My stupid printer will not print unless all the colors of ink are in there with fresh working cartridges. Even if you've set it to only use Black. It won't print if you've run out of cyan and only need black.
On the plus side it did print one page before informing me the cyan has run out.

Now I need to go find T0712, T0713, T0714 inks quite quickly.
Argh.

The difference between Courier and Courier Final Draft is the difference between 63 and 58 pages. It's not massive, but it is significant, especially cumulatively.

You might want to check your printer type online; there are often ways to get around this. I had a Brother printer with this problem. The solution was to get out the empty cartridge and stick a bit of tape over one part of it. This was where the sensor hit it to detect whether the cartridge was empty or full; with the tape it thought it had plenty of ink and worked fine :-).

Random help from random stranger; sorry, I'm just coasting friends' friends lists :-).

this is a good plan, but all I could find was info that says Epson cartridges have a chip that will tell you the ink is gone after a certain amount of time/use no matter how much actual wet stuff is still in there... which isn't really helpful.
also found a bunch of very low reviews. Wonder why... :eyeroll:
