I gave an Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer to a friend. I had used it for
about two years (purchased in March 2001), and it worked flawlessly. It
also worked well for her for awhile, then suddenly began to print everything
only in tones of red. Does anyone have any ideas about what would cause
this problem and how to correct it? I do know she is still using the
cartridges that were in the printer when I gave it to her. I know more than
she does, but I also don't know much about printers other than the basic
configuration. Could older cartridges cause such a problem? She knows very
little about hardware, and I would like to get some ideas before I drive in
and look at it. She says that she pressed some button on the front of the
printer immediately before this happened, but she can't remember what she
was doing. It seems that she was sending controls by using the front of the
printer instead of using software for that purpose. She is using Win
XP-Home Edition and has been using the printer exclusively to print
photographs.
Thanks,
