Cleaning Rollers
When I print a page, a vertical line gets printed down the whole
length of the page. Is it possible to clean the rollers as I think that is the problem? I have an Epson Stylus C40 Plus printer. |

Can you load a page and unload it without printing something on the page.
Than you will see if there is still a line on the paper. "Peach" schreef in bericht m... When I print a page, a vertical line gets printed down the whole length of the page. Is it possible to clean the rollers as I think that is the problem? I have an Epson Stylus C40 Plus printer. |

If you are sure that the print head didn't move over the paper than the
rollers or another part in the printing path is dirty. In that case you should clean some parts. If you can watch the paper feeding with the lid opened it's more easy to see were the dirt or ink is coming from. Sometimes there's a instruction in the manual of the printer that says how and with what it should be cleaned. Normally they say a damp lint free cloth or a cotton swab, but some printers and inks need more heavy cleaning and some tell you to use isopropyl alcohol, but you have to be sure this won't damage the printer. If the print head still moves it's a printed line and then it's probably a software problem. If you are using Linux on your system that what's causing it. This is what they tell you at Epson: "This problem is caused by a rendering program of CUPS. Therefore, the problem is not avoidable. We have confirmed that the problem occurs in 1.1.14 version of CUPS." Updating your software of changing the driver to a newer or older version may help even if you're not using Linux. If you've recently installed new software and before that you didn't have the line printed, the new program could be the cause. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee Purves" To: Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 12:37 PM Subject: Cleaning Rollers There is still a line on the page even when the page is blank, any suggestions?
