Epson Stylus Photo 1270

The printer when you try to print gives the error that it is out of paper. The printer is not out of paper. I have uninstalled and re-installed the printer but still has the error. Can you help?

I have the same problem - with the Epson Stylus CX5000 - I think it's a sensor that doesn't work but don't know how to disengage the sensor - or where it is. It's brand new, but out of warranty because we never took it out of the box until now.

Printers have some sort of detectors in its paper trays to see if there is paper in it. This is usually a microswitch (you'll see a little finger in the bottom of the paper slot/tray) or a photoswitch (a small light and a photodetector on either side of the bottom of the paper). Try toggling that switch & also, fan paper, and reduce the amount of paper. This might work.

'nother problem could be a sliver of paper or something else that's preventing the printer from sensing paper.

Also, sometimes the "feed dog" (to borrow a sewing term) can get dirty or slippery.
