that's usually a sign of wearing heads. have you tried looking for an Epson maintenance cartridge? it has cleaning solution inside instead of ink. might be pricy.

My old Epson 1270 is beginning to drive me a little batty: it occasionally takes to drooling ink from the heads now and then takes 4-5 head cleaning passes and about ten sheets of paper passed through it to get the crud off all the rollers and print cleanly again. I guess it's time for an Epson 2200 (2400?) or 4000 series printer. If I can't get the bugger rolling smoothly again, I'll go for it (probably a 2200-2400) and would like to hear recommendations on papers that you've used with it too.
