2 years ago, i bought my wife a wireless printer, an Epson XP-310. she used it for about 10 months, before it broke. Epson replaced the entire unit under warranty. we set it up, and have had no further trouble with it. until now. the last time she printed off pages, it worked perfectly. but now, it will not print at all. it shows at the least every cartridge having a minimum of 1/3 full, up to 2/3rds full on 2 of the color cartridges. the printer sat since early spring without being used. which i feel has more than a little to do with it. i tried cleaning the print heads, and made a page that was about 3/4 full of heavy black bars on my printer and ran thru hers, in the hopes that pumping ink would clear the problem. there are no print error codes or messages. so i am thinking that there is a good possibility that the ink has all but dried into dust in each cartridge. is there a way short of buying all new cartridges to verify if that is the problem?
