I sell printers and have done so for 8+ years. With the price of printers today
almost any inkjet has become a dixiecup throw away. I have a c80 that is as
good as the day i bought it, and just bought a c84 with the dura bright inks
that are water proof. Also bought a Lexmark all in one 6150 and have put a ream
of paper through it in the last month. HP will never cross my door again, I see
a return rate of 40% + every week at the store.

I had an Epson 400 which served me well for years - up until I had
similar problems as you describe. I went so far as dismantling it and
soaked the printhead/carriage in water to try to free up any clogs, but
no improvement. Replacing the cartridge on the Epsons does not replace
the printhead like on HP brands, so if that was the cause (or worse), I
thought it cheaper and less hassle to just go buy a new printer. Now I
have a newer, better printer with a warranty and less headaches.
