If I haven't used my printer for a couple of years, can I buy new ink cartridges and will it still work?
-
We have an all-in-one epson printer, but haven't used the printer for about two years. My question is, if we buy new ink cartridges and try to print with it, should it work? There was nothing wrong with it, the ink just ran out. We don't want to waste money on new ink cartridges if the printer won't work since it's been so long. Thanks in advance!

Answer:
The ink cartridges themselves may be dried up. The print-heads may also be clogged, too.

You maybe lucky as the 7dayshop does sell cleaning cartridges for some Epson printers. If there is a set for your printer I would get them. The last time I got them they were on about £1.99 each. These will un-clog the print heads and get you going. www.7dayshop.com
You should understand that today printers are sold cheap as a way to make money on ink. And like PCs, new machines are so much faster and feature rich they make older machine into useless junk. Today for $150 you can buy a brand name printer that scans and copy's, has a card reader and connects wireless to your home network, ie works with all the PCs in the house, prints fast, sends and receives faxes, ...
If the printer was in working condition and without any mechanical problems, new ink cartridges should make it operational again.
