Help - I think that my printer is dead!
Hi,
My printer, after not being used for a few months, refuses to work. I have an Epson 740, which being the first epson USB printer should be owned by loads of you out there. I have plugged it into my graphite iBook SE (DVD and FW), my rev/B iMac and myPowerbook 1400 via serial, and none of them recognise the printer. The printer seems fine when I switch it on, however, making all the normal noises.
The only thing that I can think of is that it is currently out of colour ink. Now, I'd think that it would still tell the computer that its out of ink. So, I ask you all, is it worth buying new ink carts just to try, or should I accept that it is dead?
Thanks for your help in advance,
David
