I hear ya'll! Epson sent me an e-mail suggesting I call them (my expense) but talked like the printer would probably have to be replaced.
I agree. I will not buy an Epson again. I've only had mine just over a year (past warrenty of course). I was getting darn tired of having to replace the black ink cartridge every month. Same thing with the HP I had before it. My old HP 722 ink cartridges lasted a year and I did more picture printing then. They give you less ink now so you have to buy it more often and they make more money. Does anyone have a different name brand printer that doesn't use ink so quickly. Anyway, back to the problem at hand....I have spent over $50 on ink cartridges and this thing still doesn't work. If I use up all the ink by cleaning heads, whether it then prints or not, I've spent more money than it's worth. Looking for printer recommendations now.
