help with 7500, please

2011-01-02 by Richard Vanek

I have loaded big MIS cartridges with ebony6 inks set. I needed to get rid
of color inks from printer so I had run few cleaning cycles and some ink
charges. I have not get any b&w inks only the color and very very soft, not
relly full intensity.

Next day morning I have found insk from half of my cartridges on the floor
under the printer. I removed the cartridges as it seems that ink is just
leaking further. Later after I have opened printer I noticed that ink leaked
from overflowed waste inks pads.

Interesting was that tube of LM, LC and Y going to right printer head are
now empty while tubes going to left print head, K,M,C are full.
I had open right side of printer and checked all pipes (all seems to be
connected well), than I clean all from ink.
I also disconnected pipes with damper from head ink intakes. There was no
ink in dampers for right head.

Not sure why ink leaked, what could be the problem?
How can get ink from tubes into the waste ink pad, without getting into head
and on paper?

I would really appetite any tips what should I clean, check or do in general
to make my printer running.
I bough printer second hand and it was not used for some time.

I need to add little info from the beginning:
Before transport there was ink in printer, very little. We didn't do any
special procedure for transporting printer (in car for few dozen
kilometers).
When I unpacked and install home, all cartridges were almost empty. I bough
some new before I went to travel or  week. after week (printer was not
turned on) new cartridges was empty.

Thanks for your help!
