Epson SX535WD printer won't print black
I have an Epson SX535WD inkjet printer which has been working fine for just over a year, but recently the black stops working so pages print just with the colour on them. I tried cleaning the heads and changing cartridges, and that worked for a bit, but now black has given up altogether. Is there any more I can do, or has…

I have a new Lenovo ideapad which comes pre loaded with Windows 8.1. So far it is an appalling user experience and I cannot fathom my way around it. I was advised to download 8.1 to the desktop rather than use the pre-installed App, however nothing has improved. Posters on another thread are describing going back to…

The…
