Hey, Does anyone know how to repair printers.
I have an epson stylus CX5200 all in one unit and my brother left on the printer for a few days and the ink has hardened in the ink heads. does anyone have an idea how to unclog them or somewhere i can take the printer to to have it done..
also, does anyone have a hookup on toner. I need a cartridge for an HP laserjet 4

Use a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol to get those clogs out. Then run a cleaning maintenance on the printer from the computer's options.

I think its called a cradle. Yeah there should be little nozzles/ports on the heads there. Clean those SOB's with alcohol too until there is no more colours there.

Thanks guys. i was hoping this printer wasnt a write-off... i got it on that business depot scam back in the day...
remember the 100$ rebate on the 100$ camera. i bought the camera on line, they said they were out of stock so i argued until they gave me something else... lol I paid 90.00 for a 240.00 printer.
