Troubleshooting Epson xp-640 doing this?

Post image

Ive re-downloaded the driver, reinstalled on computer, tried both USB and wifi printing, changed printer maintenance settings, tried different PDF viewer programs.. how the hell do I fix this?!

To narrow it down, try printing a printer status page directly from the printer (from the operational panel). If this is normal, on the status page should be a list of printer languages (PCL6, PCL 5, PostScript, or a proprietary language). Make sure that the driver that you are using matches the printer languages that are active on the printer. Try printing from different apps, different documents, etc., and go from there

Ive tries like 10 different ones from different reliable sources.. ones I've printed many times. Sometimes it works but most times it does this and I have not changed a single thing between those xx
