Re: Problem with BO Printing on Epson 1400

2008-08-15 by Tingxi Tan

Hi Paul, 

Sorry for being ignorant but which one is the air intake plug? There
are 2 plugs a black rubber one with a flap that is at the lower end 
of the cartridge (looking from the top) and a transparent rubber plug
that is above the black flappy plug.
