Re: Horizontal lines - using Epson 1280 - BO

2004-12-10 by Michael Hung

How old is your printer? There's a few theories on this subject if you
search the archive.

The bad news is that your printer may be at the end of it's life
already and the black printer head is misfiring. When printing colour
since the black ink is used so little you might not have noticed the
problem before..
