Well, donøt buy an Epson either. I just printed several hundred black
text pages, it now tells me my 5 colour cartridges are empty and will
print nothing.
ALL printer manufacturers are thieves and rogues - sadly there are no
good choices.
I've had no complaints over my Canon PIXMA, the cartridges don't have any
circuitry in them and the ink level is visible as the case is not totally
opaque plastic. When a cartridge runs out I replace one, and I get about
a week warning with my usage level.
My previous printer was also a Canon, and it didn't stop working - it
just got progressively harder to get ink for it. Considering it lasted
about 10 years before that happened I'd no complaints.
My plumber recently bought a laptop and dock with all the trimmings from
me. The printer/scanner/fax was a combo unit from Canon, url wraps
horribly.

He's delighted with it, and as he was already spending several thousand
euros I included a set of ink refills on the bill. He hasn't called
asking how to install them yet, so I suspect he isn't through any of the
first set yet.
