Due to the fact that no error messages appear and the print job reaches the printer, I believe that the formatter board is faulty. If this is the case ( and it is 90% of the time ) the most economical thing to do is purchase another printer.
Col Johnson, Thank you so much for your time to provide your opinion and recommendation. Do you know the part number of the "formatter board" you mentioned? There is someone on ebay selling their unit for parts and if that he will sell that board for cheap enough, it would be worth it to try and fix this wonderful printer. Thanks again!
Sorry but I dont know the part number but the board in question is the one that the USB Cable plugs into. Before purchasing the other printer on Ebay I would establish what was wrong with it first. You dont want to buy the same problem.

Hi it's Gill again. I've been looking around more on the net and I think the problem is our printers need new printheads which I'm told are spare parts easy to change. Hope this helps. Gill

your print head needs to be replaced too

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.
