Question Printer help, please!!!

This may not be the right spot to ask this, but here goes anyway: I often like to print out card tutorials, card sentiments, project directions, etc. and am having a devil of a time with my Epson WF-3540 inkjet color printer. Seems that no matter what I do, it will not print a readable copy of anything. I have replaced all the color cartridges, cleaned the print heads and every other thing that was suggested to me, to no avail. One friend told me the print heads on inkjets dry up quickly and why didn't I just forget about the color and get a laser printer. I do want to be able to print in color, though. Anyone have a suggestion on a reliable printer he/she is satisfied with? I am really frustrated right now. TIA for any and all advice.

I suggest you contact Epson about your printer.
I've had good luck in talking with their representatives.
Hope this helps you out.

I gave up on inkjet printers a while back and went to a laser printer - I love it!!!! You can buy a color laser printer - they seem more expensive up front, but considering how many times we replaced cartridges in the ink jet that dried up and all the time we spent doing the steps you mention above, it was worth the extra money.  The toner cartridges last so much longer than ink cartridges and never dry out. I have a brother laser printer, I would highly recommend one.
