Printer won't print
Right, its time for me to print my Science project but i have run into a small problem. My printer plays up. Whenever i go to print it just prints out blank pages, even though there is text on the page to be printed.
What can i do about this?
Printer: Epsom Stylus C70 Series

Re: Printer won't print
Have you tried these:
- turn off Printer and leave for 2 minutes. Then restart.
- Turn off PC and reboot.
- See if it will print a test page.

Re: Printer won't print
If it has been along time since you have used the printer, the cartridge can dry up. Try taking the cartridge out and holding it over a steaming kettle, this can sometimes help unclog it

When my HP printer software tells me the printer's out of ink that means that in reality it has about a month to go

You could have said this in your first post - I was thinking it wasn't printing ANYTHING....

Re: Printer won't print
It's like pulling teeth  So what you printing from - what software?

Re: Printer won't print
be honest, now, Wayne
- is it a refilled or 're-engineered', cartridge?
Epson printers have this thing with a chip, which registers the print head with the ink cartridge. (or they used too?).
If that gets 'out of synch' on a re-filled cartridge, you may show ink remaining in an empty cartridge - or perhaps, even a full cartridge may not print ?

Not a problem - just means we should approach the problem from a different angle.
Are you sure there isn't a problem in the document somewhere ?? like page breaks inserted I mean? Something like that.
If it's not to big/personal you could post the document or send it to someone to have a look at to dismiss that possibility.

Im guessing re engineered means bought and replaced? If so then yes. I have used it in the past with no problems.

I may have put a break in for the contents.
Edit: Tried removing the page break and it hasn't made any difference.
