Erich, what durabrite printer do you have? Did you try to clean the  
head by sliding it over a folded piece of paper towel moisted with  
warm (distilled) water? That takes away an awfull lot of gunk.
If this doesn't work maybe the ink purge pump tubing is clogged. Each  
cleaning cycle makes things worse then. I did a repair this year on a  
C86 and could flush the tube with a syringe. It's working fine again.  
Some information on how to do this: <http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/ 
duraink.html>. Not very easy, the construction of these cheap epsons  
is rather flimsy.
