We live in a throw away society now days. Once it's done it's cheaper to buy a new one rather than fix the old one, in my case it wasn't even old.
I bought an Epson multi function centre CX3900 and within a month it would not start up. I didn't even use it much, scanned a couple of A4's, printed probably 15 or so prints and it was dead. Of course it was still under warranty and they had to replace the main circuit board (more than the cost of the thing). Just goes to show they don't make em like they used to.
My previous printer lasted one year and two days, two days after the warranty had run out. It would have cost more than a newy to repair it. Do they program these things to expire just after the warranty runs out????????
You will feel much better if you take your old expired printer out into the backyard and smash it up with a large hammer.
