Sorry to mislead everyone.
Does anyone know whether my original post is close to the mark? At that point I was still thinking about the R3000, albeit without much specific knowledge of it aside from its size and approximate age.
Again, sorry for the confusion!

Here’s one that is perhaps better: http://www.inksupply.com/purging.cfm Purging of the 3000 is explicitly discussed down the page a ways.

Hi Myron,
thanks for your post – it is actually very helpful for me. From another source I heard that charging the ink system by manually applying pressure may damage internal valves / pumps. So my procedure seems not to be the best one from the beginning. I picked it up from a description on how to flush a clogged channel with cleaning fluid / windex. The next time I replace the carts with refillable ones and bulk ink I will try according to the directions you found for discharging ink, and use the Epson Reset Tool to initiate the charging procedure. Can you provide the link to the source you found?
Regards,
Amin
