RE: The last word on cleaning?

I presume you have tried changing the black cartridge? The same thing
happened to me today and I called Epson - after trying more cleaning
routines, the tech support guy insisted that the black cartridge was empty -
and, indeed, when I removed it, no black ink was coming out. Since it was
only a few weeks old and the status monitor hadn't indicated that it was
empty (not even flashing), I kind of doubt that, but it must have been
clogged solid. The techie did say that the status monitor could mal function
if you have the printed plugged into a surge suppressor instead of the wall,
but it's never happened before. I have been printing a lot of black lately
though ... so, who knows?

Hi all,

I have a Photo Stylus which will no longer print black. I have run the
cleaning routine a dozen plus times with very little improvement.

I'm hoping that the next step doesn't have to be shipping the printer to
Epson. Is there anything else I can do to clean the nozzles?


TIA
Richard
