  If your Epson printer isn't communicating with the computer, check that the interface cable is securely connected to both the printer and the computer. Ensure the interface cable specifications match those for both devices. Also, verify that the printer driver is installed; if not, install it. Try plugging the USB cable directly into your computer's USB port.

  If your Epson printer is unable to feed or eject paper, do not use wavy or curled paper. For roll paper, cut off any wavy or curled parts before reloading. Ensure the paper specifications are compatible with your printer. Load cut sheets vertically and after selecting Cut Sheet from the Paper Type menu. Open the printer cover and check for paper jams or foreign objects. Do not use damp paper. Try lowering the Paper Suction. Always use new paper.
