Pump trouble maybe?!!!

Exactly what type of problem are you having with the printer? If you have ink flowing through the printhead and ink flowing through the captop then to test the pumps --
First check that the drain tubes aren't clogged then, the easiest way to test is to pull up the drain tubes and do a cleaning and see if any ink comes out. Do you have the old or new style pumps? If you have the old style pumps you will see a white gear on them. The old style pumps are prone to failure and usually leak when they fail. I haven't seen a failure of the new pumps yet. There is a conversion kit to switch to the new pumps. It is easy if you have the directions. The new pumps require firmware v 6.30 or higher so you may have to upgrade the firmware. A new pump and conversion kit should be around $100.
