Printing Problems

Post by johnM20 »

I have an Epson SX210 printer running from Windows 7. This has worked fine until very recently when for most (but not all), documents it will only print part of it and then stop, usually ejecting the page. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause and, even better, what the cure is.

Many thanks in advance.

On the maintenance settings on the printer (if it has a screen?) try some of those such as clean print head, nozzle check etc. It may be the actual print head then it works out cheaper to just buy a new printer.

How long have you had that one if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for your reply. I've hooked the printer up to my laptop as a test and it prints perfectly so is something to do with my PC that is stopping the print mid stream. It isn't anything to do with 'Maintenance'.

Try re-installing the software for the printer, mine came on a CD, :dunno: how yours came packaged.

Can you run a test print from Windows? The test print should print out one of those funny sheets with all weird symbols/marks on. Maybe try cleaning your registry?
