Sounds like it could be a windows update issue - Printing forum - DPReview

Get a blank page now when I open it in Eudora except for the header

Not a P800 owner, but, the problem you describe has all the marking of an air block in the VLM line!

Suggest a trip to JToolman's Pro 1000 YouTube channel were he currently has 65 videos on the printer! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy-ZTSBwqckaNCKick-xAMBCn1akWFYLl Jpegman

I guess the 3640 is like a crap shoot - the printer was replaced by Costco over a year ago and I had not one problem since then! The replacement has been working great (knock on wood!) since then, except the fax mode where it will not send faxes, only receive them but, the printer keeps working.

Since the carts were OEM, i assumed that air is not an issue. I parked the heads over Windex soaked paper towels for 2 days (With changes and wiping back and forth like inkjetmall suggested) and the missing bands (and smeared lettering was still there). Next tried using IJM Piezo solution and am...
