My printer wouldn't feed the paper through when I was trying to print. While checking the paper feed area, I found a 2 inch spring lying towards the right side. Can anyone tell me where this spring belongs. I believe once I reattach this spring I could fix my problems. This is an expensive printer, and I really like it, but Epson products just don't seem to last very long. When I called them, they gave me a website to buy another printer cheap or told me to bring it in to have it repaired. They said it should be easily repaired, but wouldn't tell me how to do so. Being disabled, it surely would be helpful if someone would or could tell me where this spring belongs. I would be forever grateful!!! Thanks
