You're right, I wandered deep into unknown territory. I suspect only a handful of Epson engineers would have a clear idea of what has happened. Barely any modification was required, just removing a few mm of sheet metal from the carriage to widen the printhead opening, same mounting pattern...

As far as the firmware theory, it's unlikely. Consumer electronics are rarely supported for more than a few years... hell, a lot of them are barely supported at all after release. Besides, the latest/only FW for this available from Epson is from 2014. Considering the intermittence and that it's...

When I've had problems like this they've often fixed themselves after sitting for a day or few. It's surprising, but often time has done what cleanings and purge prints wouldn't. Creeping fluid and shrinking bubbles I reckon. Failing that, for a head that was extremely neglected and wouldn't...

I found myself with a 9900 that needed a new printhead and a printhead that looked very close to the same. So, a few minor physical modifications later I had it installed, crossed my fingers, pressed the power button, and... nothing but coil whine, not even a blinking light. Well that clearly...

Apologies for the severe delay in a response, I became quite wrapped up in preparing for my first art fest; no spare time to get the printer back together, and then the task just got buried in the queue. That aside, I was able to (mostly) resolve the problem when a third Artisan immediately...
