Would anyone be aware of a way of countering Epson's seemingly underhanded
way of timing-out their printers?
Mine, being a domestic printer, has had limited use but has suddenly ceased
operating even though it was operating satisfactorily only a few minutes
earlier.
This is nothing new, but in this instance wriggling cables, switch the
printer off and on, or even removing and reinstalling the driver wouldn't
work . . . kinda like a 'Logan's Run' scenario.
This printer has alway been deceitful . . . I used to go through countless
cartridges till I decided to give it a 'dummy' cartridge-change run.
Whenever the 'ink-sensing' program showed the cartridge being empty, I
completed the 'changing-cartridge' program and it regarded the cartridge to
be full and was happy to continue working.
I soon realised that most times my cartridges were more than half-full when
I got the first 'out of ink' message . . . so much for Epson's
'Intelligent-Ink' sensor . . . just a lot of deceitful propaganda.
We know that now-and-then someone is jailed for embezzlement or some other
devious crime against the public, other companies or, heaven forbid, the
powers-to-be.
So why are these denizens of deceit still allowed to freely rip us off at
every opportunity.
