Oops thanks Ronni, my bad
That's what I get for working off memory when away from my "real
computer".
(plus having cold and flu, does that count as an "oops" pass as
well?) :o)
I was sort of close then. Lol :)
Kind regards
Daniel

Hi Peta & Daniel,
The older Epson Printer Utility doesn't work in Snow Leopard.
In Snow Leopard it was replaced by "Epson Printer Utility Lite.app
You will find it in your Macintosh HD > Library > Printers > EPSON >
InkJetPrinter2 > Utility > UTL - "Epson Printer Utility Lite.app"
And it is “Lite” – it shows a menu for printers, the Ink level
status and buttons for “Nozzle Check” and “Head Cleaning”,
but nothing else.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Peta
You should have "Epson Printer Utility", which almost always gets
installed
if the CD was used to install it.
You *may* find an alias to it in your Applications folder.
If you don't then there should also be one installed in the following
location.
NOTE: As the following is buried away in Library folders used by
the system
please don't move or change or rename anything in here, as all the
folder
structure is set a specific way the System requires it. Moving or
changing
things can have damaging effects to your computer.
/end note.
Macintosh HD - Library - Printers - EPSON - InkjetPrinter - Utilities
Inside here should be a Utility called Epson Printer Utility (may
have a 1
or 2 or 3 after it). If you run this it will allow you to do the
Print Head
clean.
(If the alias for it isn't in the Application folder, once it's
running then
you can Control click on it's Dock icon and Choose "Keep in Dock",
that way
it's there for whenever you need it next, without having to and
relook for
it)
Once you open it, just follow you nose. It should bring up a window
listing
your model of printer, which you click next arrow, and it will show
it's
connected via USB. Once you click through enough arrows etc it will
take you
to a main "choice" window, where one of the options will be "Head
Cleaning".
(Looks like this link, although not for your printer model):-
<http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/r800__/r800__rf/softx_4.htm#epson%2
0printer%20utility%20functions%20b>
(Or if the above link doesn't work, here's a tiny one)
<http://tinyurl.com/yagu6k4>
That should get it working for you (hopefully).
Kind Regards
Daniel

Thanks for this, but no, as I explained to Ronni, this option has
never come
up since we connected the Epson to the Mac (it used to show up
with my Toshiba
pc). So I cannot access in this way and there is definitely a
problem with
horizontal lines. (The printer therefore has not been cleaned for
the past 2
years or so.)
