EPSON COLOR 2 , NO COLOR PRINTING
I cannot figure out why my printer is not printing in color. Does anybody know how to check the print head to see if ink is flowing to and from. Epson tech help is useless. Black works fine. Have done cleaning cycle and put in new cartridge.
Check your printer setup to be sure you are calling for color printing.

This is the first thing I checked. I would expect more from an expert than just this.
You get what you pay for.
Does the "print test page" leave the windows "flag" unfilled or greyed in? If it is unfilled, your color jets maybe plugged. This would be a job for a "good" shop to fix. If it IS greyed in, then reinstall the latest printer driver. Good Luck...

Do you have more than 1 printer? I had a weird problem with an HP that wouldn't print in color unless it was selected as the default printer.
Good luck

Well if the flag is colored in black and verified that it looks like (filled in) when printed on a standard black and white printer AND you are sure that the latest proper driver is being used then you can assume that the color jets are not plugged. Because if the jet were plugged, the flag would NOT be filled in at all. Either something is wrong with the printer itself, or there IS a problem with the drivers. Are you using Win98?
