Anyone else solved this problem? Your year-old Epson R3000 (or similar) printer does an automatic head cleaning before virtually every print job, no matter how small. It doesn't matter that nozzle checks were perfect before sending a print job; the printer likes to do a long, unnecessary, unrequested head cleaning.
I contacted Epson and they were of no help. I also tried downgrading the printer’s firmware (a suggested fix I read online), but again that didn't help.
Thank you in advance,
Mark
