Hi Neil, I have not been avoiding your questions, just time has not permitted me to answer as yet. I will get back with a more thorough answer to 'Permissions' in Snow Leopard when possible. Also I don't profess to be an expert on Permissions, I don't profess to be an expert in anything ;-)

Hello People, My Epson TX700W has had Service and the Printer's Ink Pads replaced back in November. This printer 'is a heavy drinker', goes through Ink like there's no tomorrow. It has been previously serviced at PrintCom 53 Railway Pde, Mt. Lawley. They are very good, but hard to find and a

Ronni T4 Technology did a very good job on my R2880 but I suspect that is TOO much of a long drive! My own experience, where I do a lot of nonartwork printing, was to go to a colour laser printer (FujiXerox DocuPrint C525A) a decision that I have never regretted! I retain an SP1290S and

Thanks Severin, I had thought I do need another break down south, but can't afford the time at present. T4 Technology are in Bunbury as well as Albany, I wonder if their Bunbury shop does Epson Repairs? Hey Stuart (Evans), does your Bunbury Shop do Epson Repairs please? Cheers, Ronni On

Hi Ronni, I have a bad experience with West Country Office Machines in Bunbury. Whilst this experience was related to a Brother printer, the lack of service effort probably will relate to all makes. The service comprised a lack of knowledge and considerable delay in delivery; no doubt to a lack

Hi Ronni I have two Epson inkjet printers (R230 and R2400) that at different times required ink pad replacement and resetting. Rather than do that, which is an inconvenience and an ongoing expense, I re-routed the overflow ink tubes (1 on the R230, 2 on the R2400) out the back of the

Hi Darrel, Thanks for this info. I certainly cannot fault the service I have received at PrintCom, I've found them excellent. It is the inconvenience of getting the printer to them and picking it up. Surely other than EPSON Authorised Service agents can replace the printer's Ink Pads?

Hi Mike, Thanks. I agree with you about the inconvenience and ongoing cost of owning an Epson Printer. I have always used and recommended Epson Printers, they have never given me any problems. It's only since I've gone to Multi-Function and Wireless Network printers that I've noticed heavy
