Epson Stylus DX4400 Printer Solved

Question

Hello,

I bought a multifunction EPSON printer, Stylus DX 4400, three weeks ago.

It is relatively easy to use, and it has 4 cartridges inside: one black and three colors.

After about fifteen copies, the black cartridge (T0711) apparently ran out, so I went back to see the seller,
quite surprised by the few pages printed with the cartridge.
Actually, I found out that the cartridges sold with the printers are not filled much.

I bought a new one, but after exactly 32 copies and 4 small color pages, surprise, the cartridge is empty again :(

So now I'm starting to fear regretting my purchase.

Does anyone know more about this? They have a capacity of 7.4 ml, although that doesn’t mean much to me.

Also, I had to do some research on Epson's technical support to figure out how the scanner works
(there are only 2 double pages of explanation in the box, which are really not enough!)

I hope you can provide me with information on this subject, thank you very much in advance!

I bought the Epson DX 4400 printer and I no longer have the installation software. Plus, I reformatted my computer and I'm stuck because I can't install it anymore...

Hello,  still no response to my issue, please?

naomex · Answer

Well, I don't really know much about it, but the amount of ink lost in a cartridge per print depends on the print quality... so try adjusting the print settings.

Hello, I bought an Epson DX4400 printer and I have no color ink left but I have a full black ink cartridge, and it's impossible to print. It says at the top "printer busy." Can you help me please? Thank you.

Hello, I bought an Epson DX4400 printer and I’m out of color ink but have a full black ink cartridge, and I can't print; it says at the top "printer busy." Can you help me? Thank you.

shirou · Answer

Hi Aurelie,  yes, I indeed have this problem as well. If by any chance one of the three color cartridges runs out, then it’s impossible to print, even in black!  Can someone please help us out?

In general, if you cannot find the necessary drivers for the installation, you need to go to the manufacturer's website:

https://www.epson.eu/support/?lng=en-GB&data=lkuCfcvA9cxyWBIk5wgudU1phznTXNb4&tc=6#7

you download the drivers and install them, they replace the original CD

I have the same problem with my DX4400. It refuses the DE-ET0711 cartridge from WOX. The indicator is always red and it always displays "printer busy." Help!!!!

djyly · Answer

Hello, I also have a printer like that and the same situation. The seller told me that the first cartridges were half filled; I repurchased the four (50 euros) and I've made 2 color prints (full page) and nothing else  I can't print anymore. I think I'm going to give this one away and buy another one that is more economical, but I don't know anything about it! If you could give me some information on a good one. Thank you.

SYFRAN · Answer

I also have a dx440 and I have no problems with it. Regarding your "busy printers" that cannot print, when you request to print, a window should open showing the tasks being processed by the printer, otherwise you need to make it appear by clicking on the printer icon that appeared during execution. As for me, since I am on a Mac, I see a window titled with the printer's name showing the active or completed tasks. As long as the active tasks are not completed, the printer will be blocked. So I recommend canceling and deleting all these tasks and I think it will work afterward.

SYFRAN · Answer

I forgot, I don't think the dx4400 prints if any one of the cartridges is empty.

halas271 · Answer

Dear SYFRAN, even though all printing tasks have been canceled, the printer still displays "busy." I believe the manufacturing date of the generic cartridges has something to do with it.

Hello everyone,  even though I didn't get many responses to this message...  I've noticed that this printer, even though it's Epson, is really very, very cheap. Yet it's part of a purchase deal from the big supermarkets we know so well.  I also think I won't sell it or give it away (how embarrassing), but I'll simply throw it in the trash, as that's the only place it belongs!  Thank you.

Hello

I have a problem, when I want to print a text that fills the whole page, the printer prints it very small.
Moreover, when I go to "Print Options," everything is written in German.
I don't understand anything!!!
Would it be possible to change the language...?

jules · Answer

I just bought this Epson Stylus DX 4450 series printer... thanks to all of you I was able to work around the recurring issue with my disk drive and now it works well... finally almost. Indeed, I can't find the scanner or its function?? There must be a little (or a big) button already ready for scanning...??? Thank you in advance for helping out a not-so-skilled guy.

jules · Answer

Hello  I tested removing one cartridge out of the four and it still prints without going into error or blinking..  In short, nothing happens and the document comes out fine   Is it a miracle!!!!

serena · Answer

Hi everyone, I love your advice, and in general, you always have the answer. I just bought a PC that runs on Vista and a DX4400 printer that I haven't installed yet simply because I've always worked with XP and never with Vista. My question is simple: do I need a driver for Vista or can I use the driver I found in the box that is for Microsoft Windows Version? Thanks in advance to all of you and hugs!

titi83 · Answer

Hello, The latest generations of printers (after April 2007) cannot use certain compatible cartridges... You can find these 100% compatible cartridges on this site:  www.cartouche-et-encre.com  The cartridges are reliable, inexpensive, and are refunded in case of a problem... Therefore, the risk is zero... I hope I have helped you!

Eros · Answer

It's not to reassure you, it's a mess regarding the printing with this printer, the cartridges are small and thus have low autonomy. What I do is print in draft mode except when it's an important document. Yes, you can regret it, sorry, but it's the same for me. Anyway, we are in a consumer society and it's more interesting to buy a new printer because the price of the cartridges is almost as expensive as the printer itself. Hang in there.

