PRINTER RESET COUNTER

Hi all
Epson printers have a print counter which stops it working when a set amount of prints have been done.
Is it only Epson that does this, or is it all printers from all makers.

Most printers have something like this. Some even prevent counters resetting if you use third-party inks or try to refill cartridges.

There are various hacks - often a mix of software, firmware and hardware.

It's really because the printers are very cheap and they make all their money through ink/toner/etc.

My Canon Pixma iP4500 works fine with my £5.55 set of five chipped ink cartridges.

I can't speak for the newer models but it does seem mean of Epson! I hope you've old them off. Pentax Ricoh should do printers don't you think?

You can reset the counters so this is not a problem on Epson if you know how to overcome it. Do a search on google.

Thanks David
Will do.
Am i the only person to think search engines like GOOGLE are the 21s century version of snake oil/hair restorer, or am a just rubbish a using them (REVIEW OF A PRODUCT) gets you 33 million hits, a bet there has never been that meny reviews of every thing reviewed in the whole of the world since reviews began.
Going for a nap, head hurts.
