Hi John, Kevin & Robert & WAMUG'ers, Many thanks for the comments and suggestions. I am reading through Robert's notes with regards to cleaning the nozzles, and failing this I will see if the firm in Mt Hawthorn can help.
Must say that whilst it worked, the CX5300 was fantastic. I am currently using it to digitize my old photos - have done hundreds so far. If for some reason the printer cannot be fixed cheaply, either by myself or the Mt Hawthorn firm, then I'll use it only as a scanner albeit a big one!! Might impress those who do not know anything about such devices!! With regard to the HP 14XX series, well Kevin, my wife was only just asking me to get her a printer ....... Just wished I had read your email before going shopping this afternoon. I will look at it and make her happy during the week. Thanks again guys. I do appreciate the rapid response and your ideas.
