My Xp200 Wont Print Black?

I just replaced the black ink thinking that was it. It shows that the black ink is full and hooked up but it will not print black.

Hello rileymc,

If you are sure the black ink is correctly housed, there may be a problem with the print nozzle or print head.

If you have not performed a maintenance check already, you can use the following link to take you to the epson support page for performing the Print Head Maintanence on your device.  

Once on the page you will see two options. Open the Printer Nozzle link first and choose the "Checking with the product button" and follow the instructions.

If this doesnt clear your issue, then go to the "Cleaning Print Head" link  and choose the same  option as the first one "Checking with the product button". 

Now, if the printer issue isnt resolved after this, there is one last page I can suggest you review for a possible solution. The following link will take you to this page 

Fixing the Epson 'Prints Blank Pages' Problem

If, after all of this you STILL have an issue with the printer, you may want to consider a new purchase on a printer. Sorry to have to say that. 

Hope this helps


Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.
