I have an Epson Stylus CX3200 printer/copier/scanner.?
-
My Epson Stylus CX3200 has suddenly stopped printing , it will still copy and scan and shows me how much ink is left ,which is almost full for both color and black , is it worth spending money taking it to an IT shop ? or would I be better buying a new one , considering they can be bought cheaply .

Answer:
I also had an Epson stylus CX3200 and it started giving me problems after 9 months of usage. Getting a printer repaired costs as much as purchasing a new one. So, in order to purchase a new printer i did a lot of research on the internet and i found few websites which provide detailed information about various printer brands. You can check one out for yourself and find something best for you.

I had one of thee models for a few years until recently. One of its major faults was print jobs being held up on the 'printer spool' this had to be cleared before I could print another job. right clicking printer icon & selecting 'cancel job' did no use, I always ended up having to go into 'System tools' from the start menu & turn off auto printing from there, then had to restart pc, go back into 'Syst. tools' reset to 'Auto' & turn printer off & on again. Pain in the A**e, chucked it out the other month & got me a Brother DCP. Should have got rid of it years ago, drinks ink like an sponge anyway. Def not worth getting it repaired... chuck it... its cheaper. M

If its under a year old then Epson should fix it free as its still under warranty. If over a year old then probably cheaper to buy a new printer. I personally don't like Epsons has they are not built to last.
Eye see!
Try uninstalling and installing again, one of the drivers might have been removed.

It most definitely does not pay to repair considering that you can get a brand new Epson R280 for $60, which is a much better printer and even prints directly on to DVDs. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?oid=63069504&RMID=200903_high_inventory&RRID=1013876963 As someone who was in the computer hardware business for years (though I rarely sold printers since I couldn't compete with the crazy rebates) I have always recommended Epson. The print quality is excellent, even on plain paper. I have photos I printed on a 640 about ten years ago hanging in my office which still look good, though not as good as the ones from the CX8400 on glossy paper. The warranty is excellent. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one. I had one customer who needed this. He called one afternoon and had the replacement two days later. Another client bought a Canon. It needed two repairs within a few months. Each time it was taken to the repair center, then picked up a few days later. This client runs a specialty printing business and this really hurt. They have since bought an Epson and have had no down time since. Epson has also made things easier for their customers by standardizing their cartridges. Most of their printers use one of two types. The three-color plus black use T069 (CX5000 CX6000 CX7000 CX7400 CX7450 CX8400 CX9400FAX CX9475Fax NX100 NX105 NX400 Workforce 30/40/500/600 and C120) and the 5-color plus black use T078 (R260 R280 R380 RX580 RX595 and RX680). This means you should be able to find a lot of people who use the same cartridges you do and possibly buy in quantity. When it's time to replace the printer, the next model will probably also use the same ones. Though I am quite happy with the results of the CX8400, if you really want the absolute best photo quality, go with one of the 5-color ones like the R280. The biggest complaint about all inkjets is the high cost of ink cartridges. http://ccs-digital.com has cartridges for about $4.50 each. They also have a unique product - a two-piece cartridge where the ink is in a separate tank inside the cartridge. When the ink runs out, you replace just the ink tank and the original chip resets itself to full. By keeping the same chip, you save 1.50 per cartridge. Ink tanks are only $3 and hold 50% more ink than disposable cartridges.
