I am having trouble finding a couple of printheads for my FJ-50. My usual source (encompass parts)is now saying that Epson is now controlling the sale of all their inkjet printheads and I will have to contact them directly. I really don't want to go through their recommended dealers because I...

Here is probably the craziest question anyone will probably ask in a while, here goes.......

Hello all, I have a FJ-50 and it seems as if my right printhead has gone haywire. It is dumping plenty of ink onto the media. The image at the top left is when I try to demo print and I just get a huge pool of ink. The image to the right is the test print after a head clean. What are your...

Just wondering if anyone knows where to purchase the motor that runs the pump. I am trying to do a head cleaning and the pump is not pulling ink through the heads. I believe the motor that runs the pump maybe burned out. I am not talking about the scan motor but the small independent one...
