If the problem continues to exist and the printer is still unable to print black then check printer ink levels to determine the ink volume in your cartridges else follow the below-listed solutions one by one to solve the problem.įirst, we need to check the volume of the ink available in different ink cartridges.
A dialog box will appear, set the paper size on the dialog box and other suitable settings and click on the print test page button.After turning on the printer go to the printer settings click on print a test page option for test running of your printer.After some time reconnect all the interface as well as USB cables and hold down the power button to turn on your printer.Now check the availability of paper in the printer.Also, plug out all of the USB cables connected. Turn off your Epson printer and disconnect the interface cable between the computer and printer.There are some simple and straight forward steps listed for you to follow and troubleshoot your printer: Troubleshooting methodsĪt first, you need to follow some troubleshooting methods in order to identify why your Epson printer is not printing black and to solve it. One of these methods must help you fix this problem. Now we are going to demonstrate the solutions for these issues one by one in detail. Its ink costs are high, though acceptable for very low-volume use.There can be various reasons responsible for this issue, however, some of the main reasons for this issue are listed below: The Stylus NX420’s LCD and its wireless capability are features not often found in this category, but otherwise this MFP is budget all the way. While some printers offer a higher-yield option, Epson goes the other way by offering what the company calls “moderate-use” cartridges, with even lower page yields–and higher costs–than the standard-size supplies: The $12.34 black lasts 200 pages (6.2 cents per page), while each $8.54 color cartridge lasts 220 pages (3.9 cents per page), making for a 17.6-cent four-color page.
A four-color page would cost about 16.5 cents. Its standard-size cartridges include a $15.19, 265-page black, which comes out to a middling 5.7 cents per page each $12.34, 340-page color cartridge costs an above-average 3.6 cents per page. Ink costs, depending on how much you print, will eventually nullify the Stylus NX420’s bargain purchase price. When we opted for higher-quality print modes and Epson photo paper, we got much better results. At default settings our text samples looked realistically black but fuzzy around the edges, while photos appeared washed out. The Stylus NX420’s print quality suffers on plain paper, even the nicer-quality Hammermill Laser Print stock that we use for most of our testing. A simple one-page copy took 17 seconds (about average), but a mix of full-page and partial-page color photo scans were noticeably slower than the mean.

Our high-resolution, near-full-page photo printed on the Mac took over 3 minutes to print (0.3 ppm), another below-average time.
#EPSON PRINTER DRIVERS NX420 PC#
Snapshot-size photos printed on the PC at a midrange 3 ppm on plain paper and a subpar 0.8 ppm on photo paper. Standard-quality text pages printed at below-average speeds of 5 pages per minute on the PC and 4.9 ppm on the Mac. The Stylus NX420 was a mediocre to slow performer in our tests. The bundled Easy Scan and Easy Photo Print applications are capable, though their utilitarian interfaces are better suited for experienced users beginners might wish for more hand-holding. However, you will find a few surprisingly advanced features, namely wireless connectivity and a 1.5-inch color LCD screen. The MFP lacks an automatic document feeder for scanning or copying multipage documents. Paper handling consists of a low-capacity 100-sheet vertical rear paper feed and a simple, letter/A4-size flatbed scanner. The Stylus NX420 sits squarely in the home and student user category. Competitors include the Canon Pixma MP495, which costs a little less, and the HP Photosmart e-All-in-One, which costs a bit more but offers cloud-based apps. Since its ongoing ink costs are high, however, it’s not exactly a bargain, making it best for light use only. The Epson Stylus NX420 color inkjet multifunction (print/copy/scan) provides good output, decent performance, and wireless connectivity for just $100 (as of November 1, 2010).
