I don't do any printing these days, so I'm not sure that I can help. But I do have one question. Has your printer run out of the other color inks?

Minit I tried to clean it out real good the injector so it seems to be printing all colors on its own now so we'll see what happens

Thanks for the update.

@Hmcfly626 :-

Being a long-term Epson user myself, I can tell you that the printhead on the Epson inkjets needs semi-regular cleaning.....especially if you don't print that often. They gum-up rather quickly, but a nozzle-check / head clean usually fixes things.

3rd-party inks are worse in this respect than the Epson originals, but then they don't cost you an arm & a leg either. There's trade-offs in every aspect of life.

OK its an ecotank, what drivers are you using? Most EPSON printers work fine with the kernel drivers, but as with everything some don't,
did you install the recommended Epson drivers for this machine, if not download from the following link, uninstall all you have done before, and install these [this should cure your problems there are 4 to install]

Epson Download Center
