When I hold the Power, Maintenance and Stop buttons down for 10 seconds the?
When I hold the Power, Maintenance and Stop buttons down for 10 seconds the machines ink cartridge holder gears squeal and grind and the machine shuts down. I think something has gotten into the machine and I don't know how to open it to check/remove it without breaking something on the housing.
Sorry Peccavi
It's an Epson Stylus Photo R320. I have checked everywhere inside I can see for paper scraps and found none. I am going to have to take the machine apart to fine what is jamming the mechanism. Believe it is paper scrap or something has fallen into the paper tray and was pulled into the print cartridge park side and jamming the gears. I don't know how to get the housing apart without force and don't want to trash the machine trying to fix it. Is there a manual available or a site I might find that has instructions on taking this R320 apart? I have found a few sites and sent paypal funds to pay for a manual and received nothing so far. The manual was to be sent as a PDF file upon receiving payment. Live and learn.

It often helps to say the make model.
And why are you holding down the three control buttons - to achieve what?
The usual problem with printers is a paper jam - to clear jams it's usually necessary to open the covers - you tube has videos of some printers.
Good luck...
