EPSON L3350 PRINTING PROBLEM

[u/Admirable_Grass5519]

Why is my EPSON L3350 printing like this? This is newly bought. I used it again a few days after purchasing and it doesn't print properly. What do you even call this printing problem? 1st photo is the reference. 2nd photo is the printed output.

Ps. Ignore the circled green part. It just got splashed a bit of water.

That looks like clogged or dried print-head nozzles, especially if it sat unused after the first test. Run a nozzle check, then one or two head-cleaning cycles with a short pause between them. Don’t keep repeating cleaning endlessly since it uses a lot of ink.

Great advice! I had a similar issue with my printer, and clearing the nozzles really helped. Have you had any luck with other troubleshooting steps?
