Tried that. Maybe I should kick it harder.
I contacted Epson on-line chat today and the chap (Joe) after telling me to try another mains socket, basically said its a hardware fault, take it to a repairer!
It cost £90. I think I'll risk having a dig around meself. It can't be more complicated than a B787 can it?
As for HP printers, you are probably right. I went for another Epson as the last one I had lasted eight years.
