[QUOTE="Cats-4_Owners-2, post: 409690, member: 15495"] In our home, if more than 1 week passes between printing, we often struggle with our Epson Stylus NX230 which is a [I]desk jet printer[/I]. Some remedies you might try: [LIST=1] [*]Carefully remove the small inkwell (using gloves are a good idea) and cover the hole where it feeds ink into the printer. [*]Shake the ink contents being sure to keep the opening covered so as not to experience an unwanted shower in :eek:ink!:p [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Another approach after the actions above is to use the "clean heads" option which (to the best of my memory) can be found in and around the ink monitor window sections. [/LIST] Good luck, [USER=34998]@Daniel Hidalgo[/USER]. I hope this plus [USER=31598]@vivid[/USER]'s previous observation helps you get printing.:) Footnote: We have already decided,:rolleyes: next time we'll be getting a laser printer!:p Update: If the 'L' stands for laser, cartridges can also be (carefully) shaken.
