Re: [Rant] Canon MP530 All In One...
I had an Epson printer that did the same thing. It drove me nuts. They've lost a costumer for life with that stunt. |

| Same thing here with HP. After i cleared the alarm, I think i got another 4 months of printing with that "low ink" cart!
I don't replace when their "we need more money" software tells me to.

| Congratulations!
It has been known and commented on for a long time that printer manufacturers, HP in particular, have their machines "lie" to you.  I hope you have learned a very valuable lesson and in the future perhaps you will question something that is so easy to corroborate. It's quite simple. Print untill it looks crappy. Another tip is if you're printing in B/W, make sure the printer is NOT set for color. Those clever manufacturers will use the more expensive color cartridge to make black.  |
