Epson 740 printer stuck & noisy

Since replacing black ink cartridge, when I try to print anything, the moving "Cartridges Holder" makes grinding noises & won't or can't leave it's starting point, though it seems to be trying. Both black & color warning lights are on & paper light is blinking. I believe that the paper is fine. over the last week it has worked once or twice, but goes back to it's "stuck" Mode.

I guess I should mention that when I replaced the cartridge, in the way prescribed, it acted like it thought that the cartridge was full. The tray wouldn't stay "parked" so I could remove the old one & put in the new one, so I held it out & did the switch as quickly as possible. Is there some way to release or reset it?

You can try to manual reset your printer by pressing and holding LOAD/EJECT and CLEANING buttons,

press POWER button and hold it until you see the blinking INK OUT and PAPER OUT LED's

Release all buttons.

In 2-3 seconds press and hold CLEANING button, until all LED's will blink.

If you have no success with that try to hold down the paper feed and ink button and turn on the printer.

The paper light will light

Release both buttons and press the ink button for about 10 seconds until it resets.

Here is a great forum that discusses issues with your model. http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/...

But ultimately I agree with mayer. Sometimes we just have to part with things mostly out of economical reasons. It becomes almost impossible to get parts for the older equipment. Good Luck to you and let us know how it is progressing.

+ I debated on whether to go your way on this question but I looked at prices of the toner on my color laser printer, which exceed the cost of a new machine with toner included and went my way

Thank you both so much! I don't seem to have LOAD/EJECT or CLEANING buttons on my printer, so I tried the second method & things certainly happened! Unfortunately, it didn't fix things. I should mention that I only use the black ink to print documents, so don't need anything fancy. This is the 2nd old printer I've tried to use without any luck. I'm running an eMac OSX 10.3.9, so you can imagine, I'm running on a shoestring, holding things together with "chewing gum & duck tape". I just replaced my telephone, so everything is failing at once. In spring, when my seasonal nursery/gardening business starts up again, I'll see what I can do to upgrade. What's the scoop with the new printer that reports to have very low priced cartridges? Is the printer very expensive to start with? Thanks for all of your sage input! Lynette

Your printer is over 10 years old now. What you need to know is that the ink jet printer makers are in the business of making huge profits on refills. They'll sell you a printer a a loss. It's just not worth it to try to repair one if you have to spend anything on it.

Five Things You Need to Know about The Cost of Printing

• Cartridge prices are irrelevant unless you also know how many pages the cartridge will print. Focus on the cost per page, not the cost per cartridge.

• You can compare two printers' yields and costs per page only if their output was measured on the same tests—preferably the ISO/IEC standard.

• Your mileage may vary. Keep in mind that the ISO/IEC standard is based on specific pages that may or may not be typical of the pages you print.

• The current standard covers documents only. A separate standard for photos is being created, which will help give a more complete picture of ink yield.

• What matters is the total cost of printing, which includes the price of the printer plus the cost for all the pages you'll print over its lifetime.

Here's an example, From the Apple store you can get a new Epson Stylus NX420 All-in-One Printer for $99.95: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1411L...

Now here's the ink combo pack for $49.35: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/Produ...

I have an Epson 740 - works well. A few years ago, the cartridge carrier used to jam, and the machine would stop. I was advised to lightly lubricate the slider bar with light machine oil like 3in1, not WD40. Did that and it's worked ever since.
