Chuck it away. Printers cost next to nowt these days. They're like Gillette who practically give razors away then shaft you with the blades: they make the money on ink cartridges. So buy the one that has the cheapest cartridges and sells them in individual colours so you don't have to throw a gallon of unused red away when you change them.

Try this software, it's a mare to use but it sorts out the main "printer needs a service" type problems.

Epson R300 is a quality printer Monty and well worth saving if poss.
