Until recently I loved my Epson Eco Tank. I discovered that the Epson printers all have an internal page counter that bricks the printer once it reaches a limit, requiring service by Epson. There's a "waste ink pad" that is supposed to be replaced, which is simple. But the manufacturer is required to input a special code to reset the printer once the pad is replaced. It's a forced obsolescence scam, essentially. There are some ways around it - questionable software by third parties that charge around 10 bucks for a code to reset the printer. I haven't decided what to do yet but I damn well am not paying anyone to unbrick my otherwise completely functional printer. |
