Does anyone have instructions on how to manually clean an Epson R300 as i am having problems with one coloured ink not printing.I have used the nozzle check and printer cleaning on the printer itself but were wondering if there is another way?

I had a similar problem with my epson c84 when i put in a new black ink cartridge. Nozzle check and cleaner didnt seem to help so i jsut kept doing it over and over until it started. Must have done the nozzle clean and check around 15 times :-/ but it got it working at least.

You might want to try the SSC Service Utility for Epson printers, it suggests that it has:

Separate cleaning of color and black heads for all Epson inkjet printers, powerful cleaning mode

@josh85x

When you do this procedure doesn't it use loads of ink.I have done this for about 6 tries so far

@jbloggs

May give it a try thanks as long as i can remove the program when it is sorted out so that i can revert back to the original epson software.
