Problems With Printing - Epson Stylus Color II Reference Manual

Check that the printer driver's Brightness and Contrast
settings (PC driver) or Light/Dark setting (Macintosh driver)
are appropriate for the image.
If you scanned the image, the different color interpretation
technologies used by your scanner, monitor, and printer can
never produce an exact color match with the original image.
However, check your scanner documentation for utilities you
can use to calibrate your scanner to your monitor and printer to
more closely match colors.
If you are printing from a DOS application using economy
mode, black text or graphics will appear gray on your printout;
turn off economy mode to achieve deeper blacks.
Printing starts too high or too low on the page, or the page
length or margins are not what you expect.
Make sure you selected the correct Paper Size option in the
printer driver; see your Setup and Software Guide for instructions.
Use your software program to adjust the margins, or change
the number of lines per page, or change the page length setting
to match the paper you are using.
Change the loading position of the paper using Default setting
mode as described in Chapter 2.

Problems with Printing

If you cannot get the printer to print, first check that paper is
loaded in the printer. Then check that the printer is plugged
into a working electrical outlet that is not controlled by a switch
or timer. Verify that the interface cable is securely connected to
the printer and computer. If all this is correct, see the following
specific problems.
