Sad day today that my Epson printer has finally kaput! It had given me faithful service since 2004, printing some beautiful pictures and managing my printed letters and manuscript.
When I tried to print copies of my blog, the error message popped up, telling me that some parts inside the printer has reached the end of its life! It then refused to budge. Only recently at the expo in Suntec, I bought a set of new printer cartridges as a special offer. What shall I do with them now?
Anyway, I sent an email to Epson telling them of my predicament and asking for their advice. So far they have acknowledged my message but has not given me a reply. I checked out Epson web site, and discovered that my printer model has been discontinued. I then checked out which printer would accept my same printer cartridges. Only one printer and one three-in-one. They being the oldest, will be discontinued soon! That puts me in a dilemma.
I need a three-in-one, because it can scan, copy and print photographs. Three functions that I use frequently. I telephoned several shops and not one has stock of the remaining three-in-one printer. One of them even told me that the model has been discontinued.
So what shall I do? I guess I will have to spend some money to buy a new three-in-one printer. I would like to stick with Epson because I have had very good results from them. Or shall I look at other brands? I hope it will not cost too much. Do not have that much money to spend!
Till then....

I took my printer to Epson for repair, only to be told that it would cost me $250! No choice but to dispose of it. Nearly duped by a salesman in Sim Lim Sq., who wanted to sell me a Canon PM500. Phone call to Canon revealed that this model already phased out. Finally bought the latest Canon PM600, a all-in-one printer. Moral of the story - do your market survey before buying. Buy the best you can afford.
