This couldn't possibly have happened last year

I think I've killed my printer. It had the craziest paperjam i've ever seen, it actually SCREAMED at one point, and now it's clearly not printing out of a few inkjet nozzles and head cleaning is doing nothing for it.

I opened it up and changed the cartridges and twiddled with it, which did nothing other than give me the Black Finger of Death. *pokes*

You know, it has lasted me four and half years, which isn't a bad run for a low-end Epson, but i don't have $45 to replace it at this moment really.

Anybody have anything to say about owning a HP Deskjet 3745? or a Lexmark z600?

Don't buy HP! Seriously, they used to be quite good, but now they're trash and only last two years if you're lucky. The cartridges are horribly overpriced and are made to quit working after a certain number of months even if they still have ink in them.

I don't think Lexmark is too evil, but the old ones weren't all that good. My second hand one quit printing in black and white because the electronics burned out. Everything was sepia. :)