Lina · Answer

Hello! Well, I have a problem because the printer is not compatible with Vista! I would like to know how I could solve the issue (probably by downloading something), but it’s important to know what!

Hello, I also have a little problem with this printer: I changed computers and I'm now on Vista. I reinstalled it, but the language is in German! How can I change it?

oeil de lynx · Answer

Hi everyone,  I own the EPSON DX 4400 printer, it's a money pit and a huge scam. The cartridges are very poorly filled, so it prints very little. It often shows a cartridge empty error even when you have replaced the correct cartridge. Furthermore, if you replace just one EPSON cartridge with a generic one, your printer will indicate low ink and ask you to install an original one. So, you're forced to change all four to generic or all four to EPSON, or individually from the same source. Additionally, if you switch from EPSON to generic, the ink quality is poor (color mixing), so you have to clean your print heads. But cleaning your heads will drain your cartridges at an alarming rate. It's a vicious cycle. Conclusion: A SCAM.

jeanmarcb · Answer

Regarding the Epson DX 4400 printer, it is true that it is of very poor quality.
I bought this model as part of an offer from a supermarket for €45.
Installed at my home upon return, it already didn’t work.
Returned to the supermarket the next day, it was replaced for me
immediately: impossible to print a single page.

The cartridges run out very (too) quickly.
In fact, it's a drain for a daily user.

Best regards.

Good evening everyone,

I have read all your messages. Fortunately, I haven't had these installation problems. But the ones that have appeared, and that await you, are a very well-oiled scam. When the printer indicates that one of the four ink cartridges is empty (even though it isn’t), nothing prints anymore. The printer remains inactive and urges you to quickly buy replacement cartridges! These little cartridges are equipped with a small chip on the side that sends a count (I don’t know how yet?) to the printer. Just turning it on, along with the nozzle cleaning, which happens without your permission, triggers a count. If you turn it on, the manufacturer assumes you are going to print!
Personally, only using the black cartridge, I printed 6 A4 sheets. On a forum, someone luckier than me managed to print 14! I also printed a color photo (20x15 cm) of my granddaughter. The three color cartridges are half empty.
In short, imagine you printed two or three photos with a lot of red and the magenta cartridge is empty; tough luck if you want to print a letter in black and white. Even if you refill it, it will still be considered empty.
At an average price of 9.99 euros per cartridge, buying five or six cartridges (TO711, 12, 13, and 14) would cost you the price of a new printer.
I have made my decision: I empty a cartridge, I collect the unused inks to add to my bottles, and I can’t wait to throw this dishonest Epson away.
P.S.: On eBay, a person from Brussels has the nerve to sell this printer for 90 euros!
Thank you for reading my message.

Good evening I'm still unable to get my scanner to work. I have a shortcut, but it still doesn't work and it's not recognized. It says it’s impossible to connect to the scanner, check the connection and select the scanner. The connection works fine since everything else is functioning except the scanner. Thank you for your response.

Hello I bought the same printer as you and it did exactly the same thing to me, and a salesman told me it was a defect of this printer. Now, when I want to print something I can't anymore and I'm unable to change the cartridges. I really regret buying it.

carmelo · Answer

I know one thing, it's that there are several types of cartridges that are more or less filled. I have a Canon i560 x. The black one contains 26ml and the colors, 14.5 purchased at Carrefour, and some compatible ones.
The ones from Lu are also with a chip, cheaper and with equal capacities, there you go, see you later.
And it ranges from 13 to over 14 ml.

Hello,
I have a problem with my DX4400 printer. The indicator light came on to let me know that the black cartridge was empty, so I changed it, but the light is still on. Furthermore, now it tells me that two cartridges are empty (Black & Cyan). I don't understand how the second cartridge could have run out in the meantime???? What should I do?

Thank you in advance.

eolch · Answer

Hello
I have been using the Epson DX 4400 with Vista for a year now. I use it for my work, several times a day; indeed, the ink level indicator drops very quickly. However, at home, I am asked if I accept to print even when the black cartridge is empty, and if I say yes, I can still print hundreds of pages until the ink is insufficient on the paper.
On the other hand, since I haven't needed the scanner until now, I'm asking you the question: how do I get the scanner to work?
Thank you
And if you have any questions, I am at your disposal.

caillou · Answer

Yes, I have the same problem with my cartridges running out very quickly.
I got this Epson Stylus DX 8400 from my daughter.
But I realize, like you, that the cartridges are very expensive.
I think that buying the device initially is interesting, but afterwards we just keep changing the cartridges while doing very little with it. It's a scam; I’m disappointed.
I think at this price, it's better to buy a new machine while carefully considering the capacity and the price of the cartridges.

papapony3 · Answer

Bonjour, je voudrais savoir comment faire fonctionner mon imprimante Epson Stylus DX4400, parce que j'ai perdu mon CD d'installation, merci.

tiger53 · Answer

The ink cartridges used with Epson printers contain an electronic chip. Without it, the cartridge is not compatible and the printer rejects it. This chip includes a counter that indicates to the printer the number of "possible" prints left with that cartridge. Every time you print a document, the printer's software decreases this value by a certain amount. The printer does not rely on the actual amount of ink but on this counter to decide when a cartridge is empty.
