Thank you all for your help with this. I used compressed air to try to clean the area where I presumed the sensor to be and also took swabs with alcohol and cleaned that area. Then I went to the trouble shooting section of the Epson Manual, ran the test there, and determined it is indeed a problem with the Printer. Since it is old and was inexpensive to begin with I have relegated it to the trash heap. Before doing that I followed Troths directions to remove it out of the printer folder, ran regclean, ran cleanup and now I am done with it. It has served it's time and it did a fine job for the jobs I wanted it to perform. And I learned from this experience so all is not lost. Thanks again.
