Hi Folks The old Epson C84 inkjet here threw a hissy fit this afternoon, just after I fitted a new magenta cartridge. Now flashes the red paper & ink lines alternately, won't light the green 'power' light and won't talk to the PC (or the 'Service utility' - which is reputed to fix things like internal counters).
General googling suggests that it's a 'Maintenance request' - which presumably means it should be taken out side and given a decent burial.
Doncha hate it when things just refuse to be diy-fixed ? Hate throwing (possibly) serviceable stuff away... 'Twas never like that on the old Amstrad daisywheels
