When your Epson printer is not printing black, it can be frustrating, but there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Check Ink Levels: Ensure that the black ink cartridge has sufficient ink. Replace or refill the cartridge if it’s low or empty.
Run Print Head Cleaning: Use the printer’s built-in print head cleaning utility to unclog any blocked nozzles that may be causing the issue. This feature can typically be found in the printer settings or maintenance menu.
Perform Print Head Alignment: Aligning the print head ensures accurate ink placement. Most Epson printers have an automatic print head alignment utility that you can access through the printer settings.
Verify Printer Settings: Check the printer settings on your computer to ensure that the print job is not set to use color ink instead of black. Make sure the grayscale or black-only option is selected.
