is my printer dead?

i cannot print anything anymore... looks like the computer
cannot connect to it anymore. i tried to reinstall the os9
pilots (there is no pilots on osX), but it doesn't change
anything... it is plugged and everything, but still cannot
connect to it anymore (it used to work, though i often had
to reinstal it from Print Center)... Print Center recognizes
the printer but that's all it doesn't do anything : /

it's an epson stylus 740, i'm using an iMac 700 combo
i think the printer is... 4 years old
is it too old do you think?

anyone got an idea?

What are pilots? Are they just drivers?

ecnadniarb > but it used to work before, and it's the same
OS and all!!

there is no drivers on my cd-rom, too old, os X wasn't out
at the moment it was released

Will the printer let you change the cartridges or anything?
or is there no power to the motor at all.

the printer does turn on and make the usual noises when
turned on...

Odd then, it could just be the cable that is faulty. It
could be one of many things actually :P
