Epson always was a crappy company. They embraced the Kodak principle of
selling the printer at or below cost and rape you on the ink. I don't
print often enough so ink jet printers have always been a problem for me.
After a few episodes with ammonia and a toothbrush every time you want to
print something you give up. My Samsung CLP-315 solved the problem. It
says a lot that I haven't replaced the toner. Either I really don't print
much or the Samsung came with full toner cartridges rather than Epson's
usual test drive filling.

The Epson 440 inkjet I bought in 1999 or so managed about three prints
before it ran out of ink. I never bothered to buy another ink cartridge
for it.

These Espons I'm talking don't have replaceable cartridges. You just buy the
ink. They're called EccoTank printers. Basically the same system we used to
print signs and banners at the print shop where I worked, except on a much
smaller scale.
