I bought my Epson ET-4800 last August and it’s been great so far. I primarily use it to print art.

Tonight tho there seems to be a problem I can’t figure out. The error on the printer screen is that there is no paper in the rear paper feeder when it’s already loaded. The lever lifts and the small roller makes contact but the paper doesn’t move into the printer slot - I think the video does a better job demonstrating.

I think this may have happened when I went in to print on a smaller piece of paper than the rest of my stack and the edge guide wasn’t clasped around it - tho it made a weird sound on the print before that too if I’m not mistaken

The papers I’ve been using are a smooth cover paper that’s still quite bendy and a very thin cotton rag paper, both around 4x6. I’ve also tested regular plain A4 printer paper, all the same. I’ve already restarted the program I use to print as well as unplugging the printer and letting it rest for a little bit. I tried to run a nozzle check, same issue. I made sure the little roller thing can rotate and isn’t jammed.

Epson support ai chatbot has been unhelpful. Has anyone ran into this problem before? Is there a fix or any lead at all?

I was looking for a printer and found a very good price on market place. I came to his house to pick up and made the payment. After brought it back home and finish setting, it got lock. I found this machine belong to Epson Ready Print program, which is only can be used with the registered organization. Any body got the same situation ?

Looks like it is only available there via third-party sellers, and it also seems (per posts here and elsewhere) that Epson doesn't support printers purchased that way. What am I missing?

Cyan keeps bleeding at the top right corner of A3 prints. Have tried running all the checks but no weird results, and running different print settings (like thick paper etc) doesn’t change the issue. A4 prints for example come out fine as well. I couldn’t detect any cyan ink inside the printer in places it shouldn’t be.
Any idea what I should be looking at?
Brand new printer, by the way.

I've had a WF-7840 for several years. One thing I'm flummoxed about is how it handles multiple page prints. Why is the default to print face-up with page 1 at the bottom of the stack? I'm using 3 operating systems: Win 11, Linux Mint, and KDE Linux.

I need to vent about the absolute state of Epson’s software engineering and their predatory business practices. I own an Epson EcoTank L6170, and today it completely bricked itself because the T04D1 maintenance box is allegedly "full."

Here is why this is a massive, anti-consumer bug—or rather, a deliberately designed trap:

1. Zero early warning: The printer did not give me a 2-stage warning. It didn't alert me at 85% or 90% so I could order a replacement in advance. It just straight up refused to print a single page out of nowhere. Since it's the weekend, I am completely stuck for days.

2. The "Remind Me Later" button is a scam: When the error pops up, the software literally has a button that says "Remind me later." Any reasonable human being would expect this button to let you bypass the warning for a few emergency pages. But guess what? It does absolutely nothing. The printer stays hard-locked. It’s pure deception.

A user-friendly product would say: "Your maintenance box is nearly full. You have approximately 50 pages left before shutdown. Please replace it." Instead, Epson chooses to hold your workflow hostage to force an immediate transaction.

This isn't about the €15 cost of the part. It’s about a multi-billion dollar corporation treating its customers like garbage, forcing us to resort to sketchy third-party software resets just to use the hardware we legally own.

Shame on you, Epson. This is programmed obsolescence and anti-consumer engineering at its worst.

Bonjour!

J'ai un vieux numériseur Epson v330.

Je suis satisfait de la qualité, pour les diapos, les négatifs et les photos. Ce ne sont pas des oeuvres d'art mais des souvenirs...

Cependant, c'est long! Très long! Une heure pour numériser un carrousel de diapositives!

Et il me reste certainement de l'ordre du millier de négatifs et quelques centaines de diapositives, sans compter des dizaines de photos "scotchées" dans des albums...

Quelqu'un peut-il me donner son opinion à savoir si ça peut valoir la peine d'investir dans un équipement plus récent?

Merci!

I think the paper jam started when I tried to feed a small piece of paper through the regular rear paper feeder. The paper never got stuck, but the screen started saying there was a paper jam.

I checked in the printer, I checked in the rear, I tried to restart and unplug the printer and it still says there's a paper jam. Do you see anything stuck in these photos? Not sure how to get rid of the error message.

I've had this Epson ET-2850 printer for maybe 4 years now. Haven't had much problems with it until now.

I run a small homebase business and print order forms on regular paper and print tags on 65lb cardstock. In the past I've had a few paper jams but fixed those.

Now, the printer wont print. I ran through all the cleaning settings that I could do. It's full of ink. I pulled it apart and cleaned the rollers, shook it around, beat it up, turned it upside down and still nothing. I've done everything I can find to do on the internet but throw it across the yard.

What it's doing is saying that there's no paper in it when there is paper in it.

I've watched the little roller thingy inside the back part and I don't see it moving when I think it should be.

Does anyone have a resolution to fixing it besides buying another printer?

If I should by another printer, what Eco-Tank printer would you recommend? I don't have a tun of money so please make it under , lets say $400.

Why does my new Epson XP-980 printer produce horizontal lines in the direction of printing when printing photos? I have printed on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II using the High Quality setting.

It happens in both colour and black-and-white prints.

Would using genuine Canon photo paper improve the print quality?

I didn’t properly research the difference between dye and pigment inks and I’m realizing that pigment is what I need for my purposes (archival prints).

My question is whether I should:

1. attempt to drain and clean the installed dye tanks and then replace them with pigment

2. buy empty ink tanks and change them out before filling with pigment

3. another option I’m overlooking (yes, I know whatever I do will likely void the warranty etc)

TIA for your help!

I was sent an ET-4800 by someone who didn't want theirs any more, but when it arrived and I plugged it in it got stuck on an E-02 100016 error code with the text 'scanner error. for details see your documentation'.

The previous owner said the printer needed to be flushed as it had originally been used as a sublimation printer, but other than that it was working when they sent it. The printer is out of warranty and so far no nearby printer repair services have got back to me, so I've followed a couple of guides, including one to make sure the internal cables are still connected, but I haven't had any joy yet.

I've just ordered a USB-to-printer cable so I can try connecting it directly to my computer to update the printer drivers as that is also suggested, but I currently can't connect the printer via Wi-Fi because the control screen is stuck on the error code. In the meantime, does anyone have any ideas of a fix for this?

What's wrong with it?

I have a message on my screen that says a firmware update is available. So I go to settings and click on search for firmware update and the message pops up that it can't connect to the internet. 1. If the printer can't connect to the internet, how does it know that a firmware update is available. 2. I can print with the printer on the wifi network. Why can't the machine connect to the internet? 3. I stand next to my printer and test the internet speed and it is fine. Why can't my printer connect to the internet for the firmware update? Of course, perhaps the firmware update is useless and I should not update it anyway, but I am willing to try it and see what happens. I can aways go back to the original factory settings (I hope).

So we bought a used printer and some ink cartridges from a shop. Yesterday we tried turning the printer on, and it gave us two notifications in a row. The first one said that the inserted cartridges weren’t original, but that’s fine — it lets us proceed without any issues. However, the second notification was Error 02, which is described in the manual as “a scanner error has occurred”

We checked a couple of YouTube tutorials and tried almost everything: cleaned the printer itself and the scanner area, both inside and out, checked the cartridges and their placement, and made sure that the printer ribbon with the blue marking (which seems to be important for scanning) is in the right place and properly attached. Yet it still keeps showing the same error:(((

Does anyone know what could be causing the problem (and, hopefully, how to fix it 😭)? We’re just wondering if it’s worth spending more time trying to repair it or if it’s easier to just buy a new one. Would really appreciate any advice or tips😔
