HELP! printing problems

**step22** · October 28th, 2007 09:53 AM

When I try to print a certain document its prints but there is no print output as like that there is no ink but there are . when you check its ink status is half full. And no error message or the like appears. I already used the troubleshooter but I cant find the problem. I also tried to print a nozzle check but it printed but with an empty paper as a result. I also cleaned the print head. I also reinstalled the ink cartridges, reinstalled the software but still same problem. What could be wrong? By the way im using Epson stylus c45.

could bea clogged ink nozzle or damaged ribbon wire leading to the nozzles. Have it checked at an epson service center na lang.

dont bother having it serviced. sobrang mahal ng fee nila.

It's best to buy a new printer.

If you print mostly black documents, get a laser. there's a Fuji Xerox for only 3,500 in the malls.

disposable po ang C45. More expensive to have it repaired... kung naclean head mo na yan at wala pa ring lumabas na ink, malamang sira na ang head nito.

The model is Fuji Xerox Docuprint 203A. Its toner is rated to print around 2500 pages before running out. I have ours refilled for 1500 pesos. New toner is around 3500 pesos. Note that this printer has a seperate drum that is supposed to last 12500 pages. Our printer is signaling that it needs a new drum but have not found one yet. No idea how much. It still prints.

kung ganyan ka konti ang ipiniprint mo, don't buy an ink jet. ink jets tends to dry-up and clog the heads pag hindi ginagamit regularly... (as in at least once a week merun ka dapat piniprint).

go for a laser or a dot matrix instead.
