Hoping someone can help me out. I'm running colargate PS7 with my Roland SC-545 printer. All of a sudden I can't seem to print files, there seems to be a connection issue. When I send a file to print it stays printing at 0% and the busy light on my Roland doesn't flash like usual when...

Just turned on the machine again and refilled inks. Seems to be back to normal today! Must have been the caps or dampers. Not sure why it didn't work yesterday but did today but I wont complain!

Little update. New dampers and caps arrived, replaced the 4 caps and both dampers on the cyan and magenta which I'm having problems with. Done two cleaning cycles and the ink still didn't come through. Both cyan and magenta dampers are empty. I then thought it must be the ink motor. Since I'm...
