- Espon C80 not printing black...color ok.
- Posted by Brian on December 10th, 2003
Hi,
Our black cartridge ran out a few days ago. My son was printing a birthday
card which was all color; printed fine. I purchased and installed new black
cartridge. Now it will not print black text at all.eg. word documents..etc.
However the color is still working if I try an print a greeting card.
I've only use Espon cartridges. I've also tried cleaning the printer noozles
via the Epson software.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this. Warranty just expired 
Thanks Much,
Brian

This is a ridiculous question but I'll ask it anyway-
You took the yellow tape off the cartridge before inserting it into the
holder?
Otherwise a vacuum lock occurs and no ink goes in.
Think I'm silly eh?
After changing my own oil for more than 25 years a couple of summers ago I
forgot to replace the oil cap.
That was a lot of rags cleaning up.
It happens.
