Default How to "de-coke" Epson printer ink jets ?

You've run nothing at all as no ink came out.


Rubbish, nothing came out of the blocked jets but plenty from the
unblocked ones... If no ink is being consumed how come the level drops in
host computers ink level display? OK if could just be the chip telling the
host what it thinks the levels are but you can't ignore that and the
printer will stop when it thinks it's run out of ink. You could use a chip
reseter on it but then you don't know where the levels are at all. More
hoops to jump through just to do a simple print.
