Digital BW, The Print

John: I also get these on my new 1280. Mine seems to be a yellow
nozzle that just keeps firing, sometimes two passes, sometimes twenty.
It's very noticeable because I print Black Only and you can see the
yellow stripe throught the print area and extending into one margin to
the edge of the paper. This is a new 1280 and my old 1280 never did this. 

I tried de-installing and then re-installing the driver but that did
not cure the problem. I have no s/w or h/w that could be related
installed. I'm running XP (w/o SP2), USB2 through a hub. I must have
the hub as the distance is longer than the printer cable plus it
connects to two printer and a scanner. Can't be the hub as I used to
run two printers and two scanners with no problem with my old 1280. 

I'm thinking is a problem within the printer itself and will ask Epson
to swap it since it's under warranty.
