Then explain my brother's epson 5200 that clogged right away when a
new Epson ink cart was installed. No 3rd party ink ever touched this
printer and it still clogs like crazy and was quite unuseable as
printer. The tendacy to clog Epson printer is way out of proportion
with other ink printers.

Sorry but even Epson ink does clog the printer and Epson choose
not to
get this fixed permantly on their printers.


On the other brand, I've had HP ink jet printer for 2 years with
mixed
OEM and 3rd party carts and refilled myself several times. The only
time they clogged is when the cart's been refilled more than a few
times and has wore itself out.





I HAVE USED AND STILL HAVE HP PRINTERS FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND HAVE
NEVER EXPERIENCED A PRINT CLOG. THE HP I CURRENTLY USE I PRINT
ABOUT ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS AND STILL DO NOT HAVE A CLOG. MY
CANON I USE ABOUT 4 TIMES A WEEK AND DO NOT HAVE ANY CLOGS. I USE
OEM INK IN ALL OF MY PRINTERS.




Which proves one thing - regular use is the most important thing to
avoid clogs - the ink brand is irrelevant.



It is very relevant


Only to you, Measekite, and to no one else in this newsgroup. Because
everyone else knows better, that it makes absolutely no difference what
you use, just how often you use it. And sometimes if you use it too much
the printhead can fail. So you're damned if you do and damned if you
don't. Without a doubt the printer is still, by far, the weakest link in
any computer system.

NOW I KNOW YOU ARE A HIGH SCHOOL KID AND PROBABLY NOT OLD ENOUGH TO GO
TO THE PROM. EVERYBODY WITH KNOWLEDGE KNOWS THAT THE WEAKEST LINK IN A
COMPUTER SYSTEM ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE FLOPPY DISK AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE
RARELY USED.

ACTUALLY MOST OF THE HARDWARE IS QUITE RELIABLE. MANY OF THE PROBLEMS
PEOPLE HAVE CAN BE TRACED BACK TO ANOMOLIES IN THE SOFTWARE.

Why bother to wise up Mr Measekite. I am too stupid to get it.
We all have seen my moronic responses. Who cares! Only a very weak
coward like me does these things. You know I could never be able to be
confronted in person and still spew my ignorant crap out of my fat
trap of mine, cause of I did I'm sure he'd be eating a knuckle sandwich.
What a complete loser I am.

GEE FRANK, WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE A LOSER. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP
CONFESSING IT. WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE A SINNER.

So you're implying all the clogging issue can be blamed on faulty
Epson software drivers? Then it really does not matter if OEM or
generic ink was used, it's the driver that causes the clog.

There isn't even a Floppy Drive newsgroup for problems because there
are none to talk about - they rarely if ever failed. And if after 5 or
so years one did by chance kick the bucket, you'd plop down all of $15
US and buy a new one, any brand, it didn't matter, they all worked the
same.

ACTUALLY MOST OF THE HARDWARE IS QUITE RELIABLE.


"Quite reliable", yes. But I'm saying printers are still the "least
reliable" item in any computer system. Think about it, the printer is
the only piece of equipment in your computer that needs hundreds, if not
thousands, of support technicians on hand. Any other piece of equipment
in your computer system have a staff as large waiting for you? . . .

MANY OF THE PROBLEMS PEOPLE HAVE CAN BE TRACED BACK TO ANOMOLIES IN
THE SOFTWARE.


I'd rate all of my software, and I have about 70 icons on my desktop, as
far more reliable than any fickle printer I've ever owned. And printers
will remain the weakest link until they move away from their archaic and
troublesome method of printing - squeezing fast drying ink (very clog
prone if not used often enough) through microscopically small openings.
What we need is next generation printing, totally solid state. And we
can't expect Epson, Canon, HP and Lexmark to lead the way since they
have this huge cash cow called "ink cartridges" that feed them billions.
The next generation printers will be developed by companies who are
intent on selling printers, not ink. Naturally, this will occur after
my time. But then I'm just "a kid", so who knows . . .

Total ****ing bull****. If you've ever owned more than one piece of
hardware you know for a fact that the above statement is completely
false. Hardware failure is the main cause of all electronic/computer
problems. Printer, hard drives, computers etc., it's the hardware that
eventually fails. Not the software.
Give me a ****ing break. This asshole measer****head is obviously a
computer novice.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO EXHIBIT YOUR LACK OF HIGH SCHOOL AND STUPIDITY. I AM
NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FLOPPY DISK DRIVE BUT THE FLOPPY DISK MEDIA. THEY
FAIL FREQUENTLY AND ARE SUBJECT TO ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS IF NOT HANDLED
WITH CARE. OTHER THAN YOURSELF MOST PEOPLE HAVE VALUABLE DATA AND HAVE
HAD TO USE DUPLICATES AND TRIPLICATES WHEN STORING THEIR DATA OF
FLOPPIES OR RISK LOOSING DATA. SINCE NOTHING YOU DO HAS VALUE THEN YOU
WILL NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM.

HEY JERK. HOW MANY MOTHERBOARDS, CPUS OR MEMORY STICKS HAVE YOU
REPLACED. WHY DOES MICROSOFT HAVE ABOUT 4 SERVICE PACKS AND WEEKLY BUG
RELEASES FOR THIER OPERATING SYSTEM. YOU ARE REALLY THE DUMMEST OF THE
DUMBELLS I HAVE EVER SEEN.
