+virtorio MVC Posted July 26, 2011 MVC Share Posted July 26, 2011 I once destroyed an HP Photosmart when it told me the almost full cartridges had expired. I went and brought the cheapest Cannon printer that was < 1/2 the price of the replacement cartridges, and it still works fine two years on.

Denis W. Veteran Posted July 27, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2011 For my printer, I only replace cartridges when I start seeing empty streaks across pages. The printer does complain about empty cartridges on its LCD display but you can still dismiss the warning and print as you would. A bit mental that some of you are talking of printers/AIOs refusing to operate on low/empty/non-existent cartridges :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashman Veteran Posted July 27, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'm considered the tech guy at my area of work, but I REFUSE to touch printers. They really are the work of the devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted July 27, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2011 Printers are the #1 forgotten about device when setting up a computer and they are the #1 headache when troubleshooting. Have 3 mfp's...one of the mfp's decides one day to stop printing the company logo, everything else prints just fine...just the company logo from 1 document. Would you believe the nic was bad? Yeah neither could I...everything else prints fine, logos print fine on other documents, 1 document logo doesn't print, switch nic between printers and the issue follows the nic. Really wtf.

Hollow.Droid Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I agreed with everything in the OP until I got my new HP photosmart, I think manufactures are actually starting to realise the problems us normal people have with printers :p It's actually a little creepy how much it sets up on its own and changing the ink takes around 10 seconds. Compare this to my old Epson which very nearly took a few of my fingers during cartridge changing :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
