Just an addition... A few days later the errors came back, just as stubborn as before, so I decided it was all or nothing time and undertook the task of getting at the purge unit itself. Taking the bulk of the printer from the base was quite easy, four screws (one near each corner), and a...

After more fiddling (basically just repeating all steps I've already done) as well as nozzle check & head align, I switched out my PGBK 5 with another one (the first one was just replaced last week, shortly before the break down). Well, the ink cart was nearly empty which is amazing to me since...

The manual was a great link! Got into service mode, was even able to print the service print & EEPROM print, also able to run a head alignment (not all three at the same time). This issue is seems intermittent, that is to say that my printer working is intermittent (highly sporadic) at best...
