Epson DX3800 printing problems

[maxieblue]

Have a Epson DX3800 printer/copier/scanner. Printed fine on Saturday - yesterday it made all the right noises but pages came out blank. I have done all the cleaning programs and still nothing prints. I have also changed all the ink cartridges but still nada. I went to download the latest driver but got the message that the driver I had was the most up to date version - can anyone help please. I am using Vista

Might seem a stupid question, but have you made sure that the pull off tabs are fully off?
Alternatively, take out the cartridges and look at the bottom that plugs into the print head. you should see a tiny amount of ink around the little circle where it plugs in.

It wouldn't print with the old cartridges, which weren't empty. I did remove the strips yes - don't know what the matter with it was. don't think I will go with Epson again! thanks for the suggestion though
