These printers last just a few years. Repair is not possible since the repair costs exceed the price of a new printer.

I've been using an Epson D88 for about 2 years with no problems whatsoever.Last night I tried to print a small JPEG and there was a lot of extra lines of colur.
I tried printing a simple black cross and these extra bands of colour were printed along with it.I've tried printing from a laptop as well but the same thing happens so it's clearly an issue with the printer rather than the PC .Both the laptop and desktop are running XP home SP2 by the way.
I've contacted Epson customer support but will have to wait up to 2 days for a reply so any advice given here will be greatly appreciated.
I've gone through all the usual steps.Recalibrated the printer, nozzle checks etc and I've trawled through the printers helpfiles and Epson's own FAQs but kind find any mention of this particular problem.
Help!
