Printer Repair Man To The Rescue
By Calista Joyner
There’s just nothing more frustrating when it’s time to print
an important document than finding you have printer problems and
it seems to have rolled over and died on you. After trying all
the tricks you know to cajole the printer back into action, you
finally decided there’s nothing left to do but drop kick it, or
call someone for printer repair.
Even at that, if you’re like most people, you’ll
come back, open up that cover one more time, test the connections,
press the reset button, jiggle the ink cartridge, search the paper
path for a jam, examine every area to try to find a clue. Then
you’ll sit down, review your options and open up the printer
repairs computer software to diagnose the problem or just try
to print again.
Cost Of Printer Low, Cost Of Ink High
These days, with the cost of new printers so low, it can be a
tough choice. Is it best just to get a new printer? Or is it worth
trying for printer repair? And, what if you pay for service but
then they tell you there’s no hope. Money down the drain
and still no printer.
Much of the decision about whether to call for repair or not
will come down to how much you spent on your printer in the first
place. If you spent under $100 for it to begin with, then you
will probably do just as well to buy a new one.
You May Need A Professional Repairer For An Expensive Printer
However, if you have a cheap printer, but you’ve invested in
a stockpile of ink for it, and those cartridges don’t fit any
models of currently available printers, may it makes sense to
try to figure out what has gone wrong, and see if printer replacement
parts might solve your problem and save your ink stash.
If you have a more expensive printer, either one that does high-end
color reproductions, or one that includes scanning and faxing
functions in addition to printing, or a laser printer as opposed
to an inkjet, then computer printer repairs will probably make
more sense in that instance.
Check Out Your Warranty Coverage
Before spending money on printer repair services, be sure to
check what kind of warranty coverage you have, and see if it can
be repaired or replace under the warranty.
Even if you are outside of your warranty coverage, it can’t
hurt to contact the company to see what they can do for you. There
are instances reported where the company is so eager to be sure
you continue buying their ink cartridges that they may go ahead
and replace your printer.
Authorised Repair Services In Your Area
If you are not fortunate enough for that, then you will want
to check with the manufacturer for a listing of authorized repair
services in your area. If no one is authorized in your area, then
it is probably best to send the printer to the manufacturer for
repair, to be sure the repairs are done according to manufacturer
specifications.
When it is time to decide if you should seek out printer repair,
or simply send your old printer to the trash heap and get a brand
new one, be sure to take some time to know your options so that
you are making the best use of your money.

Give Me Just The Printer Facts.....
My printer will not print. What do I do?
The very first step before calling in a professional
is very simple yet often overlooked in the frustration of not
being able to print. Check to make sure that the printer is plugged
in and is connected to your computer.
This may seem humorous but you would be
surprised how often this occurs. Cords can become loose or someone
may have accidentally unplugged the power cord. Also, make sure
that your printer has paper.
Save yourself some time, money and embarrassment
by checking this very first. After those have been checked, look
to see if there are any flashing symbols on the display.
You will have to refer to your owner’s
manual to understand what these symbols mean. If it is not the
connection, paper, ink or a paper jam, you may have to call in
a printer repair service company to fix the problem.
