I hate to say this but you really need to contact your MP or whomever is responsible for your consumer legislation. In the US and Canada due to pressure and legal arguments, Epson was forced to supply the small propriety software required to reset that counter (It is held in an EEPROM within the printer). The reason for it is to protect your furniture and carpets from being damaged to ink leaking out of the waste ink pads. However, not only...

Thanks VERY much, Art, for such an informative reply! Arthur Entlich wrote: From what I have seen on line, your printer users the 3e cartridges for all 4 colors, which should be pigment colorant based. Yes, the Canon i550 uses 3e cartridges for everything. (I think some Canons use 3e for regular printing and 6e for photos.) I never even thought about whether the ink was pigment or dye (it never mattered before), and their own website...

An HP Laserjet is a laser printer! Got it!! Thank you, folks......I appreciate it. Have a nice Thanksgiving. fjLee

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Will post if it works. Gene Bob Headrick wrote: "Gene West" wrote in message ... I have a Canon ip4000 with only 1/2 of the black (3e-BK) printing in the draft and the standard modes. Very distinct bands (not streaking) alternating with a good line and a blank line. Cleaning was to no avail. What I did to be able to use the head was to go into the envelop mode which gave me extra passes,...

Thanks for the explanation and apology. I, for one, accept it. We all have days like that, and most of us have misdirected our frustrations to others.

Our other printer is a SharpAR5316 copier/printer connected via a USB cable. When we have it all connected up, the Sharp AR5316 keeps giving a constant off/on signal to the computer, and its small icon flashes on & off in the Settings/Printers and Faxes...

I am using Win xp. My deskjet 970 cse is about ten years old but still running great. I use cheap recycled cartridges which have a built-in printhead and a large tank. (HP 45) With the advent of Win 7, there is no driver for this printer, except a half-assed generic driver from Microsoft. HP does not make drivers for this printer for Win 7. One might consider this a good reason for sticking with Win Xp. But, I am seduced by the Aero eye-candy...

Art, I also understand that pigments deliver better image permanence than dyes do. And that dyes are more forgiving about print head clogging. I realize that I've written generalizations, but I'd like to hear your opinions about this since you've probably worked with a few different ink formulations on your Epson journey. Richard
