Well I've three Epsons that qualify for this class action law suite. I
have a choice of $45USD credit per printer or $25USD check for each one.
This is for screwing us on their oem ink.
*******s!

If you think Epson are *******s think about how much the lawyers are getting
compared to you.

They can afford it - its just an extra $0.50 on each OEM ink cart.

This should be interesting. Our school has more than 60 Epson printers
bought between those times. 60 X $45 is a hefty sum. Will all of them be
acceptable to be resgistered if bought by the same school? Guess I have to
get in touch with one of the class action lawyers.
That's a hell of a lot of printers between April 1999 and May 2006
I guess since it's not going to court no new software will be developed to
make less waste of the remaining ink in each cartridge and anyone with an
Epson printer fitting those categories, which seem to entail most of their
models in the inkjet class, will continue to be wasting quite a lot of ink
unless they have a CIS or are refilling their own.
What an incredible waste of resources.

I am really surprised Epson rolled over on this one, as there are very
valid technical reasons to give an ink message before the ink actually
runs out. If the ink was allowed to run out there would be a risk of
damage to the rather expensive printheads.

What is next, threatening to sue auto manufacturers because there is
still gas left when the needle registers empty?

I suppose the question is, how much ink was still in the cartridge when
it read "empty". If there was still 25% then I'd be quite upset and can
see just cause for a class action suit. We're not talking about a $3
dollar cartridge. Usually a set will cost nearly as much as the printer.

It may be true, but it's not acceptible from customer's point of view: you
can't FORCE customer to throw away 1/4 or more of the expensive ink. They
probably would not have got into this trouble if they do not FORCE the
printer to shut down. Instead, they can just simply give a warning. Some
customer may ignore the warning and just continue to print, and cause damage
to the printer. Then it's the customer's problem.

Don't see what's the point he The engine doesn't shut down as long as you
still have gas in the tank, no matter the needle register empty or not.
Besides you are not FORCED to throw away the gas that's left.

On the other hand, they may get sued if there is no gas in the tank while
the needle registers full (or npn-empty), -.
