How do you replace an Epson c1100 developer unit, please?
I have been advised that my printer requires a new cyan developer unit. Please give me a "step by step" guide (if possible) to do this myself. Many thanks, in anticipation.

1. Open the front panel - named A
2 Inside you will see the empty cyan toner cartridge in its place.
3. To release the old cartridge and seal it, take hold of the blue part of the cartridge on the right hand side, and move it upwards as far as it will go.
4. The old cartridge will now move freely, as you move it towards you and out of the printer.
5. Package it safely as the toner is dangerous if inhaled.
6. Take the new cartridge and shake it a few times to distribute the toner evenly.
7. Remove the seal and tape, and discard.
8. Slide the new cartridge in gently and evenly.
9. When it has clicked into place, take hold again of the blue section, and roll it downwards to lock it into position.
10. Close panel A, and the printer will take a minute or two to warm up, reload the toner and prepare itself for printing.
11 NOTES : The only complications I have found are in getting the new cartridge to slide evenly into its proper location. If it is not in correctly, you cannot close panel A and it is just a question of sliding the cartridge out and retrying it.
The other issue is to avoid the instinctive reaction of turning the printer off before you start working inside it!! The printer is best left on through this process and there is no risk as you do so.
