Paraprosdokians: I just learned that word two weeks ago and here it is again. Winston Churchill was a master of them. Thanks Mark.
Really thought rear feed might be a winner but the paper still creases. I tried three different letter sized photo papers and same result with all.
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
Thanks for the idea. My 837 went for at least 5 years.
I will give it a whirl.
Thanks.
For clarification, letter sized and larger photo papers must be loaded from rear or can be loaded from the rear?
Thanks.
Thanks. My understanding is the rear feeder is for 11 x 17 paper. The "owner's manual" clearly states that 8.5 x 11 photo paper is to be loaded from the front in the lower tray. I formerly had an Epson 837 which gave me over five years of no problem service. Thanks again.
Thanks all for the advice. Under warranty conditions I could have gotten a 4th but I have lost interest. The final straw came when Epson asked me after taking a survey if I would like a technician to call me. I answered yes but never heard a thing. I am now shopping and considering all brands including Canon. Deals and selection appear to be limited now.
The techs I talked with at Epson were all pleasant but really knew little about printers. The computer generated email I received both times listed hardware failure as the culprit. It is just hard to believe the same thing could happen on three different printers. I have been unable to find any online discussion of this subject. The 960 was generally considered a very good printer.
Yes, I specify type and size of paper.
Thanks for interest.
No, paper not curled when placed in tray. When it "jams" there is a perfect crease down the middle of the paper or two creases, each 1/3 way from the paper ends.
This happens on all popular Red River and Epson letter sized glossy and matte papers.
I have posted this question on several printer specific forums with no answers. I will now post here where more members may see it.
I bought a refurbished Epson XP 960 from Epson back in November 2019 and it worked perfectly for two months when it suddenly started creasing photo paper causing the printer to jam. The paper is not shredded and is ejected by the printer by pressing the Cancel key on the printer. There is no issue with plain white paper. It prints perfectly. After conversing with Epson they sent me a new printer. Same thing again, two months later it started creasing photo paper. Epson sent me a third printer. Now exactly two months later this printer is doing the same thing. Any ideas? I have been printing since 2001 with HP and Epson printers and have never seen anything like this. Comments or suggestions appreciated.
I have used PaintShop since version 8. It can handle almost all photo editing needs and is a pretty good vector program. On the other hand, I feel it has just about the same learning curve as Photoshop. It is not a simple program that you will jump right into. My opinion is to go with PaintShop but do not expect miracles over night.
Do not agree that this is a senior moment. I have talked to people of all ages who have made this mistake. IMHO the camera should revert to a exposure value of 0 every time it is turned off.
