Re: 750 or 900 Thanks/ Unclogging Heads?

["Larry Becker" <LDBECKER@prodigy.net>]

I have two 900's and a 1200 that both had bad clogs. I tried 17 cycles to
fix one of them and had no luck. Called Epson and the 900 tech said to, by
holding down the ink cartridge button on the front of the printer THREE
TIMES to run three cleaning cycles in quick succession. On both my 900's and
1200 this worked. I also was scolded by the Epson tech for wasting ink and
running 17 cycles.
