Hello,

thank you for the problem report & log file!

The log file looks okay so there might be a problem with the printer.

Could you please open TurboPrint Control -> "Toolbox" and print a "Nozzle Check" page? There should be 8 staircase patterns printed on the page, one for each ink color.

nothing just a blank page


i can see about hooking it to a windows computer and see if it works there

Yes, please try if you can print from a windows computer.

sorry for waisting your time

i tried it on a windows pc same thing nothing happened so i got on line to look some info up from the place we got it - it had a modification on it - it had external ink tanks 50 ml and i didn't realize there is vents that needed to be removed in order for the ink to flow - it was pulling a vacuum on the tanks.

thanks for your replies but i got it fixed --

a new question - how do i get the red color changed from red/orange ------ red on image red/orange when it prints
