## **1. Common Symptoms When Epson ET-3760 Stops Printing Color**
Before we fix the problem, let’s identify the symptoms:
### **Symptom Checklist**
✔ Printer prints only black and white
✔ Colors look faded or washed out

## **2. Why Epson ET-3760 Might Not Print Color**
### **A. Incorrect Printer Settings**
Printer drivers and software settings can override color printing functions. Even if your hardware is fine, incorrect settings may force grayscale output.
### **B. Low or Empty Color Ink**
Modern printers often stop color printing when one or more color cartridges have depleted ink levels.
### **C. Clogged Printheads**
Ink dries inside tiny nozzles, especially with infrequent use — this is a common reason for poor color output.
### **D. Faulty or Expired Inks**
Using expired ink or incompatible third-party replacements can affect color performance.
### **E. Outdated Printer Drivers**
Old or corrupted drivers can interfere with how your computer sends printing instructions.
### **F. Hardware or Firmware Issues**
Internal firmware glitches or hardware malfunctions might prevent proper color processing.

### **Step 2: Run a Nozzle Check**
The nozzle check pattern shows whether the printhead is working properly.
1. On the printer’s control panel:
* Go to **Setup**
* Choose **Maintenance**

If the color lines are missing or broken, you have a clog.

A clogged printhead blocks ink from flowing properly.
#### **Auto Cleaning**
1. Go to **Setup**
2. Choose **Maintenance**

### **Step 4: Replace Low or Empty Ink Bottles**
The ET-3760 uses refillable ink tanks. If a color is low or empty, fill the tank with **genuine Epson ink bottles** (cyan, magenta, yellow).
Steps:
1. Open the ink tank cover
2. Match the color
3. Fill slowly, avoiding spills
4. Close the cover and run an **Ink Charge**
After refilling, run another nozzle check.

### **Step 6: Check Printing from a Different Device**
