Have been testing the replacement wf7110 for a few days now and all good so far!

The web connect feature will be incredibly handy when im on holiday, ill be sending test prints to it everyday to keep the head working.

If anyone else has an epson with web printing facility id suggest setting it up if you're not going to be printing for a while, atleast then you can minimise clogs!

Thank you to everyone for your help, im glad it was dead on arrival, was starting to think it was me!
