Re: Epson 1800 Printing blanks My 1400 is doing the same thing and it worked perfect yesterday so I know the heads aren't clogged. I'll let you know if I find anything but I'll be watching this thread closely otherwise...

Re: Epson 1800 Printing blanks I'm not sure I understand.... Do you mean spitting out blank pages and not printing at all?

Re: Epson 1800 Printing blanks I read the manual and it said that if is going through the printing motion but doesn't actually print then the heads are clogged. There is a quick cleaning cycle described. It worked temporarily so i'm still looking for a more permanant solution.

Re: Epson 1800 Printing blanks are you using a bulk ink system or carts. odds are that the nozzles aren't clogged. Rarely are they all clogged at once. It could be a damaged or loose ribbon cable.

Re: Epson 1800 Printing blanks I would look for a cut or bend in the cables. I thought of a couple of things you could try first is. Cleaning the capping station and cleaning the encoder strip.

Re: Epson 1800 Printing blanks Are you out of ink? Sorry if that seems stupid but it is the obvious first question?

Re: Epson 1800 Printing blanks On the second thought, this might be stupid but have you tried to re-install printer driver? I have seen similar issue before and you need to remove driver completely, restart operating system and re-install driver.
