After years of computing, in which I managed to fix most things, I have finally been stuffed.
It wouldn't be so bad if it was just some pile of junk that I could ditch, but it is my "new" Epson CX5400 that has me by the proverbials.
While in the UK, the heads dried out. Staples say tough luck, as it's over a year old. I think this is an appalling way to treat customers...but back to the point.
The inks were all new this summer, and very little used. I was already freaking out cos of the rate at which the new ones were going. $ 1.00 per letter is what I am expecting from this joke of a machine. Most of the ink goes while it farts about cleaning the heads.
The manager at Staples says that the falling prices mean that I just throw it away...scanner an all. No help from the ridiculous help line. "Automated replies only"
It seems that there is a continuous stream of victims who are all saying the same thing. Now I'm stuck with not even being able to get the liquid gold out of the (genuine) refills.
Anyone know of a way to clean the heads? And if they are easy to get out.
What a day!!! I spent the morning finding a short on my Chevy Blazer. 1.5 amps was disappearing into THE MIRROR!!!! The timer circuit for the little map lights in it have a dedicated chip and 30 or so other components. The worlds gone mad!!!
Rant over...
