Check this:
* Printer is connected to your Wi-Fi.
* Computer is not on guest Wi-Fi.

* Printer is close enough to the router.

.. 6. Install or Update the Epson L4260 Driver
A missing or outdated driver can stop the Epson L4260 from printing, especially after a Windows update.
Use this process:
1. Go to Epson’s official L4260 support page.
2. Choose your operating system.
3. Download the latest driver or full software package.
4. Install it.
5. Restart the computer.

Epson also notes that the installation CD may not contain the most up-to-date Windows 11 drivers and directs users to download the latest drivers for their Epson product. ([Epson India][8])

.. 7. Run a Nozzle Check If the Epson L4260 Prints Blank Pages
If the printer feeds paper but prints blank, very faint, or missing lines, the print head nozzles may be clogged.
Use the printer control panel:
1. Select **Maintenance**.
2. Choose **Nozzle Check**.
3. Follow the screen instructions.
4. Print the nozzle check pattern.
5. Check whether lines are missing.
6. Run head cleaning if the pattern has gaps.
The Epson L4260/ET-4900 user guide says to select **Maintenance > Nozzle Check**, print the pattern, and clean the print head if nozzles are clogged. It also says if most lines are missing, users may need Power Cleaning. ([download.epson-europe.com][9])

.. 8. Clean the Print Head Carefully
If the nozzle check pattern shows gaps, run print head cleaning.
Important tips:
* Do not run cleaning repeatedly without checking.
* Head cleaning consumes ink.
* If ink is low, head cleaning may not work properly.
* Print another nozzle check after cleaning.
Epson’s user guide warns that head cleaning consumes ink and should not be performed more than necessary. It also says low ink may prevent print head cleaning. ([download.epson-europe.com][9])

.. 9. Wait Before Repeating Cleaning Too Many Times
If print quality does not improve after several cleaning attempts, do not keep cleaning again and again.
Epson’s guide says if print quality does not improve after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning three times, wait at least **12 hours** without printing, then run nozzle check again and repeat cleaning if needed. If quality still does not improve, Epson recommends Power Cleaning. ([download.epson-europe.com][9])
This matters because repeated cleaning uses ink and may not fix a dried or severe clog immediately.

.. 10. Use Power Cleaning Only When Needed
Power Cleaning is stronger than normal head cleaning. Use it when the nozzle check shows major missing lines or the printer prints blank after normal cleaning.
Epson says Power Cleaning may be needed when a nozzle pattern prints with gaps after cleaning and refilling ink; after Power Cleaning, users must turn off the product and wait at least 12 hours before running another Power Cleaning. ([Epson][5])
Use Power Cleaning only when:
* Blank pages continue.
* Most nozzle lines are missing.
* Ink tanks are filled correctly.
* Normal cleaning did not help.
* The printer sat unused for a long time.

.. 11. Check Ink Levels and Ink Tank Filling
The Epson L4260 is an EcoTank printer, so ink flow matters. If ink levels are too low, the printer may print faint, blank, or missing colors.
Check:
* Ink is above the lower line.
* Ink tanks are filled with the correct Epson ink.
* Tank caps are closed.
* No air gap or ink flow issue is visible.
* Ink level was reset correctly after refilling, if prompted.
The Epson L4260 support FAQ includes ink-related topics such as refilling ink tanks, checking when an ink tank needs refilling, and what to do when nozzle check patterns still have gaps after refilling. ([epson.com.jm][6])

.. 12. Use Epson Smart Panel for Mobile Printing Issues
If the Epson L4260 is not printing from mobile, check setup through Epson Smart Panel if supported in your region and device.
Epson says the Epson Smart Panel app lets users set up, monitor, print, scan, and access troubleshooting tips from a compatible mobile device. ([Epson India][10])
Try this:
1. Install Epson Smart Panel from the official app store.
2. Connect phone and printer to the same Wi-Fi.
3. Add the printer in the app.
4. Check printer status.
5. Try printing a simple document or photo.
