Digital BW, The Print

OK, now I'm starting to get really mad.  I finally moved and
settled in my new house, and when I had used up most of my ink in my
1280 I decided it was time to get that replacement on it's way to me,
now that I have an address and stuff.  (I've owned it about 5 months and
from day one it would only print about 2 photos and then the black ink
would start to clog - repeated head cleanings always made it worse -
Windex did nothing - only cure was to sit overnight and then it would be
good for another two photos the next day).
     So I get the replacement today, unpack it, connect it, install the
ink, and the red light just stays on.  No power light.  I tried Epson
interactive support on-line and get to the point where they tell me I
have to call Epson.  So I called Epson, go through a couple things, and
the tech says it's DOA and there's nothing that can be done.  I asked
him if this was a new printer, and he confesses that all replacements
are refurbished printers.  He's sending a third printer.
     Didn't I read about the new Piezo using Canon printers now?  I'm
real close to bidding Epson a fond farewell here.

Thanks,
Ed
