Hello,

I have 2 Epson Printer...a 1520 and a C84. Today I tried to print on
the 1520 and no black would print. I know about the clean head utility
and ran it but not even a spec of black. So I tried the C84 and the
same thing happened. Both printer would print color, but not black. I
deleted all the drivers for the printers and even deleted the drivers
for the parallel cards (I have 2 parallel cards and tried them both
with no success) and reinstalled them. Still no black. I don't know
what would cause Windows to not print black, but the fact that it
happened to 2 printers on 2 parallel cards on the same day, means that
it's probably not the printers. Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
I suspect this is coincidence, and both are having clogs or are low on
black ink.

Please email me (using the address I posted this from as shown in the
header) and request the Epson Cleaning Manual, and perhaps the
information in that will help you to resolve the problems.

I find it one of the most frustrating things about Epson printers. IMO
they are the best printers and media in the world but frustrating by
very poor equipment not build to professional standards and they have
proved unrepairable.

Too much trouble with them down through the years, Epson were quite
happy to throw another printer at me, but I want the problems solved
and Epson don't seem to have the resolve to do this.
