check drain line while doing a cleaning no ink coming from line got to the pump while in mainance clean i played wit the cap station and pump lines they are clear (flushed) via syringe pulling cleaning fluid through cap station...tried another cleaning no ink so i unhooked black side of cap station and just cleaned magenta got a good flow through that side...reversed and try to clean the black side no ink...it looks like it may be capping station on black side (not sealing)....but i can print black all day long i have ink but not when doing a clean.....would this be right bad top cap station?
Thanks...
 
Have you tried to draw ink with syringe from the pump side of the cap top while the print carriage is in the home position? The cap top is the less expensive part to try first.
