Problem for Epson Stylus CX5400 All-In-One InkJet Printer
Problem with One Color (Yellow) not printing on Epson R280
After I ran out of the Yellow color on my Epson R280, I replaced it with a new OEM yellow catridge, and the printer status shows Yellow catridge is now full. However, that color is missing in the prints. I took the catridge out and see that the ink outlet seal sure is punched, and can even see some yellow ink on the brim. I was going to do print head cleaning, but the user guide suggested to avoid wasting ink, first do nozzle check pattern printing, and use head cleaning only if there are gaps in the pattern printed. When I tried the Nozzle check, sure enough all the other color patterns
printed picture perfect without any gaps, while the Yellow one did not even print a single
dot. Given that, I appreciate if someone can share their expertise on what would be the next best thing to trouble shoot/resolve the issue...

- Thanks swan34, but I think the catridge replacement procedure was followed correctly. I ended up solving the problem with my Yellow catridge by using the head clean, however, ofcourse that process lead to wasting ink in other catridges, I actually had couple that are nearing the end (just entering the warning stage), and after the head clean procedure one of them ran out completely and had to be replaced immediately, while the other is almost bottomed out. I sure was glad the yellow worked with just one head clean attempt.Solution #1

whenever your ink shows warning don't wait till in runs out before replacing it or the clogging problem will occur. also, make sure to do a print atleast every 3days to avoid it. leaving it not working for a long time is not advisable. i actually thought that the ink on the printing head dries up causing this problem.
if you think epson printers are exensive due to how fast it uses its ink, try CIS(Continuous Ink Supply). very cheap. you can print all day without worrying how much your ink costs.

I am a long time Epson user, and I cannot express accurately how frustrated I am with the R280. I bought it just for doing mailing labels (read: black ink only) yet it used ALL colors at virtually the same rate. I printed a couple of low-rez Google maps in color, but for 95% of my printer use, I have the settings for BLACK ONLY.
When my black ink ran out, due to the others being so low, it cost me over $100 to get it running again: I had to replace all the inks -- and not at the same time... each ink color had a different amount left, so I ended up making 4 trips to the ink store, becasue by the time one color got replaced, the cleaning/start-up process would empty my other not-so-near-empty cartridges.
AAAAARGH!
