So if anyone has experience of getting a printer repaired, I'd be grateful for advice, or should I just dump it (including 2 brand new ink cartridges  ) and buy something else?

What sort of printing do you do?
the HP HP Color laserjet 2840 colour laser printer/copier/fax (proper job, not a fall-apart plastic one) that I've read good reviews of, at about £630, might be fun.
Alternatively I've had for three years a Epson 1290 colour inkjet with a continuous ink feed system from Lyson (you buy the ink by the litre rather than piddly little cartridges). I can certainly recommend the ink system if you do a lot of printing, but it's available for a whole range of printers.
http://www.lyson.com/cis.html. The paper feed on the printer is a bit creaky, but once it gets going, it's ok.
I've had printers repaired in the distant past when a new b/w laser printer cost £1500+, but I'd be more inclined to look at a new one.
