why will i not get a printed copy even though it has ink and goes thru all the motions of printing but comes out blank

As a former technology manager, I would have a lot more questions for you. Has the printer worked before? If so, does it not print in any application. There's also the classic - turn EVERYTHING off (PC & printer). If still no good, what about making a copy - pull the USB cable and make a copy - if it doesn't copy - it's either the printer or possibly the ink cartridge is not snapped in properly.

I don't know why, mine has done this also, and then if I reprint the document it will print twice. I think it has something more to do with my slow connection.

Yep, about the time my printer got to it's third set of ink cartridges it started acting up, it wouldn't print anything red and it went through ink at the speed of light. Rather then spend time, money and my very thin patients on what turned out to be a bad choice in printers, I donated it to my local charity and bought an Epson Workforce 2540 and have been very happy with it's performance so far.....

It stops printing if there are any empty cartridges. However, you can use a feature that mixes all colors together to make black ink. Or just replace the black when it empties; but you have to start with all the cartridges. If all you use is black, then all you need to replace is black.

perhaps you have a defective printer, but mine works just fine ... open the front door, place paper on the tray, open the top of printer, and ready to print ... if it keeps jamming, I would request a replacement ... good luck!

Check your warrenty. If the printer is still under warrenty you will void the warrenty if you use any ink other than Brother Ink Cartridges.

try running a print head clean with a new cartridge, otherwise you may need a new print head

I had the same issue. I took the ink out, shook it and unplugged the printer and replugged it. Good to go. Hope it works for you.

Unfortunately that usually the print head is ruined and needs to be replaced. I would not suggest that you do so and instead just buy an Epson Workforce printer which uses less ink and is far more reliable.

I think it has to be an inkjet. That is what I have and it worked great. It turned out really good. I made sure I had new ink in before I printed it. It worked out great.

Rob it won't work, once the cartridge is empty the printer will not print. so it's best to buy a new cartridge.

this is an old issue with epson printers. it is the printer - not the cartridge - which decides when it is empty. because third party cartridges often hold more ink, they appear to be defective. what you should try to compare is the page count. are you getting the same number of pages?

if it is the thin clear covering over the area the ink goes through to the printer you can leave it alone. The printer will get the ink. My first replacement was black ink and it was the same way. It will still work. I printed something first and then it recognized it. If it does not print using that cartridge...call or write the place that you bought your ink. I hope this helps and Happy Printing :D

If any cartridge is empty, the printer will no work. I always have cartridges on hand, but you should get a warning that one is running low

try taking the cartridge out of the printer and wipe the edge where the ink comes out with a damp tissue to get the ink flowing again; I have this problem with the color cartridge

Mine register as they have ink. But for me my printer hasn't printed right since I put them in. Even after returning to the regular cartridges now. I have to take it in to be looked at.
