Help!

I'm going off to college in 4 days, and my printer is giving me problems.

It it an Espson cx5200 all-in-one unit.

Whenever I try to print in 10.2, it works for like 10 seconds, then updates its status to stopped in Print Center.

So, it basically won't print anything.

I think its got to be something about it interfacing with my powerbook. Maybe I need a new usb cable!?

The cable is not plugged into a hub either.

Please help if you know anything.

It works so well scanning and copying, it just won't print

I have heard this fixes alot.


... how do I go about repairing them?

I would guess something like disk utility, but Im not sure, I have never had to repair them.


thanks!

Use the Disk Utilities in the Utilities folder or go to versiontracker. com and
search for a program called Cocktail (I recommend this since it does many different maintenance jobs).
