Printer issues.

brightmoose6 said:Guys, I really need some help here.
I've got an Epson Stylus SX125 that I picked up about six months ago. I started using third-party ink cartridges and everything was running smooth. Then, the black one ran out, so I grabbed a new compatible one. Suddenly, the printer starts acting up—it claims the blue cartridge is empty, even though my computer shows the black one is totally full and fine. So, I went out and bought a brand new blue cartridge, but it's the exact same headache. It won't recognize the blue, and when I try to cycle through the cartridges using the button, it just gets stuck on the blue one and won't move to the others. What do I do?? http://i40.tinypic.com/55ier.jpg

Look, I don't want to keep repeating myself like a broken record, so just check out this link.

That should clear things up for you.

If that doesn't fix it, honestly, just take it into an Epson service center. They'll definitely be able to sort you out.

They usually offer free diagnostics if you go with them for a Colibri cartridge install, unlike most other shops or when you buy off-brand stuff.

I get what you're saying, but even if I wanted to swap out the colors—whether it’s yours, the original Epson ones, or just something else—I can't because the system won't let me pull them out. It's stuck, so I can't even get the first cartridge out, let alone the rest.

There isn't a single Epson service center here in Indianapolis. My only real option is to take it back to Best Buy where I bought it.😢

I'm pretty sure there's an option in the driver under >> Properties > Maintenance >> to replace the cartridges.

I’m dealing with the exact same headache with my Epson SX 125... Since I couldn't find a fix for that one, I decided to try and salvage my old Canon Pixma IP1500 instead, but now I’ve got a whole new set of problems. When I try to print from Nero Burning ROM, the track names come out fine, but the CD title just completely vanishes—even though the print preview shows it should be right there! To make matters worse, when I try to print text from Microsoft Word, it skips every third line and cuts off the rest of the text. Any ideas? Please help me before I throw this thing out the window!

But now this thing is acting up too. When I try printing from Nero CD Cover, the track names come out fine, but the CD title just disappears entirely—even though the print preview shows it should be right there. On top of that, when I try printing text from Microsoft Word, it skips every third line and cuts off the text mid-sentence. Any ideas? Help me out here.

Can you just scan that over so we can all see exactly what you're seeing?

OK?

Getting error 0x00000015 while I'm trying to scan... anyone know how to fix this mess?

I’ve got an issue with my Canon. My computer keeps insisting the toner is empty, even though I just swapped it out. Could this be an OS issue? I'm running Windows 8.

The OS doesn't have anything to do with it.

Any clue what we're looking at here? Multiple computers are connected to the printer, but this issue is isolated to just one machine...

Just fire up my printer—it’s that Canon software used for maintenance and diagnostics—and see what it actually tells you. Honestly, though, which printer are we even talking about here?
