Epson R300- will not print.

[pippa93]

Hi,
I have a 3 year old epson r300, which is having a bit of a problem, as it will not print anything. When I try to print something there are no error messages that come up, and the little square box that you normally get at the bottom of the screen comes up, without any error messages other than low ink (which it says for when there is any less than 25% ink anyway), but this has never stopped it printing before.
The computer thinks that it has sent it to the printer, but the little print icon stays at the bottom right of my screen. There are no error messages on my printer.
I have a dell computer connected with a wire to the printer and the printer is also connected to my wireless network.

Can anyone help?

did you power down/up printer?

Does the printhead move back and forth?

Can you print a test sheet from the control panel of the printer (not the PC)?


If you can do the above things, more than likely its software related. If you see the LED's doing strange things or it wont come to ready, you have other issues. Also, try changing the cartridges anyway.
