My HP 9180 A3+ printer has finally and irretrievable died. I had 6 (yes 6) warranty replacements during the extended warranty period and it has had numerous repairs and head replacements since the end of the warranty period. As I got a new set of cartridges with each warranty replacement, I never had to buy any, so it was extremely economical to run . The feed mechanism has now broken and my excellent and very good value local repairer, says no parts are now available and it is uneconomical to repair further anyway. Pity as when it worked, it was an excellent printer. I have been offered an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 A2 printer, which has only had 400 prints and has been refurbished by the local official Epson agent to as new. It will be around €450. That is not quite the bargain it seems, as the inks are nearly empty and a new set is €400. What I am worried about is the printer dying when it is left over the winter, with the ink drying out in the heads. I know you can get a service cartridge and I would propose to run one of these ever autumn, prior to putting it to bed for the winter. Has anyone any experience of leaving one of these printers for extended periods? Wilson
