Assuming you did all troubleshooting procedures, chances are the magenta and yellow 'heads' are burnt.\nYou can return it to the store. However, depending on what had happened to the cartridge, they may or may not replace it.

you may have clogged cartridge, clean nozzles 2x.  If it still does not work call Epson Tech Support and they will probably send you a new one.   If you can't wait just replace it and they will send you a new one anyways.  Save the old one sometimes they want them back to test them.

I've read some reviews on this printer, and they all say if one cartridge dries out or is empty, it will not print anything.  You may have to invest in new cartridges.\n\nhttp://www.stormlabs.com/Cameras/Photo_Printers/Reviews/595026/id/17781/

Did you tried Epson.com, don't tell me you didn't.\nOk If you already did and searched for this printer/scanner in the database. I think you still can search for it on one of the drivers' sites (like Driverguide.com), Actually this is one of the biggest I have seen in Drivers database.\n\nGood Luck

Make sure your cartridges are installed correctly.\n\nWhen they are run an alignment.

I have seen this happen before with HP deskjets and I reinstalling the printers drivers did the trick each time.\n\nTry to get the most recent drivers of the printer manufacturers website.\n\nGood luck!

Go to the Brothers website and download the drivers for that printer.\nYou may also be able to download the book for it.

This must be problem with print head. Nothing wrong in the computer or printer driver. Clean the print head with distilled water and lint free clean cloth. Instead of water some solvent like Diluted Iso propile alcohol or Ammonia solution may work better. Try it. Hope your problem will resolve.\n\nBy the way "How frequently you use your printer?" The problem with all kind of inkjet printers are if not in regular use, the head gets dried up and all its nozzles are getting clogged up with dry ink.

check your printer settings.  MS Word did this to me as well and I had to restart the computer and reset all of the printers settings to default.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nTom

Assume you have checked your print cartridges? If three colors in the one cartridge you need maybe to replace it as the yellow and red are all gone?

The blue and yellow ink might have been finished.So, only pink(no other option for the printer) color is being used instead of all colors.Get a new Ink Catridge.\n\nCoz all the colors are made from 3 basic colors..so basically there are three basic color outlets in an Ink catridge of a colored printer.\nThus if two most used colors get exhausted, you get everything in the third one.

Problem :\n\nThe printer is working, but the printed output shows smears or smudges of ink or the image itself is smeared.\n\n\nSolution :\n\nTry increasing the ink drying time or decreasing ink volume. \nOpen Director, then click Settings, Print Settings, then Printer Settings. \nThe printer Properties dialog box opens.\nClick the Basics tab, then the Advanced Features button. \nClick and drag the Dry Time slider toward More or the Ink Volume slider toward Light. \nTry decreasing print quality to Normal or Fast. \nOpen Director, then click Settings, Print Settings, then Printer Settings. \nThe printer Properties dialog box opens.\nClick the Paper/Quality tab and choose a lower print quality setting. \nTry a different paper. Heavier weight paper may not smear as easily as lighter weight paper. \n\nIf none of the steps above have solved the problem, print and evaluate a self-test report.

This sounds as if you have connected the printer, but have not loaded the drivers.  Or, you have replaced your printer and have not set it as the default printer.  \n\nTry going to your application's printer set up.  You should have the option to select the default printer as your new one.\n\nI hope this helps.
