[QUOTE="websnail, post: 217788, member: 15726"] I'm not saying it's okay at all. Far from it... I've spent the last decade plus working on ways to counteract the "[I]Oh, it's broken, buy another one[/I]" mantra that Epson first line support continues to trot out even today and with the Printer Potty product line I've done a reasonable, albeit limited, job of achieving that while trying to keep a roof over my head and my family... There are indeed millions of printers out there that would benefit from solutions like this and I wish Epson would quit playing silly beggars and just make them available but predictably they're trying to fit a solution around their economical model... but at least they are trying. - HP's approach appears to be mostly centred around a waste pad that eventually backs-up and fouls the printhead so it fails - Canon wastes less ink so the printers last longer but they still hit the same issue... and instead of making it easier to resolve they've gone out of their way to make it harder to reset the printers waste counter. Newer models now require a specific service tool that is next to impossible to get and if you get it you get just one chance to reset the waste counter. Foul it up and a service centre is required to resolve it. - Brother printers waste almost no ink but have lower quality... they're also much easier to reset the waste ink counter (or they were). I'd be happy to discuss this with you at length as I've hard waay too long to think about this over the last 15 years. But I strongly suspect we agree on the basics. I'm certainly not excusing the behaviour of OEM's when it comes to this specific issue. [/QUOTE]
