Windows 10: printer will not print shows that IT IS out of paper but it has paper. printer is HP color...

I am trying to print two sided which the printer has been ding just fine for five or six years. It seems to be trying to get me to flip the paper manually but it has always been doing that automatically in the past.

Printer not printing if plain paper

Hi, I've both an Epson XP-960 for general printing, and an Epson 3880 for my large photo prints. Anyway, in your properties page you show, what do you have for "Quality?". Make sure is says "Standard" in the dropdown menu.





Are you loading the paper from the tray or somewhere else?

Edit, if nothing works, you may need to reset the printers control panel - page 219 of your owners manual. Bear in mind, this will probably mean setting up the printer again to include Wi-Fi/Network connectivity.

 

Out of Paper error but printer has paper

Yes to both. The thing is, when this happens, the printer is out of paper. So we replace the paper and all of the Windows 7 machines go "oh, ok, the printer has paper again" and start printing.

Windows 10 though doesn't. It might start printing again in 10-15 min, or it might never until either the PC or printer is restarted. It seems restarting the printer sends out a signal it is good and Win10 acknowledges, but Win10 won't acknowledge the "i
have paper" signal.

I would like win10 to quit trying to be so smart and just print it. It is a network printer so the server is holding the spooled data anyway if the printer is down. Why is Windows 10 stopping it from printing my jobs?
