Need a new printer

[davie69]

My epson rx685 has just informed me that the ink waste pad is saturated and other parts coming to the end of thier service life .
So i need a new printer.
All in one printer needed budget up to about £150
thanx in advance

 

[craigneuk]

[davie69]

This is my vote

EPSON PX730WD Stylus Photo - WAE+

Found you a damn good price too! All I would say is it is quite large so double check the dimensions are ok for you.

I have the same one, and yes it is a bit big but a great machine, think i paid £120 from Amazon for it.

Clean out the pads m8. Rinsed my pads under tap then put them through washing machine in a old pillow case put them back in and reset using service tool. Job done!
P.S make sure u ware gloves my hands were blue for a week.

 

[davie69]

how do you get the pads out

 

[Fergalsworld]

The pads most probably wont even be close to being saturated its a con by epson to get you to pay for a service or buy a new printer

Use this adjustment program to reset your pad counters follow the piccie's
you can do much more but be careful

If you want to physically clean the pads you will have to take the printer apart.

cheers for this mate but every time i run the programme i get a communication error.
error code 21000068

Anyone get this prog for a PX810FW i have already cleaned the inkpads once before but had to pay a tenner for a code for a prog to reset want a free option for next time

thats what i meant didnt know if it worked on your model or not. the printer mark the yid said to get the compatible cartridges are only £1 same as the ones you use just now

 

[davie69]

does anybody if that website mark the yid said to get the printer any good

 

[turner brown]

for 150 i might be thinking of a colour lazer printer depending on what you are printing
and how often it is used

 

[craigneuk]

you can get this one from currys for £94.94
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brother-MFC-5890CN-Network-Multifunction-Printer/dp/B001J724AW
and compatibles are only £1.10 and they are XL's its the one i use

It must have the latest firmware on it which means its locked it
there is a a program that will reset it its free IF you buy a waste ink kit of the them for £9.75
or you can just by the key for £5.99

Could you please pm a link to me as I have the same printer issues and apparently it needs serviced now

Slightly above your budget but if you don't need to print photos then how about this laser printer,

Epson AcuLaser CX17 128MB A4 All-In-One Colour Laser Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

 

[hatab]

oneman keep up, the post was last march, recon he has bought one by now, mind you if he hasn't he has probably saved a but more so it might be in budget now lol
