Epson C88+

It's all in the User Guide.

The buttons are (left to right)

Ink button: used when changing ink cartridges, or for starting a cleaning cycle. The "pear" is a drop of ink.

Paper button: used for ejecting paper and clearing jams

Power button: used for turning the printer on and off

Of course Cen but as I've mentioned, there's laziness...and besides we've inst bks scattered all over creation...but as a last resort....

Ah HA. So does the red light here explain why it won't print....logic prevails

I was sure the pear was somehow used in a jam...

Cen thanks once more for taking me perfectly serious in my old age...

No. 2 Son: Can't wait 'til your upcoming visit, if only you can figure out how to replace that cartridge or cartridges....and Cen again thanks a million for saving me all day at Google. Absolutely delighted to learn the damn thing hadn't failed....

Note to all you other old guys: It's positively amazing how many Cens we have



Oh, and No. 2, mebbe you can also teach me how to post a pix like Trox did there. It's been some 17 years now....
....or is it 18 now I'm 86
