Used my photo printer last week and it was fine, now it is printing everything with a GREEN tinge. Would anyone know what the problem is? Googled it but couldn't find the answer.

I wonder if the heads need to be cleaned or if your ink is running out. I would try cleaning/aligning the heads first.

I have not had that happen with mine so I am no help, but what Patter said made sense...

I could be that your Magenta ink has run out or is low, but I would think that you would have been seeing a "low ink" warning message. I agree with Pater on cleaning the ink heads. Also try installing a new ink pack and see if that solves the problem.
I'm frustrated with my PM-400 right now because it's lost it's ability to print wirelessly. I have to physically connect it to my computer to get it to print and I can no longer print from my iPhone or iPad. Very annoying.

I have an HP, but when the color is way off it’s because an ink is low. My photos look bad before I get a low ink message.

Totally agree with realigning/cleaning the print heads. I've had my PM-400 for quite some time now and a few weeks ago, right out of nowhere, I got a terrible print. Funny because I actually printed a couple of 4x6 photos and then all of the sudden, a bad print. I cleaned the print heads and everything worked just fine. I am now getting a low ink message but I have printed a fair number of prints and haven't noticed any degrade in quality. I expect one soon, but for now I'll continue to print with the same cartridge until I get a bad one!

I just fought this battle with mine yesterday. Definitely clean the heads and check alignment. This is the second time I’ve had to do this and I’ve only had mine 6 months.

Your printer came with a software package. Epson has an Update, an online support, and a phone # 1 800-463-7766. It's where I go to find out what happened to my WP4530. It is usually a PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer).

I updated everything, then uninstalled and reinstalled everything, reset factory defaults, you name it I tried it and no dice. I also lost the ability to print wirelessly from my PC. It still prints lovely... but has to be via a wired connection and makes me curse it every week when I need to print my PL pics. |

Mine won’t print wirelessly from my iMac or HP either. Both of these machines are less than 6 months old. I’ve done the whole “update, remove, reinstall, etc. etc. etc.” routine multiple times. It works beautifully when physically connected. Such a pain. |

I had a similar problem with my Canon Pixma this week. I looked up how to clean the print head. I had to take it out and physically clean it off. It worked perfectly afterwards.
And for everyone with wifi issues, I had the same problem until dh upgraded our modem and router. It cost a few hundred dollars but in the end, it helped out all of us using wifi electronics in the house.

Hey pas2 ...what did you figure out? I ran a print head clean and realignment. I then had to shut everything down and restart because I couldn’t print from my ipad or phonr. That fixed the problem. |
