Re:Why?

Tim,
 
I suggest you post this question on the Epson printer forum.  There is a
gentleman there named Arthur Entlich who is fantastic at solving
questions like this.  I have a 1280 that had one jet that was randomly
firing the entire width of the paper.  He correctly identified it as a
bad head, pointed me to www.compassmicro.com where I could buy a new
print head, and told me about maintenance program to perform the
necessary factory tests.  I installed the head, replaced the ink pads at
the same time, reset the ink counter per the factory repair manual
purchased on eBay, and I was off and running with a "new" printer.  
 
Bob
