    epson R2880 clogged, maybe dead, Love/Hate, and some whining!

    Thanks Martin... I don't know about grandma, but I always have new things to learn! I do shake the inks thoroughly, and try to make sure I'm pulling NOT from the very bottom. BUT, I never thought of using a syringe on the feed port to make sure I get whatever smutch is on the bottom of the...

    epson R2880 clogged, maybe dead, Love/Hate, and some whining!

    Yeah, the clogging seems to be REAL individual. But, mostly seems to be the Magenta that clogs... I've got a couple friends with 2880s, running both Epson and Cone inks, and at least one of them routinely leaves hers for weeks or even a couple months and NEVER gets clogs... I get clogs in 3...

    How do I reset an Epson R2880?

    I've got an Epson R2880 using the Cone Color inks and their refillable cartridges. Did the initial load, things worked fine. The other day I checked and I had 5 cartridges that were very low. The lowest showed an X in the monitor, so I pulled all EIGHT cartridges and refilled them... This...
