This was my first thought as well, as I've had mine do the same thing. I managed to disassemble mine enough to get at the ink pads, then I took them out and gave them a good rinse and let them dry. Getting the printer apart was a bit of a pain - the pads aren't designed to be user-accessible unlike the larger printers. You can reset the printer's ink count either by downloading a small program, or there's a sequence of front-panel buttons you can use. Unfortunately I've forgotten it but it shouldn't be too hard to find on the net :) Either that or you can save yourself the headaches and take it in to a service agent. Next time mine requires this I'll probably drill a little hole under the waste-ink hose and raise the printer by enough to put a little tray underneath with a sponge in it. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
