Hi, I have a Epson C48 printer, which has a button for bringing the 'carriage' out to let me change the CARTRIDGES when the ink has run out.
Lately, I have been trying to get the printer to get the cartridge cradle in the middle (by pressing the red button) usually it stops in the middle so I can change the cartridges when they run out, but now
it keeps stopping or hesitating in the middle, then makes a 'clicking' noise and goes BACK into the right hand side of the printer stopping me from getting the OLD cartridge out and putting a new one in, at the same time it wants to 'eject' a sheet of paper from the printer instead of going in the middle for the removal of the cartridge so if I try again to get the cradle going it ejects the paper instead.
Would appreciate some help with this.ThanksReally, really, basic, and I apologize. Unplug the printer, and leave it unplugged for about thirty seconds or a minute. When you plug it in again, does it still do the same?

Do you have the manual available? Are you able to make the printer run a self test or self diagnostic?Another really basic. If you turn it upside down and shake it does anything rattle or fall out (like maybe a foriegn object)?
(I don't think this will hurt anything if done gently. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong).Serena,The suggestion by Aegis can often overcome the fault (usually associated with an unfinished task). However it may require a process a bit more in depth if that doesn't do the trick. Go to your add/remove programs and uninstall the associated printer software. Then using your manual and follow the sequence as if you were introducing the printer to the computer for the 1st time. I would not recommend turning upside down and shaking the printer (no matter how gentle). You could also remove all the paper from the tray and start the printer it should BRING up the out of paper warning and then while still on add the paper and it MIGHT then try to complete the task that is presently causing the problem. I would try Aegis's solution 1st then mine.truenorthQuote from: lectrocrew on July 27, 2009, 09:15:56 PM
