Hello Im new and am glad I found you guys. Im hoping one of you wise people can help me.
Ive got 2 of the Epson Stylus Photo R280's. Recently I got this 'Cover is Open' error message when I tried to printon one of them. The cover is not open, the cartridge cover is not open, and the little tab is not broken. Ive been going nuts trying to figure it out.
Ive looked over the printer latch on the working printer and it looks fine. Someone told me that there is a sensor I need to look for. I went to the UK site that you guys were talking about to find a repair manual but they didnt have my model so I went with the closest model the R285 and they didnt mention anything about the cover open sensor problem.
Is there anyone who can help me with this problem, what do I need to look for, where can I buy parts? This is a great printer otherwise, it prints really fantastic on my cd's. I thank you all for any advice you can shoot my way. I too am having the same problem with a new out of the box r280. Whenever I print it loads the paper and then stops, with the power light flashing and the two orange lights also flashing, although at twice the pace the power light flashes.
Malwarebytes premium download for mac free. I of course emailed epson support and of course have not heard back yet. I've tried everything from unistalling drivers and reinstalling and using/not using my usb hub, etc. When I run the printers test function not connected to the computer all it prints on the page is 'PU2477 QP100653' Does this code mean anything to anyone or anyone have an idea where to look it up? Thanks in advance! I bought the Epson R280 about three weeks ago and when I hooked it up I had green light and then tried to print. Nothing two red lights flashing, the print carriage was trying to move but wouldn't, I called Epson tech.
(562) 276-7282 and when I explained the problem they said they would send me another one. Well I got that one a week ago and hooked it up yestoday and guess what HaHa the same problem so I called Epson Tech. And explained the problem and they are sending me another one and they told me to keep the other ones. Now that will give me three Epson R280's and I hope the next one works.

I believe Epson has found out that they have a series of printers that a percentage of that series has a problem and the cheepest way for them to fix it is give the customers a new one.And if I am right and there is only so many in the series having this problem then it would make sense to just ship a new one. Wish me luck and I will do the same for you guys. PS Call Epson and get a new one. The solution to your problem is quite simple.
You have to open the printer by taking out all of the retaining screws that hold the top cover in place. (Not difficult) Don't force it. If the cover does not come off easily, you have missed a screw. Once it is off, you will see that there is a wire and plug beside the 'cover open' sensor, which is the slot beside the left side retaining screw.
On my printer, it was unplugged. Push it in until it clicks firmly into place, and re-install the top cover.
Re-start the printer, and off you go. If the printer cartridge carrier refuses to align itself with the opening, press the ink button until it is in the right position. (It moves a couple of centimetres each time the button is pressed.) Finally, DO NOT TURN THIS PRINTER OFF!!!
Every time the printer is re-started, it cleans the heads, which wastes ink, and this printer drinks ink like it is cheap wine. If you keep it on, it does not do the self-cleaning ritual, and mine has printed excellent prints for qutie a while, even though I am still on the original cartridges. I had a similar with my brand new R280 that I got today. I installed a continuous ink system (CIS) and when I tried to print, I received the error message that the cover needed to be lowered into the proper position. This is not possible due to the tubing for the CIS system.
In looking at the printer, there is a tab in the lid that drops into a slot on the body of the printer. I stuffed some kleenex (with sufficient force to push the switch down) into the hole and now it prints just fine - even with the lid not fully engaged. Hope this helps as one way to solve the problem. I just turned on my machine for the first time about 3-4 weeks ago and then when I went to use it, a few days ago print it showed the yellow cartridge was out of ink even though it was never used and it seems like it still has ink in it(I shake it and can hear liquid and it still is wet at bottom of cartridge).
