Hi...
Have a printer question. Guess it's a bit off topic,
but perhaps some of you may have experienced it and have
a little advice...
Epson 640. Worked well until now, but it's invented a
terribly frustrating habit. Seems that once every two or
three uses it prints a few lines - perhaps a dozen, then
goes into an (apparently) endless line feed loop. Apparently
because I've watched it eat a dozen sheets of paper, but then
got real tired and frustrated.
When I say a dozen lines, don't mean clean cut, but rather the
"slowly building" lines that we see being printed.
Printing text, it will print a half dozen "finished" lines,
then start line-feeding.
Googled for the fault; no help. Removed and re-installed
the drivers; no help. Removed and cleaned and re-installed
the cables; no help.
Hate to throw it away because I have a *lot* of ink cartridges
here for it. But also hate watching it waste photo paper.
Any advice, or do I just bite the bullet and replace it?
Thanks, and take care.
