Hi I have a Epson L1800 printer that is no longer printing. I have emailed the people who I purchased it from and they are not responding. Can anyone tell me what to do or how I can fix the issue? I have done so much cleaning and flushing out at this point I am drawing a blank and I have hit a rock! Please Help me!!!!

How old is the printer? Here's one thing I found ...

"What is the life expectancy of an Epson printer?"

"The average lifespan of a printer is around 3-5 years. With proper upkeep and maintenance, some printers can last longer, but eventually your machine will need an upgrade."

Look in the paperwork you received / booklet. Contact the manufacturer. Or Google the problem. That will often get you some good info.

yes and it just tells me to clean the printer head and to check the ink cartridges. I cleaned the printer head and I flushed out the tubes and still not luck.

Does it give you any error codes?

Maybe the ink cartridge is bad and not reading it right.

I had a Cannon that stopped printing after putting in a new ink cartridge and tried all the suggestions and turned out it was the new cartridge I put in.

Turn it all the way off and let it sit for a few seconds before turning it back on. Then try it again. Sometimes this can reset a computerized device.

Here are some things I found on the internet. This first one is some videos on various different problems.
