Digital BW, The Print

Hi there,

I am interested in purchasing an Epson 1400 currently advertised for 
sale. It is well priced but has a fault described as follows:

"This is a brand new printer but im selling because it has a paper 
registration error (basically means that it will print perfectly up 
until it reaches the last couple of inches of the page and then the 
printer will not hold the paper in place while it finishes printing so 
the bottom of your page may not be aligned properly.  I've been told 
this is a common fault (known as a paper registration error) and can be 
fixed easily "

Dies anyone on the board know whether such a fault is in fact common 
with these printers and know whether it is indeed fixed easily?

Thanks and regards

Alistair
