Hullo all

I have had my Epson Stylus Photo R310 Printer for several years (probably a few 
several years!)  This printer was used mainly just for printing photos from my 
other PC (Microsoft stuff).  When I bought my first Apple Mac we plugged the 
Epson into the Apple and this is the only printer I use with the Mac.

This has worked fine for about 2 years, but now there is a deterioration in the 
quality of my photos; i.e. I ca now see horizontal lines across each photo 
(faint, light).  Also, I don't think the colour is as sharp as it should be.  I 
don't use the printer all that often, because we can take bulk photos to 
Officeworks etc, so usually I just use the Epson when I have a small number of 
photos which I want immediately.  Plus general printing (which seems to be okay 
- I think, no need to print very often).

I cannot find anything in WAMUG archives dealing with this problem 
specifically, and nor can I obtain any help from going online to Epson.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can tell the Mac to "clean the printhead" 
or similar?  I do hope it is not anything manual that I have to do.  Keep the 
messy fingers for the computers nowadays please!

Many thanks in advance
