I had the same problem. I think what happened in my case was I placed Windex on the 
parking pad and let the head sit overnight....as the Windex drained through the parking pad 
it pulled the ink with it. I guess the siphoning effect in action.

I also had one bad cart that leaked from the start...I think a seam was cracked.

The 1280 has been sitting idle for a few months and I have not tried to trouble shoot as I've 
purchased an Epson 4800 and can't be more pleased and at ease....no more worries if the 
printer will work! Works every time!
