Epson Pro 3800 Prints Blank Pages.
I removed the head and cleared the nozzles thoroughly. All cartridges are full. It makes all the right noises and moves but prints blank pages. I have checked the connections I can see and am wondering if air is trapped in the nozzles. Please help.

If your Epson Pro 3800 printer is printing blank pages, there are several possible causes for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:
- Check ink levels: Make sure that the ink cartridges in your printer have sufficient ink. Low ink levels or empty cartridges can result in blank pages. Use the printer's control panel or the printer software on your computer to check the ink levels.
- Verify print settings: Ensure that the print settings are correctly configured. Open the print dialog box on your computer, and confirm that the printer is selected and the appropriate paper type and print quality settings are chosen. Make sure the "Print in Color" option is enabled if you're printing a color document.
- Clean print heads: The print heads may be clogged, preventing the ink from properly flowing onto the paper. Use the printer's maintenance utility to perform a print head cleaning cycle. Refer to the printer's user manual for specific instructions on how to access and run the cleaning process.
- Perform a nozzle check: A nozzle check will help determine if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. This test pattern allows you to identify which colors are affected. Consult the printer's manual to find the instructions on how to perform a nozzle check. If you identify any clogged nozzles, you can usually run the cleaning cycle again or perform a deep cleaning process.
- Update printer drivers: Make sure you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. Visit the Epson website and search for the Pro 3800 printer drivers specific to your operating system. Download and install the latest drivers and software, then restart your computer.
- Check the paper and loading: Ensure that you are using the correct type and size of paper as specified by the printer. Improperly loaded paper or using incompatible paper can result in blank pages. Make sure the paper is loaded correctly in the paper tray or manual feed slot.
- Reset printer settings: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can try resetting the printer to its default settings. Refer to the printer's user manual or Epson's support website for instructions on how to perform a factory reset.
If the problem persists after trying these steps, it may indicate a more significant hardware issue. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Epson customer support or seek professional assistance for further troubleshooting or repair options.
