Digital BW, The Print

Peter: If you think your purchase date is anywhere close to being in
the last year, call Epson with the serial number (assuming you
registered it) and ask them if it's eligible for a warranty
replacement. I've heard tales of printers being a bit over a year old
that Epson decided to replace under warranty. 

And, Epson initially swore that I had a Photoshop problem and that it
wasn't the printer. After customer support initially refused a
warranty replacement, I spoke with customer service who did (or maybe
it was the other way around). Anyway it was someone in Long Beach CA
that finally agreed to a warranty swap. 

Good luck.
