ARGH! Printer is stupid!

[neotoma]

I have an Epson Stylus printer. When it works, it's fairly good. But the ink was low and I had to replace the cartridges.

Now it doesn't print anything at all -- the ink is NOT flowing, even though I've set it through the 'charge the ink' cycle a few times. I'm about ready to chuck the stupid thing and look for a laser printer.

Erm. Based on personal experience: try taking the cartridges out and giving them a good shake, and while they're out, double check to make certain you've removed any and all protective film they may have put over the contacts and/or print nozzles.

There isn't any film that is removable. I shook the cartridges before I put them in, just as the directions said, and it just isn't working :P

Tried Googling the model number?
