Just to note… That trapdoor and tube mystery is actually the access door and waste ink tube.

The tubing leads from the priming/cleaning pump (at the front of the printer) to a tank full of absorbent padding which soaks up the waste ink until the dreaded “service required” pops up.

You can see what I mean on the wasteink.co.uk site where there’s a guide on modifying the R285 (The UK version of the R280/R290)..

When you say “standard DVD” you mean its a printable DVD right? I just had to make sure. Also when I printed I used the CD printing software that came with the printer, is that what you are using? With those two things covered I never experienced any problems, you may want to print a calibration CD, which can be done through said software.
