Hello all,
I have an Epson Workforce 610 Printer and it has been skipping lines when I print text. About every 4 lines of printed text, the printer seems to skip 4 more lines of text, the first and last of these "skipped" lines of text seem to be almost half printed and slightly smeared, as if the printer tried but failed to print them. It does it for a full page of text, the whole way down the page, all using black ink. I am also using a Windows 7 desktop computer to connect to it wirelessly, and I am sure that all software is up to date. I also tried restarting my computer and unplugging and re-plugging the power to the printer to power cycle that.
I have printed a full paged picture of space, that had mostly black. The whole thing worked and was fine, even though it was mostly black (had some colors too, but again, no problems with anything when I printed that).
I have replaced all the old ink cartridges with new ones. The problem still persists. I also cleaned the cartridges' contacts and the part of the printer that pierces the cartridges. Problem still persists.
I tried a Windows Test Page instead of my full page of text I was trying to print. The Windows logo printed fine, but the text on the page suffered still. I have also tried to print from both Notepad and Microsoft Word, both suffer the same text skipping problem.
I tired printing a page of text in blue instead of black. The whole thing printed just fine in blue for some reason. It also seemed like it took about double the time to print the text in blue than when it was "attempting" to print the same page in black.
I also ran the printer's head cleaning program. Problem still persists.
Thank you all for any help/ideas/thoughts you have about this problem! I am ready and willing to perform any more tests if any more information is needed.
