printer fix - Step4
To launch a new Flickr Group called Tech Repair, here's a few (uninspiring!) photos of a friend's Epson printer which stopped working, but was easily fixed with a bit of Googling...
See the full tech-repair post here
It's an Epson C42 that has reached it's "end of service" (see photos), a chip that stops it working after a while, when it estimates the ink-pads are full. I know of someone else that threw out their Epson printer because of the same problem. The printers are otherwise in full working order... they've just got some excess ink in them... what a waste!!
(rant on) In my opinion it's just bad design and "planned obsolescence" - money-grubbing bastards! (rant off).
Other than that I quite like Epson printers ;-)
Join the group and spread the word... hopefully we'll save a few devices and a bit of landfill space :)
