I can't get the latest firmware update - which would stop this thing from cleaning all the time - until next Spring. Or, I can borrow someone else's computer with an older OS version OR a PC, hook up my printer, install the printer utility panel, THEN download the firmware. Otherwise I'm s**t outta luck. um...!!

What problem are you having? What OS X are you running?

I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard....the Epson tech told me I could not update firmware with SL until Spring, which is supposedly going to make the cleaning cycles less aggressive. I have both the Auto Nozzle Check and another nozzle setting I can't remember the exact name of checked off, but it doesn't help. Meanwhile I watch my ink levels go down as cleaning is very frequent. Frustrating. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "johnvphoto" <jvlist@...> wrote:

I have been on the new firmware for about a week, I see no difference in cleaning cycles frequency and as an added bonus it now comes up with an error of "some nozzles may be clogged". I was told by Epson to ignore it, nozzle checks are perfect. Mark http://www.stillrivereditions.com

Frustrating. Is the problem Epson LFP Remote Panel will not run on SL?

Can't you just turn Auto Nozzle check/clean off on the printer? The 11880 lets you do this. You can also set the auto nozzle clean per/5/ print thing to 30 or whatever you need. This should do it. I don't see why you need to update firmware.

Please tell us where that menu is. My 9900 only shows off or on auto nozzle check. Mark http://www.stillrivereditions.com

Yep, I don't see the option you describe for your 11880 on my 7900, either. ? Sarah --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Mark Savoia <mark@...> wrote:
