My Epson SX525WD is too old to have AirPrint so my iPhone cannot find it as
a printer. My need to print from the iPhone is sufficiently small that it
does not figure in the occasional thoughts about replacing the printer. My
need to print at all is sufficiently small that the printer needs its heads
cleaned every time I want to print.
