Re: Advice from the Epson Rep: Turn it Off - 18 years ago
Been using an R300 for the past two years and a Stylus 750 for five years with generic ink carts (G&Gs in the R300 and Ink4Arts in the 750) and never had a skip or clog and have never turned either printer off - except for the two days after Katrina.

Re: How Long Does My CRT Have? - 18 years ago
I've had Viewsonics that have gone for years after the first indication of such a problem and had one that dropped dead within days. When you start hearing as well as seeing strange things, get your wallet out. Whatever the problem is, it can't be economically fixed.by PeterW - Tips and Deals
