Canon G3010 Printer: The line/letters are broken regardless of colour everytime I print

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 21:35:45 -0700

There's a white line or gap on each line of documents I printed. Is it a printer head problem? I already done deep cleaning from the printer and also it took few minutes to be done (not the usual 1 - 5 mins in the manual). I also tried ink flushing but it doesn't improve, i only wasted more ink. So what should I do? I haven't tried cleaning the cartridges with cleaning solution and I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to identify the real problem or should I just spend and buy a new printer head.

(The colored and black cartridge both have this problem)

Brother Printer: hl--l2395dw no power after surge

Sorry used generic device name device not found. After a home electrical repair (household) my printer does not power up. The plug is not removable so that's not something i can swap. device does not power up on outlets that are proven good. Is there a component (fuse or power supply that can be swapped to fix this printer?

Just for background my device was connected to the outlet when the electriction "tested" turning on power.

Epson Stylus Photo 1400: Epson won’t power on

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 07:47:32 -0700

The red paper feed is a solid red. It won’t turn on when power button is pressed Epson tech said it could be a blown circuitry component (Epson response below). Does anyone know which part I need to replace?

Has there been any power outages in your area recently? Have you tried connecting the printer to a different outlet? Based on the symptom the printer seems to have a blown fuse in the circuitry components.

Epson Printer: Epson L386 reset to factory settings

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 13:25:40 -0700

Hello,

I have an Epson L386 printer, connected to wireless network.

Unfortunately I made a reset to router and now I don't remember my previous password.

So at this point I can't connect my printer to network. I am searching for hours, and

I still haven't figured out how can I reset my printer to factory reset, since it is not connected to network.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Brother Printer: Brother printer prints faded black text but color pages look normal

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 13:06:41 -0700

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

My Brother printer has started printing very faded black text, but color prints still look completely normal. Photos and colored graphics come out fine, yet black documents look light and patchy. Sometimes there are faint horizontal lines across the page as well.

Here's what I've already tried:

Ran the built-in cleaning cycle several times.
Checked that the black cartridge isn't empty.
Removed and reinstalled the cartridge.
Printed from both Windows 11 and my Android phone.
Updated the printer driver.

The strange thing is that the problem is exactly the same regardless of which device I print from, so I'm wondering if it's a printhead issue or something else inside the printer.

Before taking it apart, is there anything else I should test or inspect? Has anyone had a similar issue with a Brother printer where only black output is affected?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Brother MFC-240C: Colour cartridges full but not printing

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 10:13:14 -0700

I've been using this Brother MFC for some time and I've been quite happy with it.

About a year ago I noticed that colour images would only print black and white.

My settings are to full colour. The cartridges are full and in good condition according to the ink refill place.

Not sure what else is going wrong.

Actually, I updated the question to reflect the proper model is all.

I regularly hear the printer doing the automatic head cleaning.

I just wonder if it's possible to submerge those bits in rubbing alcohol or some other non-water source to remove clogs/build up.

Canon Printer: Why is my paper jamming every time?

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 14:29:48 -0700

It seems like the paper is entering the printer unevenly because every time I try to print, one side if the paper will get jammed. There is nothing stuck in the printer to make it do that. Other than the paper jamming, the printer seems to be working just fine.

Epson Stylus L380 CISS Printer: How to solve Multi-page feed error during Duplex Printing?

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 21:56:27 -0700

I am having problems duplex printing with Epson L380 model. After each page is printed, it says "Multi-page feed error", then I have to manually press the copy button to get it to print again. I have to print 200-300 pages at once, so this is really inconvenient.

I don't think there is any issue with the hardware because its printing single pages without any problem, just the duplex printing is causing problems.

I want to add to this... I am also having problem with the odd page/even page printing. Every 15 pages or so later, the printer will skip a page, thus completely disturbing the page sequence. The vendor has not been able to give any solution. Wrote to Epson, got no reply yet (it has been two weeks).

This problem is occurring in Foxit PDF reader as well as MS Word, making the printer practically useless to me.
