Many thanks,

Not sure where you can buy one maybe Ebay but have you tried to clean it with alcohol?

The roller is past that stage! Actually, I cleaned it with 'platten cleaner', which is the correct thing to do. Alcohol just bleeds the oil from the rubber and eventually causes it to go brittle/stiff.

I'm really looking for a supplier of spares/parts, thanks.

is it not in warrantly, looks a newish model to me, parts for Inkjets are not easy to get and normally cost 90% the value of a new printer!

Jebus I still have a can of platen cleaner when I used to maintain dot matrix printers, best of luck as you seem to know what you want. Maybe email Epson sales and try to "blag" a spare.
