Epson 2100 is down

One of the printheads of our printer stopped working last night and no amount of nozzle cleaning could make it work. So we called most of the Epson recommended printer repair services in Paris and no one picked up. Tried posting on photo forums and finally got one reply that said, "It's probably too expensive to repair." Siao liao.

Been looking at a few replacements... I REALLY have to ask why is the Epson 3800 is cheaper by 70% in New York compared to Europe? Why huh?

Update 19June: Finally got the printer guy, got quoted for 170euros for new heads + workmanship. So it's either:

a) we get a new printer or
b) new heads or
c) don't get anything for the time being

Think we'll go option C for the time being, if we really cannot take it we'll get a new printer.
