Best printer that can use OEM ink?
My beloved EPSON Color Stylus won't print yellow any more. It has served me well in the past 10 years. It is time for me to buy a new color printer. My only requirement is that I can refill with OEM ink. I know that many new printers use computer chip to prevent people from doing that. Any suggestion?

I think you mean NON-OEM! OEM is Original Equipment Manufacturer.In other words if you have an Epson printer,you use Epson brand cartridges.

A bit of confusion - OEM inks are original manufacturer - Epson in your case. Before you give up on your printer send an email to Arthur Entlich at artistic@telus.net and ask him to send you his instructions on cleaning Epson print heads. If you want to spend a few hours and try to fix it you may be able to bring it back to life. I had a similar problem with my Epson printer and Arthur's instructions, and a bit of work restored it to excellent condition. I don't know the sources, but there are good aftermarket ink cartridges for Epson printers. Be sure to inquired on this NG about which ones people have had success with as there are also junk inks out there as well. I use a Canon i960 printer with aftermarket inks with which I refill cartridges and the prints are just as good as with OEM inks.

If you want to refill, Canon is the way to go. It's WAY simple and no resetting required. The PIXMA printers are all outstanding values for features and operating costs. I refill my Canon tanks for less than $1 each.

I did make an effort to refill epson carts for my Epson Stylus 900, but it was more difficult than the Canon carts to refill, even with no chip in the cart, and the colors just didn't come out well. Might have been my poor technique. Refilling the carts for my canon i960 is easy, quick, and almost no mess at all. Dan's right - for refilling Canon is the way to go.

Hi Ar, I assume you mean non-OEM or 3rd party inks. OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer" which would be Epson in this case. Unfortunately, in the Epson line up, there aren't any printers made today that do not use a chipped cartridge. If you want to keep with Epson, and want to use 3rd party inks, you will need to either buy the cartridges prefilled, get them refilled by someone, or buy a chip resetter to refill them yourself. The newer individual color Epson cartridges are more involved to refill than the old several color types. There are several websites that discuss this. Chip resetters can be purchased for s few bucks on eBay these days. In other brands, the easiest to refill is Canon. In fact, 3rd party inks may provide more longevity against fading than Canon's own inks at this time. Don't expect the Canon heads to last anything like 10 years without replacement. Although Canon is suggesting the heads are longer lasting than other thermal type (and probably are considerably so) they won't have the lifespan of a piezo head as used in Epson printers. Lastly, your Color STylus, although long in the tooth, and slow, may still be repairable. Please email me using the address in the header and request the Epson Cleaning Manual. I will email you a copy for free, and it may allow you to revive the yellow head. The original Epson Stylus Color was a well built and rugged machine, and may give you more years of service if the head can ge dealt with.

Who Cares. Would you want to use an inkjet printer that was designed, engineered and built in 1995 today. Of course not. So why do you think you would want to use an inkjet purchased today in 2015. Going even further, there are computers today that only have USB ports so printers that old cannot even be connected unless you get a special card. > Although Canon is suggesting the heads are longer lasting than other > thermal type (and probably are considerably so) they won't have the > lifespan of a piezo head as used in Epson printers.

Menacetyke - Please pay attention and try to remember what you read - Ar probably has a head clog and Art Entlich, on request, freely distributes a guide to clearing Epson head clogs with pennies worth of household materials and in the privacy of your own home. If Ar likes his printer and an hour of his time might restore it to near-new function I don't understand why you waste the time to criticize either Art or Ar. I don't know Art Entlich, but I did restore an Epson Stylus 900 printer, a real work horse of a printer, with his head clog information. Why continually diss the guy when he is extremely knowledgeable and spends lots of time helping people on this NG.

Best Ink Printer for Photos
I have purchased two different Epson printers (most recent a R340). Both of them produced excellent results until they experienced nozzle plugging/failure in about 18/months. I have a color laser and a monochrome laser that I use for the majority of my printing so the ink jet is only used for photo printing. The R340 cyan nozzle plugged/failed today so I will have to purchase another printer. Before I do that, I am seeking advice from the group as to their experience with printers. I want one that will last more then Epson's limited life span. Thanks, Dennis "Denni...

Best Printer for Occasional Use
Are there some models of printers that can clean the printheads better than others? I have a Canon i350 and have used up almost all of my ink in the process of cleaning the printheads and with wasted printouts from clogged heads. I print about once a week and the air is dry in the winter. Is any inkjet better, or is it just the nature of them? Are higher DPI printers more prone to clogging? Do any of them have the option to just clean the black printhead? TIA!

Printers: current "best" inkjet printer for FreeBSD?
As my current printer (an old Lexmark Z32) is starting to get old (it is ok, it has served my needs well for over five years now), I'm slowly and carefully looking for a new inkjet printer. Of course I wonder what is currently the "best" inkjet printer for FreeBSD. For my definition of "best" see below. "Best" (in this relation) means: - it must be cheap (not necessarily the cheapest) - ink cartridges must be (reatively) cheap - it must be possible to connect it directly to a FreeBSD machine and use a driver that works under FreeBSD (ghostscri...

Canon printer, can I reduce the amount of black ink being used?
I couldn't find the paper I used to buy for making flyers and brochures. So, I got another paper that is very nice, but isn't quite as compatible with my printer. It is a glossy flyer type paper. It prints fine except for black, which pools since it isn't being absorbed well enough. I managed to solve the problem with photos by reducing the opacity of the photo to 75%. Then it prints fine. What I need to figure out is how to adjust text in a word processor file. I managed to fix today's problem by changing the black text to dark blue. That comes out fine. But I w...
How can I reset the ink cartridge/ink level so the printer............
Hello, I own a HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer-Scanner-Copier which uses HP94 & HP95. I'm using generic brand cartridges and knew how to reset the cartridges, but I can't find the web sight that had pictures. In short, after the process, the printer's ink level checker will show full.

Can a USB port used by a printer be used for a scanner?
I've tried installing a scanner by connecting it to a USB port normally used for a printer. Can I do this? Like, when I want to use the printer or scanner i just connect then to the same port when needed? I would have thought so, but for some reason I can't see the scanner after installing the software In principle, yes, you can do that. However, some devices will only work with root ports (motherboard ports) and won't work on a hub port. And a particular product's drivers might behave in an unconventional way that, for that device, prohibited a mode of operation t...

Can a printer+airport be a "network" printer?
Situation: We have an Airport Extreme, and plugged into it is an HP LaserJet 1300 printer. When we first got it, we had two Mac Powerbooks, and I set up the printer from PB1. With only a bit of twiddling, we got PB2 to use it. So far, so good. But then, one day, it refused to work from PB2. Huh? With a bit more experimenting, we discovered that when we opened the lid of PB1, PB2 could use the printer. When we closed PB1's lid, PB2 lost contact with the printer. Recently, I upgraded a nearby linux box to the latest rev (of knoppix, FWIW). When I started up the CUPS stuff, it discover...
