Epson cleaned up its story on why it is using software to brick perfectly functional inkjet printers. We take a look at what changed (some words) and what hasn’t (the company’s business model.)
Jack, I was *internally screaming* as I read this post - you're spot on. I JUST went through the same thing with my one year old HP printer. Stopped working out of nowhere, went through every HP help forum and YouTube video I could find to troubleshoot the issue. The error code had something to do with non-compliant print cartridges. The print cartridges were OEM straight from HP. So what did I do? I replaced it with a Canon two weeks ago because I refuse to replace it with the same brand that betrayed me. The HP is sitting in my garage waiting to be recycled. A 'perfectly good' printer, money wasted for one year of use. TBD on if the Canon will give me the same issue.
