so I don't
waste good photo paper (and a lot of ink) on a bad print.
Any problems or questions, please email me at the above
address as I don't frequent this website regularly.

Ron

Just got windows xp and have tourble getting it to print.
I have a compaq IJ750 and when I try to print just one
page from a doucument, it stops responding. I can prinit
the whole file, but not a selected page from it. What am
I doing wrong? According to the guide, I should be able
to print by clicking on the printer icon, but that
doesn't work. I can only get it to print by going to
Print this file.

It should be printing at the same size as the webmaster used to design the
page.

I have got an Epson Stylus C40S, and I cannot get any
colour on printing. I have carried out a nozzle check, a
head cleaning process. The cartridge is showing half
full. Can you assist please.

Ensure your black ink cartridge isn't empty. Run a maintenance cycle (see
your printer manual for instructions).
