I'd hazard a guess that this is a feature of the Epson inkjet printers which have a separate ink cartridge and print head. IIRC[1], most inkjet printers of that era had a combined print head/cartridge and so when the ink ran out you also replaced the print head. The Epson inkjet I had only had a replaceable ink cartridge. This 'internal timer' was probably the estimated lifetime of the print head. Footnotes: [1] And I haven't touched an inkjet printer in *years*. -- Right now, there are scr1pt k1dd13s plotting to DDoS my network, my co-lo server is not responding to pings and the people that I IRC with may be involved in both. I'm sysadmin Graeme Mathieson and this is the longest day of my life. http://www.wossname.org.uk/ _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
