Got that working this time but when I tried to check out I got the following from the Paypal site: "The recipient of this shopping cart link is not an approved shopping cart user. Please review your selection and try again." Something weird's going on. Jon.
From: Shooter on 21 May 2005 06:40 Jon, I had no problem with Paypal either as this seems to be the only payment method they take which is fine for me as I am in the UK.. I can only suggest you email them at admin(a)inkjetprinterhelp.us and ask what is happening. I had no problem whatever in paying with Paypal and the delivery by post from the US to UK infact the charge was $10 and with the exchange rate it cost me ý5.76, needles to say I was delighted. However if it is just the adjustment program you require I could Zip it and email to you providing my ISP will allow 4.2mb zipped as email. Please email me if you want me to try and send it.

From: Arthur Entlich on 21 May 2005 08:38 The little suction pump reminds me of a miniature milking machine. I wish the problem with the tube coming off was just the C80. I have helped people with this problem with C82, C84, CX 5200, CX 4600 all in one. AND, worse yet, the dang tube tends to fall off during cartridge replacement, so all the sudden the printer stops working after a cartridge has been replaced. Worse still, Epson is very tight-lipped about it, and if it occurs out of warranty, they have nothing to say at all. I find that approach unreasonable. This is a manufacturing or design defect, and Epson ought to take responsibility for it.

It is true that a lot of dye ink components are alcohols and water, and that over time they do evaporate, leading to a very conservative number used for waste inkpad replacement. Glycols are much slower to evaporate, and pigment inks have a lot of glycol and residue, so I would be more careful with pigment ink and waste pad replacement.
