From: jw on 1 Dec 2009 17:07 I have inherited an Epson 3000 Stylus printer in pristine condition. It does not want to print in color, just black and white. Though the installation disk is specified as only for Window NT and before, I did find XP drivers that enable it to be recognized by my XP SP3. It connects via LPT1. I have tried cleaning the print heads to no avail. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this printer and might be able to suggest something to make it print color. Did I read somewhere that it only worked right for black and white? Doesn't sound right. The manual distinctly says color and there are three color cartridges. Duke

Art has a marvelous free manual to give extensive suggestions to what one can do to get the printer clear of head clogs. He has nothing to sell you and simply does this to share knowledge and elucidate folks that they can maintain their Epson printers and fix problems that happen. Ask him to send you the manual nicely and he'll most likely oblige in addition to giving you some other suggestions to help getting the color section of the 3000 running again. -- Jan Alter bearpuf(a)verizon.net

Thank you I certainly will! The Last thing in the world I want to do is to toss this wonderful looking printer. I only wish it were USB. Duke

�Doesn't sound right. �The > manual distinctly says color and there are three color cartridges. > > Duke Duke Sometimes with an Epson printer and Windows XP one will have to make the setup for B&W and color in both the printer driver AND on the XP Control Panel. So check the XP Control Panel/Printers & Faxes settings. Right click on the installed printer to bring up the settings I think it is. Every so often I forget to do this and mess up trying to print. You have installed the printer by going to the XP Control Panel! Bob AZ |
