When the driver is outdated; install its newest update. After updating, the printer will find the required services and start working. But when the driver is not updating and showing errors then use the driver repair tool. If any driver files are corrupted; the repair tool will fix them. After fixing those corrupted driver files; your printer will start working. But when the repair tool can’t fix your driver then go for reinstalling. Uninstall that corrupted driver immediately from your PC. Now reinstall the Epson driver on the connected device and check for the printer’s error code.
Clean the printhead
If the Epson printer is not giving good quality printouts then you should immediately check the printhead. The user has to clean the printhead to remove the dried ink. This dried ink clogged the printhead and it started giving low-quality printouts. To fix this, the user has to run the cleaning utility tool and remove all the dried ink from the printer head. Now take a test printout and check the print quality of your Epson. Your printer can also show quality issues if you are using low-quality ink. Use only the original ink cartridge on your Epson. If it is costly then you can refill the original cartridges with high-quality ink and then use it on your printer.
Speed up your printer
The printer runs slow when you have connected it using a low-speed cable. Get a new and high-speed cable and connect the printer device. For the network connection, keep the printer near your router and it will print at a good speed. For black and white printouts; you can increase the print speed by reducing the print quality.
