Thanks for the info - that's good news

It's now about a year ago that I got a replacement for my old Epson Pro 7600 24 inch printer which I dumped due to some age related problems after about 20 years of operation. I tested both the Canon TC-20 and the Epson T3100 and T3100 which are quite similar in functionality - 24" roll...

I'm at this time assuming that there is no ink in the tubing and dampers, a new ink charge command would fix that via the WICReset utility - under Windows. I don't know if that utility would be available for Mac systems. WICReset offers you several other cleaning commands below the ink charge...

For how long was the printer idling ? It appears to me that the ink was running back through the ink tubes and pulled air into the dampers. It is possible to remove the tubes from the dampers, those cartridge like inserts in the printhead carriage, there should be some small amount of ink in...

Please run a nozzle cleaning cycle and print and post the nozzle check print here

A service manual would be available here against a charge https://www.sdott-parts.com/epson-l11160-l15150-l15160-l15180-et-16150-et-16600-et-16650-et-16680-st-c8000-c8090-service-manual.html

A tooth belt got disengaged as I see it in your 2nd image; is it broken or disengaged ?

Please explain what happened to get into the current situation. 'Timing belt wire' - are you talking about the plastic strip which passes through the printhead carriage on the backside ? Do you have a service manual available ? I regret I don't .

I understasnd that such paper feed problems are pretty aggrevating, it may fix the problem by cleaning the pickup roller. Does the printergive you some other options via the driver like low noise/night mode which slows down the paper actions, this might be available via the extended settings...

- Which of the G-series megatank printers does not come with a user replaceable waste ink box/maintenance box, counters get a reset with a new maint. box like the MC-G01. Pads + chip for the maint. box are available via Aliexpress for 0.99 €, and I have seen there as well a resetter for such...

to make good profiles for my Canon iPF-5100 printer with datacolor's spyderprint! I need to raise concerns about the use of Spyderprint to create good profiles . Significant issues with this profiling package had been raised in this forum several times , and it was shown that very wrong...

You are right that this is a pretty annoying printer performance; please let me raise several questions - - how old is the printer - possibly still under warranty - how much are you printing - a lot or not that much - can you feed paper from diffrerent bins - does that make a difference - does...

As you mention it I remember that I registered with Scribd longer time ago for a free trial and exploited that quite heavily. Yes, they were playing some tricks around the cancellation but not much more than some other internet businesses - small print - hiding bottons at the bottom of the...

That's the price you pay for a 'free' manual; you would need to register there or you look for other sources which would charge you - there is a charge between 10 - 20$, just google for 'ET-8550 service manual'. Like here...

The service manual could be of help how to open the printer, remove outer case parts etc. I see that you can look to it online here https://de.scribd.com/document/792941668/ET-8500-ET-8550-L8160-L8180%E7%B3%BB%E5%88%97%E8%8B%B1%E6%96%87%E7%BB%B4%E4%BF%AE%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8C

The Epson models of Ecotank printers with ink tanks vary between different business regions - particular models may be available here or there or not - the T-2860 is an entry level combo running at 175€ in Germany. The waste ink box is available behind a plastic cover, and waste ink boxes are...

I'm not aware of a document epxlaining board level repair on component level. About the only thing you can do is to trace the power input into the circuitry , there is most likely as a very first component a fuse, or more - per different voltage, and if it's the fuse(s) there is most likely a...
