Default Epson C42+ Printer- big problem

Hey All,

I found this problem on:
http://www.fixya.com/problems-soluti...t-Printer.aspx

That no one seems to solve.

Epson C42+ Printer
Switched printer on for the first time in months( have been working
overseas) and the ink cartridges moved to the centre of the printer.
then to the right hand side. To which i could hear bad clicking
noises as if it were jamming. Do you know what it could be?

Any ideas???

Probably a broken gear, just maybe something like the pump mechanism
which is driven from the paper feed rollor - unless of course you
dropped something inside.

Got to appreciate it really is difficult to say with out looking, the
reason I suggested the above is that I am assuming it is a cyclic
noise rather than a random click, clues like this would help.

Have you tried lubricating the silver guide bar that the print head travels
on? Sometimes that gets dirty and needs lubricated.

Sounds like it may be a cleaning station that popped out of place, or
its spring loaded platform my have sprung a spring.

Or, the cam/gear that controls the inkwiper/headlock may have gotten
gummed up and is not moving properly.

I suggest dripping several drops of ammoniated window cleaner/isopropyl
alcohol down on the cleaning station and to it's left where the ink
wiper/headlock cam is located to try to dissolve some potentially dried ink.

Hard to diagnose long distance like that.
