Epson printer
The print head assy and roller assy may require changing. It may be worn
or defective. If the printer is out of warranty, it will not pay to service it, unless it is a very high end model. In any case, Epson will not sell the parts or service information, you will have to bring them the printer. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ============================================== WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm Instruments http://www.zoom-one.com/glgtech.htm ============================================== "Guy Sauvageau" wrote in message ...

In any case, Epson will not sell the parts or service information, you will have to bring them the printer. I have three Epson 1200 Photos and one of them had similar problem. With me, it was special bit of teflon that was inserted in plastic head holder and was meant to slide over metal and give the head more or les constant height over the paper. That bit has fallen off its place, so whole holder was kinda hanging and head assembly was dangerously low. Every now and then head has collided with something else during printing and that caused effect that you mention. Take a peek at the point where head holder slides over the metal area... I would snap a photo or two, but right now I'm in a middle of conversion from Win2k to Gentoo Linux and I am lacking the tools at the moment.... Regards, Branko |
