Citing #Danger of “Ink Spills” #Epson Programs End of Life for Some Printers

source: https://fighttorepair.substack.com/p/citing-danger-of-ink-spills-epson

As it turns out, your printer #manufacturer, Epson, has hard coded an “end of life” into the software that runs the inkjet printer you bought. Note: this pre-determined end of life was not a feature of the device explained to you when you purchased the printer, but it’s there all the same. It doesn’t matter that your #printer was working. Epson corporate has determined that your printer and its constituent parts are simply too old. They’re at the end of their service life (even though the printer appears to be working fine) and the device needs to be replaced or (reluctantly) serviced… by an Epson authorized #service professional, of course.
