Epson 9900 Ink Cartridge - Will Not Release

[ann @ nola]

Help Please:

How do I remove an ink cartridge that will not release?  It is not aligned with the others cartridges.  The cartridge appears to be pushed farther back. I need to replace it with a new cartridge.

Thank you for your help.

Is it the same size cartridge as all the rest? (150. 210, 350, 700ml)

A long stemmed, and narrow, flat-blade screwdriver, inserted below the underside of the ink cart, got me out of this exact bind once. To see the motion you'll need with the screwdriver, eject one of the "working" ink cartridges to examine the cart retention mechanism. It is, essentially speaking, a pry-downward-to-release sort of motion, such that the retainer pin disengages with the cart's underside. After the cart is out, bend the retainer arm upward so this doesn't happen again. If my experience serves as a template, you'll be fine.

The ink volume in your cart has no impact, in my opinion.

Jferrari, yes, the cartridges are the same size and same color.  Thank you for having me check again.

John, your suggestion worked!  It only took about 30 seconds.  Thanks you for your advice.
