Epson px650 printer

Hi don't know if anyone would be able to help but we have a problem

We use windows 10 pc. The printer was working fine with note pad etc but for some reason it won't print anything on note pad.. We have tried note pad plus. Microsoft word. But won't print anything. All though it will print from on line content.. We have uninstalled and reinstalled printer and updated drivers no luck so a bit confusing why when it was OK before so not sure. If it up to Windows updates? Or not
Thanks for any advice

 

Hi,

Seems MS are making a mess of printers lately, we had a similar problem some months ago.

If you follow this tutorial and "roll Back" the latest update you will probably find everything works ok.

We allowed further updates but thankfully did not experience the same problem again.

The Epson printer is probably not set as the default output printer device.

On my machine, the print function can send output to a virtual fax, OneNote document (I have MS Office installed), an XPS document and an actual HP printer.

Some times documents accidentally get "printed" to an XPS instead of a real printer. This was caused by me inadvertantly selecting the XPS device when clicking to print.

On networked printers, print failures are usually caused by an incorrect printer IP address. That is, your PC sends output to the IP address of where your printer is expected to be but the IP address of the printer has some how changed.

 

Thanks for your reply what I don't understand is all though it is set to default it will print a picture but not a text doc only if its off the net
What the printer. Does is it sounds and looks like it's printing but nothing on paper from text doc but a picture it will very weird

 

Hi,

If you google "Epson px650 printer only printing images not text" you will see lots of folk with similar problems, hopefully one of those answers will cure your problem ?

 

I've had three printers, first one worked ok it was simple last two have been complicated junk IMO.

Both hardly any use and ready for the scrap heap.

 

Thanks for the reply. Me and my wife has a pc each with 2 Epson px650 printers. With my it worked on all text picture etc. My wife's would not so as my wife could not use her printer I swapped hers for mine as it worked so I connected her printer to my pc still no luck I then formatted my windows 10 redone windows reinstalled printer no luck so I don't think this is a windows update issue.. I managed to print a nozzle check cleaned heads etc when I done nozzle check the black ink was not showing so it might be blocked all though we have used 2 new. Black cartridges no luck but I managed to print a black boot picture but nothing with text from note pad. Notepad plus Microsoft word etc..
I will keep looking around to find out what is going on
Thanks again for your help and advice
