Epson printers unite to cause mayhem

Grrr. When it rains it pours. Why is it that printers and the internet choose to fail, not on an intermittent basis, but with a concerted effort. Both my dad's printer and the printer I brought to my hostel room are refusing to work. My dad's printer was working fine all the way till Sunday, when it just decided it wouldn't print his jobs. Grr. And the one in my hostel room, well it seems to think either that the paper is jammed, or that it has run out of ink. However, I lack the software for the Status Monitor, and without that I can't diagnose the problem! Furthermore, the little red button which I should be able to press in order to inform the printer I have cleared the paper jam is spoilt, so nothing can be printed on that printer either. Hum hum. My dad bought this printer quite some time ago and none of us have any idea where the original software cd has gone to. Epson has drivers available for download on the Internet, but for some reason this particular software downloads incompletely and I can't install it!

Ok enough venting. After one night in the hostel I have come home again! To retrieve some things I forgot and to have a really nice shower. Heh heh. Well tomorrow it's back we go. Gotta go full speed ahead on my project. Yikes, can't believe it's 9.30 already...
