Hi all, I'm hoping I can get a bit of advice here...
I am an infrequent printer, I probably only use my printer once every two or three months. The problem I am having is that BRAND NEW out of the box printers don't seem to like sitting idle for that long. I've gone through three new ones in the past year, they work fine when I install them, but when I go to use them two months later, they dont work at all. I've tried replacing the ink, but its just a waste of money, as it doesn't fix anything.
So question 1 is...is this normal? If so, what is happening? I am guessing that there is some issue with the print heads...but who knows...
Question 2 is...what is the solution for infrequent printers like myself? Its pretty silly to buy a new printer ever 2-3 months just to print once, but its a pain taking stuff to a proffesional printer to get printed...any thoughts?
Thanks!
