Have you tried doing a head clean diagnostic test on your printer, I apologise if you have, no disrespect meant.
Failing that you can ususally find a local firm in the thomson locaal directory or phone book who can look at it and give you a quote before carrying out work, however the last twicce I have had a printer problem it haas been more effective to buy an new printer..
Word of warning do not make the same mistake I did and buy a Lexmark, great all-in-one printer but you cannot refil the cartridges and you don't get to use all the ink. A big con.
