Well, before donating the printer, I would like to try the Ink Eject and Initial Charge routine. What I requested may not have been clear, but I am asking for on how to do it. The instructions given in the Service Program software say to remove the ink carts before the Ink Eject routine, but the printer doesn't let the routine run if the carts are removed. I have searched threads here that talk about using the Ink Eject routine but they don't indicate how to do it properly, so I am asking for help with that.
I will call Epson if running Ink Eject and Initial Charge doesn't help. However, I am on a very fixed income now and cannot budget for a home visit from a tech, and I am in no position to carry the printer downstairs to take it in to a repair shop.
