why Won't My Epson Printer Print Documents?
My Epson printer is not printing neither webpages nor docs. Although I can scan all files but when it comes to printing “Your printer is not ready to print” message displays on the screen. Because of this problem, I have changed ink cartridges but same error message pop-up when I start to print any document. My cable connections are also OK so please tell me how I can resume printing on my Epson printer. I am using Epson printer dx 4000 multi-function printer & Windows XP mate.
