Digital BW, The Print

and it seems to be operating just fine.  I used the prefilled 
version of the CIS.  Now, what do I do with the the hinged lid since 
it no longer closes properly and even seems like it might crimp the 
plastic tubes from the ink bottles to the cartridge.  The printer is 
located in a place which requires me to lean over the top of the 
printer to put paper into the sheet feeder or to install the roll 
paper holder and roll paper. Should I remove the hinged lid and come 
up with some kind of cover to keep out the dust?

That's what I did, Jerry, but at the time I think some others were 
using the foam earplugs hardware stores have as small bumpers to hold 
the lid ajar. I've forgotten how they attached them, but I remember 
worrying they might come loose and fall in. Of course, so might 
something else as you lean over the printer, but for some reason I 
never worry about that.

The Epson store on Epson's web site used to sell dust covers. I use 
plastic bags to keep the scanners from getting jealous.

If they have a flat bottom, you could use regular double stick tape, or 
(the even stronger) industrial strength foam tape.
