Epson tech support like everyone else knows nothing

[Dav]

i feel the need for a rant.

 

I phone epson tech support after finding my printer throws ot blank pages.

 

"you will need to buy a new printer the eqivilant model is about £80"

 

so in a last ditch effort i do some research, take it apart to find all i need to do is clear a blockage in the print head waste tube.

 

 

does anyone else seem to think that these ASSS prey on the avarge joe user a bit too much when they could easily do this themselvs or pay somone with the know how a considerable amount less to do it for them.

 

 

I know the responce will be "welcome to the capitalist world" but still...

Depends on what you are printing, in some cases (depending on the quality of the printer in question), you would be correct.

[Dr Brain]

It also depends on the printer. There are some really nice inkjets out there.

[»doc flabby]

they still all suck. the amount of money you spend on carts you could save by buying a color laser...

Boycott Epson. -_-

depends, I hardly use my printer, in 4 years I've replaced the black once, and the color never. I just use either work/college printers if I need to print something cause they're cheeper and free.

Better still the !@#$%^&* i removed from said tube.

 

turns out this is a frequent problem with all the C8x printers they have made (and others using the same ink) youd think they would have tried to fix their ink formula by now...

 

 

 

 

Laser printers are good for high amounts of printing but i dont do that much in reality, i replace my cartridges once per 6 months and a whole ream of paper will last me a year.
