online.. thru your comp.. start the "Status Monitor" ..\n.. it sits someplace in "Start" (if on Windows)\n\nOr simply go to the printer name in "Printers" folder & right click-> go to properties- then all thse tabs come up for "Head cleaning" "Nozzle Check" etc...\n\nThere.. a tab has status monitor...\n\nHowever, thru experience using my old Epson Stylus 1200\nI have come to know that its a bit waste as the Nozzle Check & Head Cleaning both deplete the bloody ink resorviors..\n\nI now, manually take them out \n[HIGHLY AVIODABLE AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THOU]\nto get a feeling as to how much is there which I can get since so many years..\nGive it a good shake & I put 'em back...\n\nThough unlike HP, Epson cartridge head doesn't get replaced each time, so its a big headache to try remove cartridge\n(one risks damaging internals as ink might pour out of gaping hole in cartridge- there is a certain trick jerky movement to get it out)\n\nPlus, lastly, the damn things sort of dry out even if printer left unused for under a month & so software may still detect a semi full thing as, one needing replacement

Did you tried Epson.com, don't tell me you didn't.\nOk If you already did and searched for this printer/scanner in the database. I think you still can search for it on one of the drivers' sites (like Driverguide.com), Actually this is one of the biggest I have seen in Drivers database.\n\nGood Luck

You don't.\n\nThe cartridge has a chip on it which tell the printer the cartridge is empty.  Unless that chip is reset there is no way a refilled cartridge will work in the printer.

I had a similiar problem on our POS printer.  I had to sign up at Epson's website and download the drivers for it:\n\nhttp://pos.epson.com/developers/index.htm

not sure what kind of printer you have, but some printers have a refresh button, try that.

your nozzle check is good.  Run a couple cleanings on it.  then check again.\n\nYou may have a priming issue with the bulk ink systems.  Epsons always need a little ink to remain inside the print head in order for them to print.   If the system is drawing back in after a print then you will have a void in the print head resulting in a lack of print.\n\nDo a few nozzle cleaning since those tend to use a little ink do your nozzle checks as well.  Trying printing immediately after wards.   Do a couple pages to see if there is improvement.  If that works then you have huge problem with the bulk ink system.  One that will eventually damage the print head beyond repair.

Look for water mark images by holding up to the light.  Look for plastic strip. Look for color changing ink,etc.

if its the same cartridge of course its the right one. maybe its empty? maybe the metal contacts have ink on them? maybe you should turn everything off and turn it back on? maybe you should open whatever software that came with your printer and begin the long and boring process of figuring out why your printer is acting stupid. .... try the easy ways first.

If you add the printer model and your operating system to this question, you should get better answers!\n\nMost printer programs will show you the levels in their troubleshooting screen.\n\nSometimes accessed by Control Panel > Printers & Faxes >\n\n*your printer* > \n\n(right click to) Printing Preferences >\n\n§§

Assuming you put some more paper in the tray, check the print spool queue to see if you need to restart the job that was intrerrupted.\n\nYou should be able to click on the little icon of a printer at the bottom right of your screen.

You can reset the default in your printer properties.  You can reset default in document properties.  You can individually check the color associated with each document as you print.\n\nhave fun, kiss the naughty kitty!!  What a funny question, thanks for the giggle.
