Digital BW, The Print

You are correct that the 3000 service manual is available for purchase
(although I had no luck actually purchasing one from National Parts Depot,
but that is another story).

BUT the other manuals offered on that site (and by many other people) are
not available for purchase from Epson or anyone else (someone please correct
me if I am wrong). And as an previous owner of a 7000, currently owner of
two 3000's and two 9xxx printers and possibly a 10000 soon, I have found
these service manuals (not user manual, actual service manuals) to be
invaluable. My personal belief is these manuals should be available to the
owners of these printers. The information included in them is essential for
the proper preventive maintenance and operation of these printers.
