Hi Ron. I've done the purge test a few times. With the rocks taken out, I filled the two tubs with Windex/H2O. During purge, the forward most holes at the bottom of each of the two tubs seemed to suck well. However the rear most holes of each of the two tubs was still covered with liquid (I...

Yikes. I didn't want to hear that. Does the fact that during a deep cleaning I hear what seems to be a slow pumping sound coming from the purge unit not necessarily mean that it is working? Also please opine on whether continual cleaning cycles including deep cleaning could hurt the printer...

Ron. The good: No error messages, carriage movement smooth and normal. The bad.: I've got zero ink flow from any of the 4 tanks. I've done many many regular and deep cleaning cycles Question: can one damage the printer or printhead by doing many regular or deep cleaning cycles? Another question...

Any maintenance I can do?

Ron, I'm in the process of filing off the low hanging fruits right now. I figure there is still plenty of good flange to support the printhead. The left tab was still hanging on to the holder (barely). I super-glued it back. Don't know if it will hold. You said your printers worked anyway even...

I'm thinking of just filing off the lowest hanging parts of the flanges. What do you think. I guess my old print head must of had a short and got really hot & bothered. Any particular maintenance that I should do as long as I got the case off? Thanks for all your help on this. I'm thinking she's...

Wow! Too Much. :lol: First I succeeded in getting the holder out. The previous time I detached the retainer clip for the carriage bar. It turns out it is not necessary to detach that retainer clip which is good because it was a pain to reattach. This time by pressing down near the ink level...

OK, I'm into to it now :/ Decided to try and get the holder out. Unclipped the right clip. Left clip obviously busticated. Carriage slid all the way to the left. Left side carriage bar retainer clip removed. Having trouble wiggling it out. By rotate, I assume you mean rotate the bottom of the...

Ron, I'm mystified. Both red screws are tight, and steel bumps are in the slots. The red screw on the right is not quite as well horizontally centered as the one in the druckerchannel photo, but as it is tight, it must have been like that all along. The ledge upon which the cam rests certainly...

Ron, with the carriage in its un-lifted position, I have no clearance at all. The two flanges of the holder, which support the printhead catch on the linear bumpies. It seems unlikely that there is damage to the upper steel frame. The printer has not been even moved from where it has been for...

Ron, thanks for your clear post. Though the left hook is most probably broken I now think that this is not what is causing the carriage to jam. When I manually rotated the drive train which operates the purge unit, and which also lifts the carriage, I stopped at the point where the carriage was...

Ron350, I'm not clear as to where the two "hooks" are that attach the holder to the main carriage. Could you please describe in more detail? Can the holder be removed from the main carriage by detaching these hooks? I want to be able to examine the underside of the holder as that's where it...

Ron350, or anyone ... I'm wondering, when the tankless and printhead-less carriage is manually moved left and right (without lifting up against the spring tension), ... whether one can feel the carriage go bumb-bump as it moves over the linear nubs, and whether that bump-bump feels the same...

Ron 350, I think you might have hit on it ! Please tell me, if one gently pulls the holder from the bottom towards the front of the printer, is the amount of movement or "play" identical on both sides of the holder, or does the left side (looking at the printer from the front) pull out a little...

Thanks headphonesman. That information is in the hopper. ip 3000 fan

Hi everyone. I'm glad I found this forum. While many people might give up on this printer as it's making sounds one would expect to hear from a malfunctioning blender (I turn it off as soon as I hear it), I recently had the experience of buying a printer for my father, and was surprised to...
