Hi All,
I don't usually talk on this list even though I am subscribed to it.
However, I have some advice regarding the Epson printer. I work with
printers, and can tell you that when an Epsons printhead is gone it
needs to be sent in for repair (which would most likely cost around
$100, not to mention the cost of buying a new set of cartridges which
would be in the vicinity of $70).
Therefore the Epson printer in question is only junk. It is possible to
buy a new decent colour inkjet printer these days for under $100.

Kylie,
I've upgraded my sister's printer and she wants to know whether she can
give her old one to someone useful -- it is an EPSON Stylus Colour,
(1995
vintage) and it has just stopped printing black and colour has gone down
hill a bit.
I think it needs a new print head (as opposed to cartridges).
Should it be sent to the tip or would computer angels like it (I'm in
Albany WA for a break)? I can cart it to Perth but if it's not worth it
then I shall dispose of it otherwise.
Thanks for all the good work you people are doing -- I monitor it and
one
day I hope to come along... but not so easy.
Take care and God Bless
Gerry
