Epson stylus pro 9500 :( No ink from right side...

[aksham]

I've seen the other threads where working the ink locks on the side will get the Lt Cyan, Lt Magenta, and Yellow inks working again, but it doesn't work for me.

Recap: No colors on the right side will work, either nozzle check, test print, or file sent to printer. Left side works fine. Inks are full with fresh cartridges.

Before I start tearing out the C printhead, is there something else simple that I missed?

Thanks in advance.

It is likely that the tube running to the purging station has become disconnected. This will cause the printing from the right section of colors to stop printing.
Someone has the printer manual to the 9500. Disassembly to reconnect will likely fix it. In the meantime, no further printing should be done. If still under warranty, exercise the warranty.

You find the service manual here: http://elektrotanya.com/epson_stylus_pro_9500.pdf/download.html

Before download see this instruction: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=61324#p61324

At a quick glance I found that pages 107 and 108 in the service manual are about the maintenance pump.

I hope this helps.

If the waste ink tank was full it's possible the problem side waste tube clogged. Aside from needing to resolve the waste pads themselves anyway, if the tube is clogged then the pump can't draw ink out of the printhead and won't be cleaning it at all.
