The green light keeps on blinking and it does not print at all

The Epson printer green light flashing that means the printer is running out of paper. Stop the printing and remove the stuck paper in the paper tray. Find the solutions to fix the Epson printer green light blinking error.

Try disconnecting the computer from the printer and shutting it down by removing the power cord and then also shut down the computer for a minute or so and then reboot it and check in "Printers" and see if it has anything waiting to be printed and if so clear out the queue. Flashing green light indicates that the printer is receiving data from the computer and/or printing so you shut it all down and cold reboot to clear out the computer confusion in both the computer and the printer.

This just happened to me! I found this fixya and it didn't help me. So I checked the status of the printer and it was trying to print some 3,000 envelopes, OOPS!!! Needless to say I cancelled the job but it still had to go through all of the pages before cancelling and finally stopped blinking!

Printer Keeps flashing green light

This should help you. It details what the blinking lights mean and should allow you to diagnose what the problem is.

That is a service error code, but you need to count how many blinks between the longer green blink, and that tells the error code...

Try this:

1. Turn off printer (use button, don't unplug)
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not, press the Power button once more.

If this not help may the print head is defective.

It indicate that your print head may defective probably cause by electrical connection, u can try to unplug the print head and clean the electrical contact part with dry paper and install it back. Make sure the contact part is fix into the holder completely.
