H there,

Try the forum http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/26282 for the C82 but the site http://www.fixyourownprinter.com has lots of information and I believe service manuals. My experience with the C82 is I managed to fix one and one recommendation was to use a particular type of ink that did not contain the durabright that the epson cartridges contain. I have also destroyed the print heads in one C82 using the techniques outlined so as one says the usual disclaimers go.

There is a guy in Perth (Canning Vale) selling large ink reservoirs for a variety of inkjet printers. Cannot remember the name of the company but could do just about any printer.


I too have gone laser. Saumsung C555 with 3 yr warranty - has xerox engine in it. Under A$600.

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.
