Epson photo stylus 750

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi

I have an Epson Photo Stylus 750. Yesterday(Sunday). I did some printing, a
few pages of a letter. When I went back to the printer all the lights, three
red and the green stop/start were flashing. When I go to utility it does not
show anything in the 'window'. I have tried the usual remove power and the
usb link. I have also removed the USB from the hub and made it direct to my
MAC. Nothing stops the flashing. The printer carriage does not travel
across.

I would be grateful for any advice

Thanking you all

You have probably reached the waste ink pad protection numbers.


Please email me with the details of exactly which LEDS are flashing in
what manner and what colors at:

e-printerhelp(at)mvps(dot)org


(at) = @

(dot) = .

I will likely have a cure for your printer.

Hi
I took the top off and removed the inks. This did not improve things. If I
press cleaning the inkset does not traverse to the normal refit point. Any
other ideas?
Cheers
