Epson printers are electronic theieves
He could have had a little respect though Art, he could have waited
til I went out the shop and then kicked 'holy hell' out of it, I suspect he was showing his frustration with them as well as showing me what he thought. Why would they have respect for it? I would think it's part of their contract. They get paid .5 to 1.5hrs of labor or some such to look at printers and if they are beyond repair they smash them. This way there is no chance of someone trying to pull a fast one... claiming a printer is dead and fishing it out of the trash. I'd be more shocked if they actually took the time to claim the parts if it was a case of head failure. |

Epson printers are electronic theieves
Epson seems to be forcing people to buy their inks, originally the
chip was designed to stop the ink tanks running dry and now Epson appears to have gone one step further in programming the printers CPU not to allow other brands of ink to be used, or making it difficult at the least. It ought to be printerd nice and clearly on the box that this printer will only accept Epson ink. Please note 'ACCEPT', meaning that it will accept other brands AT THE USER'S RISK. This ought to be made law...no doubt if it was Epson would lose a lot of printer sales. Davy. |

Roy G wrote: "Larry Gold" wrote in message news that is disgusting so cartridges you have ink in you cant use -- Larry Gold Arsenal For Life "Dr. Dweeb" wrote in message y.dk... Gentlemen, I have reached the conclusion that the Epson corporation is both incompetant and corrupt. Someone should sue their scrawny little asses. I have an RX500 - a high end combi-device. Today, the reading on my black ink cartridge hit zero, while the other 5 read between 23-28% I replaced the black cartridge with a 3rd party product from Gold-Ink. After installation the printer informed me that it was loading the ink. I decided to print the test page. Failure - and worse. 1: "The ink cartridge is different from Epson blah blah blah" message. This will now appear EVERY time I try to print !!!!!!!!!! IT IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE HIGH QUALITY EPSON OEM INK AND MAY BE SUBJECTING THE PRINTER TO A HEAD CLOG. 2: The device reset all 5 other cartridges to 0% 3: The device has the black cartridge now pegged at 83%, despite not yet having printed 1 character Because the other 5 cartridges now MUST be replaced I still cannot print and I am REALLY ****ed off. IT IS BETTER TO BE ****ED OFF THAN ****ED ON Check how much 6 cartridges (even of alternative branbd) ink costs - this is an expensive exercise. THAT IS CORRECT. ALL BRANDED INK IS OVERPRICED The audacity of these assholes to pull this sort of stunt amazes me. It is both amoral and illegal. THEY ARE IN BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY NOT TO HELP YOU BUY GENERICE PRINTER CLOGGING INK. There is no technical reason for what has happenned to me - it is just punishment for installing a non-Epson cartridge - something I believe is my commercial right. I mean, how much money do I have to spend on cartridges before I give up DON'T USE AN INK JET. BUY A LASER ? Is an ERROR message at EVERY print job even marginally apprpriate ? Where do I get my money back ?? Dr. Dweeb Hi there. It could be that the 3rd party Cartridge was faulty, and the printer could not read the chip. In any case, it is easy to get a hardware, or software, chip resetter, that will enable you to continue using the Col Carts. I agree that if Epson Sell you a printer, you are perfectly entitled to use it with whatever ink and paper you choose, which is what you expected when you bought it. If they have programmed it to do otherwise, they must be in breach of contract. However I would rather disagree with your claim that an RX500 is a top end machine. It uses the same print engine as the R200 which is fairly inexpensive. Roy G |
