All Lights Flashing On Epson 880 Stylus Printer
Ink Levels have not been visible for about three months which have
not been a problem and may be unrelated to the flashing lights. I changed ink cartridges and printed five full pages of address labels and after that was accomplished the lights began flashing and of course the printer won't function. I do not know if this is a fatal error or can the printer be restored. I tried several things to no avail. I have had the printer for about four years and has been good to me up until now. Need advice please! :crybaby: |

All Lights Flashing On Epson 880 Stylus Printer
Thanks for everyone's help in this matter. I became so frustrated that
I junked this printer and bought a new one. When I contacted Epson they said this problem was unrepairable by me and to send it to a repair center. I consider this machine like a TV, kitchen hand mixer or microwave. They all are inexpensive and expendable and not worthy of outside repair. Thanks again! |

By most accounts the 880 is a pretty good printer that doesn't have chipped tanks and has very inexpensive ink available. |

To use Toothfairy's own words, "crybaby" seems appropriate.
This person is one of the most impatient people I have ever had the "pleasure" of having to deal with. He emailed me twice on Saturday 7 hours apart, I suppose because I did not get back to his 8:30 AM Saturday email frustrated him. As people know, I try to answer emails within 24-48 hours, and it is rare that I don't. It just so happened that a whole bunch of pretty intense personal stuff happened this weekend, which I won't get into here, that delayed my getting on line for a day. During this same time period "Toothfairy" posted twice here. So within a nine hour period, he posted twice here, and maybe more elsewhere I don't know about, emailed me twice, and because he didn't get a reply in under 24 hours, he "junked" the printer and bought a new one. Well, you know what... I have NO sympathy at all. This person's sense of "entitlement" to my life and others doesn't deserve any sympathy or empathy. I don't normally "expose" people who email me privately (and I won't expose this person's real name) but it's a real slap in the face when someone comes for help, demanding immediate response from a group of helpful volunteers, and isn't even willing to wait 24-48 hours ON A WEEKEND, for a reply, so we waste our time trying to resolve the issue and he's already off buying himself a new printer. So, fine, he tossed one of Epson's best made and cheapest to run printers. Probably the only printer that surpasses it for economy and durability is the SC900/SC980. Hope he enjoys his new one. To "Toothfairy": Your quote "I consider this machine like a TV, kitchen hand mixer or microwave. They all are inexpensive and expendable and not worthy of outside repair." If that's true, then why did you bother us all? I think you have a similar attitude about your "appliances" as you do about people. We, or at least our time, is "expendable.
