vaguely proposed a theory
.......and in reply I say!:

Well, just to balance, I _do_ have a clogged Epson. The trouble is not
so _much_ the clogging, but the fact that I may have to service (or
trash, knowing printer and servicing costs) the printer because of it!
What also annoys me os that the cartridges seem more _expensive_ per
mil of ink than some others'!

6 years now with (3) Epson printers---no clogging issues. Print once
every 2 weeks or so and trun off when not using.

These printers are 6 years old...says it all. The newer printers are
not the same beasts.


We have a Canon S600 (4 color) for casual use---on all the time.
Never causes ANY trouble

Has _anyone_ had trouble with Canons?

I was frightened by the idea of a conspiracy that was
causing it all.
But then I was terrified that maybe there was no plan,
really. Is this unpleasant mess all a mistake?
