I'm using an Epson 1400 with some miles on it but I've kept it up fairly well. Am using the Carbon 6 inkset and nozzle checks have been quite good except lately for the yellow position. That cart uses a blue toner and that's the cart with some irregular nozzle patterns. Each sloping line...

@PeterBJ: Yes, thank you, I meant batteries. Paul

some folks have mentioned a powered hub... I'm curious, where does the power come from? A couple of double A's or something?

@The Hat : Please help me understand what these two terms mean: Thank you! @Paul W.

I got to the pop-up window... and the notification boxes were already checked. Strange....

A bit of OT here, sorry. But I'm not getting email notifications when there's some action here. I did check the boxes when I post a message.

Thanks to all of you... I've passed these on my tech person, some of your replies are beyond my abilities. I'm also trying to redo my work space... it's a small room. If I can figure out a different arrangement of my desk I may be able to simplify and use a USB cable.

I have an Epson 1430... when I'm printing a 68 MB photo, and my printer is connected via a USB cable, the print connects without a hitch. But when the connection is wi-fi, the print connects only halfway and then stops. Smaller text files, in the KB range, are easily handled. My room is rather...

Somewhere I noted the possible swapping of the two modes, printing a sheet of paper and printing on a DVD or CD. Actually someone else somewhere mentioned this too and my apologizes to who over that was for not mentioning him/her. And see my other thread, "linked ink inside a printer" for more...

BTW, I started two threads... same printer but different issues. I tried to follow the "one topic per thread" rule, but this time the two issues seem to have merged into one. So look at that discussion, too. Anyway, somewhere I mentioned that a) in the sheet of paper mode, the door made a noise...

Took my printer in yesterday, Monday, and midmorning today he called to say it was ready! Turned out to simply be a pair of wires was mixed up! Works like a charm now. My repair guy didn't charge anything, said he should have checked the DVD/CD tray at the previous job (Printer Potty had been...

Thank you, I'm a bit late. Some other household issues cropped up. I'll be taking my printer to my repair guy tomorrow (today is Sunday). He's very good, not the person who may have caused all this. I'll ask him to take a look at your good suggestions. Paul

sorry to be so late! I'll be taking my printer in tomorrow, and will show the tech some of your recent post. You have some good ideas, thank you! Paul W.

(I seem have started a monologue!) Yes, my 1430 continues to print... but that's with a sheet of paper in the tray at the back. But when I tried printing a DVD, the DVD/CD tray would not insert all the way, only about halfway. I didn't want to force it. I noticed when I opened the DVD/CD panel...

Actually, my 1430 seems to be printing fine. I ran a few test prints and they're quite good. So, friends tell me why worry? If it prints, why should I care about a little noise and carriage movement when I'm opening and closing the paper exit panel if I get a good print? I admit to being...

Well, I have some disturbing news. I remembered that a friend has a 1430, in fact I helped her buy it. We found one on Epson's refurb site. Went over to her house just now and tried out her printer. When I open the paper exit panel, her printer doesn't make a bit of noise, the cartridge carrier...

a clarifcation: in this phrase, "My 1400 never did this..." by "this" I mean the noise.

I just now set up my 1430, it's been in storage, carts had been filled with Piezoflush. Now I have ink in the carts and ran some test prints. My 1400 never did this so maybe this is just a difference with the 1430. Sometimes the noise is the printer carriage moving to the other end and back...

I finally took it in to printer repair shop and they did a fine job of fixing my problem. The Printer Potty tube had not been installed properly, it was pinched. So the ink nowhere to go and formed the puddle underneath. The tech freed up the pinched area of the tubing to allow ink to flow again...

I have a refurbed Epson 1430 which I bought a year or two ago. It's been "in mothballs", I had it set aside for the day my 1400 reached retirement age. The 1430 was stored with Piezoflush filled carts - I gave it a nozzle check once a month and they're usually perfect. Once in a while it took a...
