[muglo] Re: Printer Problem

Hi Paul,

When an Epson printer starts up after not having been in use for a while the
print heads are sometime clogged.  Epson includes a utility with their
drivers which you can use to clean, aligning, and check your remaining ink
levels.  This little application is called the EPSON Printer Utility.

If you use OS X you can find it under the following directory:

Library > Printers > EPSON > Utilities > EPSON Printer Utility

Once you have launched the app, double click on the name of your printer.  A
new window pops up giving you several options.  Select Head Cleaning and
follow the on screen instructions.

If you are using OS 9, during a printing session (File > print) you will
notice a few little icons in the upper right-hand corner of the print
dialogue box.  One of these has a little wrench and ink level icon.  Click
that and you will be launched in the OS 9 version of EPSON Printer Utility.
It look the same as the OS X version.

If cleaning the heads doesn't seem to work, there could be a more serious
problem with the printer.  Of the four Epson printers I own, all colour
problems have been resolved using the Head Cleaner.

Let me know if this helps,

Ron Gallagher
