Digital BW, The Print

Out of a sudden my 7500 begun to suck ink interminably when I
hit the PAUSE button in order to feed a sheet of paper.
I was not able to stop this monster from isucking ink otherwise
than to pull the power supply (RESET was meaningless for it).
Now, whenever I connect the power supply again and press the
power button the monster will start the ink destroying program
again and again.
It behaves, as if I had ordered a transport cleaning cycle (without
having pulled out the carts).
So I finally let it go throughout the whole cycle, - but after having
done this, the monster wants to start again at z e r o .
Meanwhile I´m not sure to have any ink left in the 220-carts.

Any other idea than to call the epson service??
Thanks a lot.
