G'day,
thanks to Bob Howells & Tony Wilson for their time and efforts in
trying to solve my problems, although I was not able to solve the
problem, I have learnt a lot from the info from bob,and after
spending nearly 2 days trying to clean it etc I became so " stressed
" I thought to hell with it, took it into our friends at the Apple
ctre, Joondalup, asked them to have a look at it, and if they ca
n't do it I think I shall end up buying an Epson R250.
They say " you learn from your mistakes " and I have learnt that if
you don't use the printer regular print a page or two every week to
stop it clogging up.!
Thought Bobs page he sent to me may be of some help to the list
(http://www.maxpatchink.com/index.shtml )
Thanks again
Bill

G'day, have G5,1.8ghz, 768 ram, running 10.4.5, Epson C65
printer, the black colour ran out six weeks ago, went on holiday
on return bought all new cartridges (Epson, today ) tried
printing document from " pages " and Appleworks, all I get is
blank pages printed out ( about 50 so far ) what with me cleaning
the print heads loads of times, reinstalling from the Epson
disk , on checking the ink levels I've nearly used a quarter of
the black , where's its gone I have no idea !
whilst its printing, " Active " tells you which job its
processing, the name of it, and when finished in the " Completed "
shows its been printed,
In the C65 menu bar the "hold" icon has a question mark on it ,
I've tried to access this but with no success,
I thought that maybe the print heads were blocked hence me using
the " clean print heads " 4 or 5 times, but that didn't cure it, I
expect when its solved it will be a simple thing ( but to me B...
hard )
1. how do I do this ?
2. would this solve my problem of no printing
3. any help would be much appreciated
TIA
Bill
