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.

Subject: printing papers ...
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.
