The people that I do voluntary work for recently had a similar problem with an Epson printer - C65 or C85 - not sure which.

We took it to a firm called Critical Link in Mount Hawthorn. Apparently these printers have a "priming pump" which had ceased to work.

The cost of the pump was just over $26 plus labour $60. And they gave us the broken bit back.

Critical Link pecialise in Epson and seem to be very busy - but it may be worth a try.

Hi everyone,

To add to Tony's comments, I have an Epson CX5300 which has been kept in
immaculate condition but just simply does not print at all!! Neither the
black or colour printing work, probably with the jets all clogged up.

I just wish the inkjet manufacturers would make their printers serviceable
by the user, specially the cleaning of the jets. I did everything that the
book says but no go.

By the way that's the 3rd and last Epson inkjet printer, of whatever brand,
I will purchase. Since then I bought a cheap Brother laser - functions very
well with my Mac. I now strongly recommend my relatives and friends not to
purchase inkjets unless they buy one for well under $100- then throw away as
soon as the ink runs out!! A waste nonetheless ....

If anyone knows of someone who could service my CX5300, cheaper than a
replacement scanner, please let me know.

Regards,

Philippe

 It was cheaper to replace my old printer rather than repair it. As I
 result I have four unopened ink cartridges that do not fit my new
 printer:
 TO 321 Black, TO 422 Cyan, TO 423 Magenta, TO 424 Yellow (all for use
 with Epson Stylus C82/CX5100, CX5300)

 Say $50 for the lot.
