I know many of you use the Epson 3880. Has anyone experienced a sudden report of failure or malfunction of the maintenance cartridge? Mine went for about 30% capacity to an error message telling me I needed to replace it.
Just to be on the safe or well-provisioned side, I quickly ordered four more cartridges. They arrived yesterday. I put one in, fired up the printer, and . . . same message.
The original malfunction appeared out of the blue: I had switched from PK or MK part way through a printing session, and suddenly the error message appeared. (The maintenance tank was not even close to being full.)
Any suggestions?
Is there any way to completely reset a 3880 (in case it is just a software/firmware glitch)?
As nearly as I can tell, there is no way to get around the replace-the-maintenance-cartridge message.
Thanks in advance!
Myron
