Epson 760 Problem

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

If you do not have the manual for your printer, the Epson website offers
most of them as downloadable versions (.pdf files).

The manual should have a section about "replacing outdated cartridges".
Usually there is a series of button presses required to move the head
cartridge into position for the cartridges to be removed.
Unfortunately, Epson keeps changing the buttons and how to do it.

On some printers it is a matter of pressing and holding the two cleaning
buttons (color and black) together for about 5 seconds until the
carriage moves over, then if you want to move it further to get the
black cartridge out, you press on the black cleaning button only.

However, some printers don't have two cleaning buttons, so you need to
check your manual.
