Printer Problems

Recently, my printer has been causing me countless late nights. I dunno why, but my printer has always been stopping in the middle of printing and it just goes haywire, keep taking in more paper and printing crap on it. The printer is also quite slow, taking about 2 minutes to print a page of word document. My dad says that it is because of too much stuff in the computer, but I doubt so. My printer model is Epson Stylus photo 710 and I think it’s about 5 to 6 years ‘old’. Think it’s time to change a new faster and better printer soon.
