Bob: As a general rule, you can buy a new printer for about the same, or sometimes even less, than what you can have your old printer repaired for. Just to let you know: Epson Company, won't actually take back your out of warranty printer for repairs. You would have to take it to an Epson Authorized Service Dealer for repairs and service...It's possible that you may have a different problem, which unfortunatly seems to be quite common on the C82/C84 series. If you were to do a search on this Printer Repair Site [under your Epson C82 printer], you would see that you are not alone in your problem. I've read several posted messages on this Printer Repair Site on just that particular problem. I recommend that you do a general search on the "fixyourownprinter.com" printer repair site, under your C82 printer and then you can read about other peoples experiences, their advise and even what they have tried, sometimes successfully. It seems like most of the problems are not actually related to clogging, or even a bad or empty ink cartridge, but is usually more of a Hardware/Parts Failure, but no way for me to really know. It seems to happen most of the time, just by simply repacing the ink cartridges, as normal. You might want to check out the "Stylus C82/C84 & CX-5200 Blank Output" information page, put out by Compass Micro Inc, at http://www.compassmicro.com/tip_detail.cfm?TechTipID=23 . I know this information does not really give you that much to go on, but I felt you should know about other peoples reports, just in case it happens to apply in your case. Look for an e-mail from me, with some previously posted messages, by other people...Good Luck! Denny Conway
