Why am I getting lines across the page when printing on my Epson CX3200?

Question

I am having trouble printing, I am getting lines across the page when I print. Can anyone tell me what is doing this?

Answer 1

Use head cleaning facility. You may have to do it several times, but that's what it's there for and it works. You will see if it is clean if you then use 'test'

Answer 2

your cartridges may be getting low. or, as with many epsons, your printheads may be getting badly clogged.

if you do not wish to do several head cleaning cycles, you may want to try this:

take out the cartridges. using q-tips and rubbing alcohol, gently hand-clean the print head cones (should be one for each colour) until the q-tips start to come out relatively clean. then put the carts back and try another test print.

if this does not help, you may need new carts. if replacing the cartridges does not work, you might need to call epson for some warranty support.

Answer 3

Could be the printer has gone funny. Could also be that you need a new ink cartridge (most likely). Also, try cleaning the print head.
