My Epson C65 printer had stopped printing Yellow.
Yellow sort of faded away. I did the occasional Print Head Clean, but it didn't get better. I didn't do too many head cleans, since they use about $1.30 worth of ink each time. Yellow is not that important a colour since it is so close to the colour of the white background colour.
When I pressed the little piston on the bottom of the Yellow ink cartridge, some ink would come out, and it might print some stripy Yellow for a bit ...
Epson printers have a 1 year Back to Base Warranty.
Phoned Epson's contact centre on 1300 361 054.
They directed me to Business Works at 782 Burke Road, Camberwell, Tel: (03) 9813 1121.
On the telephone, they estimated a 3-day turnaround, but when I dropped the printer off, the paperwork said 4 days.
> What is the maximum number of characters that an email address can have?
Theoretically speaking, e-mail addresses can be very long.
From ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2821.txt
The standard mailbox naming convention is defined to be
"local-part@domain" ...
local-part
The maximum total length of a user name or other local-part is 64
characters.
domain
The maximum total length of a domain name or number is 255
characters.
path
The maximum total length of a reverse-path or forward-path is 256
characters (including the punctuation and element separators).
So, the limit on the total length of an e-mail address is 256 characters, and the local-part before the "@" is limited to 64 characters.
In the Monash Name Router, the limits are
First Middle Last Group Mailbox
16 16 30 30 80
So a name-based e-mail address of up to
{16}.{16}.{30}@{30}.monash.edu.au
can be mapped to a
80-char mailbox name
In the future, MDS -based e-mail routing may provide longer limits.
