Title: Forbidden Media?
Post by: KeithR on December 20, 2018, 12:59:24 pm
Ok, a bit of background. I print only on Canson paper (cut sheets)  on an Epson 4800. Had a new head installed last June(2018). Running PS & LR(latest updates) in WIN 10 (64bit). Everything was fine a couple of weeks ago when I printed a few prints as presents. Then last weekend, I was all set to print and the printer wouldn't  accept the paper. The LCD on the printer alternated between "Forbidden Media From P. Tray" and "Feed Sheet Paper Manually".  I shut everything down and started over with the same result. So this morning I took the printer in to the repair place that replaced the head. (Computer Labs - they are an authorized Epson large format repair  firm). They just called and said that they could find nothing wrong! Cycled on and off, ran prints, etc. No message on the printer LCD screen or anything. could the slight jarring of the trip to the company jarred something to make it run the way it should? Or is this an issue with the new updates that I PS & LR automatically do with the Adobe Photographers subscription?

Keith - Stop printing on satanic media!

Usually this problem occurs when you try feeding cut sheet media from the paper tray rather than a manual feed slot.
