Q. I bought a printer a few years back and hardly use it. One day while printing it makes a sound like it is printing, but there was no ink on the paper. What's wrong could you suggest me how can I resolve this?
A. Yes, this kind of problem generally occurs when your printer is not used frequently for printing purpose. The reason could be clogged printheads. Clean them first by performing a head cleaning followed by printing a nozzle check pattern. A head cleaning and nozzle check should be performed as a cycle. After printing a nozzle check pattern, examine the printed dot pattern to see if there is any improvement. Each of the staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If the gap remains, continue with another cycle. Perform up to four cycles if necessary.
If the nozzle check is not printing completely, and cleaning them doesn't help, try replacing the Epson XP-415 ink cartridges. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight this allows any dried ink to soften and then try cleaning the print head again.
