I screwed up the Epson Stylus Color 740 so that now it only flashes it's lights and doesn't print. It was working happily with Windoze XP and when tried to change the cartridge I lost patience, thwarted the cartridge/carriage(?) return. I've tried ignoring it. I've unplugged it for days. I've tried - unsuccessful;y - to run head cleaning and the other utilities. I've removed the cartridges and replaced them with new ones. Nada/Zip/Zilch results.

Also have an Epson Stylus Color 740i that I can't get to print with the G4 MDD running 10.4.11 but I haven't tried the 740i with the Gateway PC & XP

I have a large # of cartridges that work for both of them and, like many others, am not rolling in bucks so I really want at least one of these suckers to work again. It'd be ideal if each of them would play nicely so that I had a working printer on each trailing edge computer...

I realize this isn't enough info but am not quite sure where to start providing what kind of info is needed.

TIA,

Tunalue
