[Computerbank] Epson Printer

[Michelle]

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

PS      Out of interest, I purchased her a HL-1230 Brother laser and it
is 
great value ($440, new and only $113 for a 5,000 page cartridge and 
apparently they are also produced cheaper by a clone with a
warranty--can't 
remember the name).
