Re: [Digital BW] Epson 3800 and B&W inks headache

UpdateŠ

OK, I took the printer to the carwash andŠ

Kidding aside. Yesterday I noticed (remember all my cartridges are now
filled with Windex) that the LB position cartridge was not draining at all
with all the cleaning.

I swapped chips and positions with the PK cartridge to see if the LB
cartridge was defective. The newly replaced cartridge in the LB position now
drains just fine and this morning I am getting nozzle checks with only a
couple of little line segments missing. I am assuming this will straighten
itself out after the lines fill more completely with ink and everything
settles down. In any case this is the best I've had since I first tried to
set up the system.

So all this trouble lasting well over a year was due to a defective
cartridge that would not pressurize.
