Epson Photo 1400

I've got one of the above printers that doesn't print at all due to a clogged up printhead. Over the past 10 years I've gone through 5 or 6 Epson printers, including some fairly expensive A3 models, all due to the same problem.

Is there a way to clean or even replace the printhead? I was once told it wasn't worth it because a head would cost the same as a new printer but that one was a £60 A4, this one was over £200.

Have also been looking at new printers but somehow they're all wireless copiers and scanners which I don't need as I've got an old HP that I use as a flatbed. What I want is direct CD/DVD printing like on the old Epsons.

Any ideas?

    You can send an e-mail here and ask for an Epson Cleaning Manual

    e-printerhelp( at)mvps(dot) org (have written it as he posts it to avoid bots etc), just replace the (at) with @ and (dot) with .

    If nothing there works, (unlikely) you can e-mail him again, though use a new e-mail as he isn't fond of replies which include the manual he sent you :)
