The buttons on the touch screen panel do not press. There seems to be cork like substance, which has come off in some keys. Could this be the problem?

work force pro printer 4630: Problem downgrading the firmware of an Epson WF-7840

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:20:41 -0700

Good morning everyone,

I've had the bad idea to upgrade the firmware of our Epson WF-7840 (version CD17M6 now).

Now, our non epson cartridges are not recognised anymore.

I've search the web about how to downgrade the firmware. I found the procedure, found how to put the printer in "recovery mode" and, on the Epson website, I found the "Recovery Mode Firmware version CB08LC" for the Epson WF-7840.

But it doesn't work...

First problem, the model of the printer does not appear in the "Epson firmware updater" but it sees that a printer is connected.

Second problem, and it is where it stops, when I launch the Update, it fails with a message on the printer's screen "Data file not found".

I tried with my mac (macbook pro 16" m1 max) and with an older macbook pro from 2009 with the same result. I tried with another USB cable and still no luck.

What am I doing wrong?

HP Deskjet 3522: HP Deskjet 3522 control panel ribbon cable connection location

Canon G3010 Printer: The line/letters are broken regardless of colour everytime I print

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 21:35:45 -0700

There's a white line or gap on each line of documents I printed. Is it a printer head problem? I already done deep cleaning from the printer and also it took few minutes to be done (not the usual 1 - 5 mins in the manual). I also tried ink flushing but it doesn't improve, i only wasted more ink. So what should I do? I haven't tried cleaning the cartridges with cleaning solution and I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to identify the real problem or should I just spend and buy a new printer head.

(The colored and black cartridge both have this problem)

Brother Printer: hl--l2395dw no power after surge

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 13:49:37 -0700

Sorry used generic device name device not found. After a home electrical repair (household) my printer does not power up. The plug is not removable so that's not something i can swap. device does not power up on outlets that are proven good. Is there a component (fuse or power supply that can be swapped to fix this printer?

Just for background my device was connected to the outlet when the electriction "tested" turning on power.

Epson Stylus Photo 1400: Epson won’t power on

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 07:47:32 -0700

The red paper feed is a solid red. It won’t turn on when power button is pressed Epson tech said it could be a blown circuitry component (Epson response below). Does anyone know which part I need to replace?

Has there been any power outages in your area recently? Have you tried connecting the printer to a different outlet? Based on the symptom the printer seems to have a blown fuse in the circuitry components.

Epson Printer: Epson L386 reset to factory settings

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 13:25:40 -0700

Hello,

I have an Epson L386 printer, connected to wireless network.

Unfortunately I made a reset to router and now I don't remember my previous password.

So at this point I can't connect my printer to network. I am searching for hours, and

I still haven't figured out how can I reset my printer to factory reset, since it is not connected to network.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Brother Printer: Brother printer prints faded black text but color pages look normal

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 13:06:41 -0700

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

My Brother printer has started printing very faded black text, but color prints still look completely normal. Photos and colored graphics come out fine, yet black documents look light and patchy. Sometimes there are faint horizontal lines across the page as well.

Here's what I've already tried:

Ran the built-in cleaning cycle several times.
Checked that the black cartridge isn't empty.
Removed and reinstalled the cartridge.
Printed from both Windows 11 and my Android phone.
Updated the printer driver.

The strange thing is that the problem is exactly the same regardless of which device I print from, so I'm wondering if it's a printhead issue or something else inside the printer.

Before taking it apart, is there anything else I should test or inspect? Has anyone had a similar issue with a Brother printer where only black output is affected?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
