    Penaltys for opting out of HP instant Ink?

    I purchased a HP Inljet Envy Photo7858 Printer a few months ago and enrolled in the 'Instant Ink" program witout doing much research. The printer stopped working because I didn't purchase additional cartridges. After complaining to a chatbot then a real agent i was 'rewarded' by receiving a...

    Epson WF-2750 Missing Lines

    I'll consider this query closed. I think that I have learned as much as can be gotten. I performed the cleaning routine described here and it works fior the most part - primarily printing B/W pages. confusingly I can't work it for poly-chromatic stuff. Because I work mostly in B/W stuff...

    Epson WF-2750 Missing Lines

    Clogged printhead? The subject printer continues to print with several horizontal lines missing. I've done the "clean te print head" routine a half-dozen times and no improvement. Yes - I am using after-market ink. Is there another routine to use? Can I manually (not the printer utility)...

    WF-2750 Printer all-of-a-sudden SLOW

    WF-2750 has started printing very slowly - maybe 3-5 minutes or so for a simple BW text file. Kind-of like it is printing a high quality color image. It used to spit out these text documents in a few seconds. What has caused the printer to perform so slowly?

    Epson WF-2750 printing unwanted header

    Recently my cited printer starts each print job with several lines of header that I don't want. The first line is "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" followed by 3 additional lines that show what appears to be the IP address and some additional identifiers. Total of 10 lines in groups of [4-space-3-space-3]...

    Epson WF-2750 won't print from certain apps

    Further info. This appears to be a software issue. I tried again by deleting a second printer (Epson 640) and the process continues to try to print to the 640. How do I direct W10 to print to the 2750 only?

    Epson WF-2750 won't print from certain apps

    Epson was good to replace a defective printer. The old printer would print regardless of the source. The replacement prints a good test page and will print from MSFT Word and several other apps. But it will not print a PDF or a browser page. I think the printer is okay and will copy and...

    Best consumer-level printer that also prints CD/DVDs?

    I'm aware that there are CD/DVD printers that cost several hundred dollars. What I'm looking for is a reliable photo-printer that also prints CD/DVDs and that is at the non-professional price (i.e., <$200). I started with an HP printer several years ago and when that died bought an Epson 610...

    Epson printer is basically useless - any recommendations for another?

    I've had both Epson and HP printers. My most recent is an Epson 610 and 640 printers. After trying after-market ink for the 610 and having problems, I decided to purchase another 610 for common jobs given that I already had lots of after-market ink. Found that the 610 is no longer made, so I...

    Epson 610/640 printers print but won't scan

    I'm PC. So the scanner function has a different driver from the printer? I'll check and see if there is a scanner driver and reinstall if there is. There are several scanner apps that are installed and I've looked at them all. One is "Epson scan settings" and it returns the 2 images attached...

    Both are wireless printers connected with excellent wifi connectivity according to the front panel LCD. I can print to either, but both won't scan with the message "Communication Error" check if a computer is connected" I tried the unplug/replug on the 610 and no difference. What do I need to...

    Nozzle check pattern with broken lines even after nozzle cleaning

    Epson XP-610. Printer test pattern shows banding so I perform a nozzle check, which indicates that nozzle cleaning is needed. Had the printer go through the nozzle cleaning routine and the nozzle check pattern still says cleaning is needed. Is there some way to physically clean the nozzles...

    I have an XP-610 and just ordered an XP-640 - need education

    Because I need the DVD print option I purchased the 640. So now I have the two almost identical Epsons, the XP-610 and the XP-640. After doing all the setup alignments for the 640, I decided to print a picture to examine quality. I made an error and put the photo paper wrong side up. Now I'm...
