Thait is frustrating – it might be worth buying an extended warranty.

no. that sucks hey! stuff isn’t made to last anymore.

i find that most electronics have a short life now days. i work in the IT industry and nothing is made to last like it used to be.
our coffee machine dies almost the same time every year – unfortunately we bought extended warranty so get it replaced with the same make and model. :l

If it is the same brand that you purchased last time , perhaps change brands and see if it is any better. I think it depends on the quality , make , additional functions and whether it is high tech digital or manual. Our printer has lasted over two years so far and has jammed a couple of times which my son fixed and it is still working well. It is a Canon brand . Maybe ring up the manufacturer and tell them of your concern and see what they say about it . It does seem a short amount of time and I’ve had bad luck with my gadgets where it breaks down once warranty expires. Hope you find a solution to it .

i would try resetting it as they cost heaps to replace. With ours we have to do a something clean every month or so, when its not prrinting properly. By going into the printers menu.( mine has a little lcd screen on his to do it) And when it stuffs up we reset its connections. By deleating the connection in our computers than re setting it through wifi. I also make sure i do all the updates they send to me to keep the connection going. at its best. Hope this helps…. If not try getting one with the little lcd screen that has a menu on it.

I agree – irons tend to give up after a while.

Fortunately I haven’t had this problem. I hope your next printer lasts a lot longer.

Our printer has lasted years – other appliances – well!

That’s terrible. It happened to me with the iron. While my HP All-in-One Printer is still functioning very good after 8 years.
