No, I did read what you wrote. The Epson printer is designed to do that for good reason. It estimates the remaining ink and knowing that estimates are not precise it stops well short of the danger point. >Many of these companies have admitted, they put a timer type of chip >on the cartridges to count number of copies made, and default it to >report empty at the number of copies made. (not empty carridge) This >is bad business. That is HP, not Epson. HP also enforces region codes so you can't buy low-cost carts from another part of the world. What HP does is bad, what Epson is doing is necessary to not ruin the printer. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
