    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Printer halp

    Wondering what might be causing this.

    My printer ran out of ink a bit ago. I replaced it, but it's not printing correctly.

    It's basically skipping the bottom part of a line (of text) every few lines. And it's the same lines every time. I've printed like 5 thinking the ink maybe had to get settled, but it's stayed the same. On top of that this printer is fucking retarded and I can't take the ink cartridge out because the "move the holder" button is shared with the stop button. and I think since it's not out of ink it only is registering the button as "stop".

    This printer is only about a year old, and I had to spend like $60 on replacing the ink, so I'm not up for just buying a new one yet. Any suggestions?


    Btw my printer is an Epson Cx7450.

    [edit] pic of what I'm talking about:

    Have you tried running the cleaning cycle(s)? I had one cheapo inkjet the other week that -brand new - was not printing color until the second level cleaning cycle was done.

    When this ink batch dies I would look into diy refills or laser for next time.

    Laser + photo printer and never looked back.

    ya I should, hopefully it breaks before then though. I have a hard time getting rid of something that works perfectly fine. XD
