Hi tenkros
I have included the information for the E609 printer.
Again make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
I have included a url to get the firmware updates. You will have to select the proper model. There are 3 listed.

Here is a document for cleaning the printhead. Go to Solution six, step four: Clean the printhead.
