Bill, I hope Epson Canada is as helpful as Epson Australia.

The 1200 I think is about 1999 but could be earlier, I bought it from a
church that need to go high tech so I can't be certain. I find it is a
wonderfully useful printer, although I would prefer a newer one with better
ink, but I am a poor artist, shelling out a couple of grand for a printer is
not possible, simple as that.

I have huge respect for Epson compared to other manufacturers. The proof is
in us still using machines that make the dinosaurs look like a recent
phenomenon.

BTW your Epson 870 is on the Epson Australia web site along with consumables
which means they still actively support it.
