I had a problem with a printout so I ran a noz check. The BLACK noz is
blocked but it won't let me run the head cleaning routine because the CYAN
ink is low! Grrr..

Normally there is loads of ink left in the cart once it reports low but
now
I'm going to have to replace the CYAN cart just to run the head cleaner.



First off I made a mistake it wasn't the Cyan that was low - it was the
light Magenta - but that aside I now have a problem.... I've opened a cart
marked T0346 Light Magenta and inside is a cart marked T0336 Light Magenta.
Note the different number.

This 336 cart isn't recognised by my printer and it's the only Light Magenta
cart I've got. So now I can clean the black head and it will have to sit
blocked until I can get a new cart - probably by post.

Aagghhhhhh........ EPSON........... Aghhhhhhhh
