My printer, an Epson Stylus Color 600, is a couple of years old. I used it with my Mac successfully enough, and now I have it connected to the PC, though working with Epson Color 800 drivers. But lately it has started to print rather faintly, with white lines running through the black print. I have replaced the black cartridge, but that didn't help. I took out the colour cartridge and gave it a shake, and ink splashed lavishly out, so it's presumably still full - and in any case it's not printing in colour with the 800 drivers. I have wiped the track across which the ink cartridge travels, and this sorted it for a few days. Any other ideas, or should I toss the thing? I formerly had the 800 drivers, wherever they went, and even then it was printing oddly, with everything a nightmarish red like a view on Mars. What is the consensus on the best printer at the moment? I had and loved a Hewlett Packard Deskjet 340, which was the workhorse of its time; it lasted for years and then drank a cup of tea and expired. Apparently its motherboard was drenched, but it's all right otherwise, so I still have faint hopes of finding one whose motherboard is alive, since I have a million cartridges of ink for it.
