Title: Epson NX430 printing blue streaks
Post by: samstamport on October 07, 2016, 08:29:17 AM

I am using Windows 10 running on a DELL Optiplex 780.

My Epson NX420 printer prints pale blue streaks along with text. Actually it looks like a an over-sized highlight. Ink was not low, but I replaced all four cartridges and the problem persists.

I ran through the head cleaning and other utilities. They did not fix the problem.

Have done  a Google for:

Here are a couple I found:

That might be a start.

Thanks for the help.

Looks like it's time to buy a new printer. This one is about three years old. I guess I got my money's worth.
