Ah okay.


I have a jumper with a bit of material across the neck which I suppose looks like a tshirt underneath, but had never seen the mock shirt look.

I've just bought an expensive (to me) Epson printer.


At every f-ing opportunity it tells me to buy genuine Epson ink.


Epson - a) Bloody reduce your ink prices then. Massively.


b) The more you tell me to do this, the less likely I am to do it.


GRRRRRRR

Did a lot of research before I bought this one :))


ETA: Clearly the research did not extend so far as to find out whether every time I printed something out there would be "Buy Epson Ink" highlighted in yellow :))


Not sure it would have been enough to stop me buying the printer, however ..... very pleased with it otherwise and yes, I'm using compatible cartridges ("The printer has detected that you are not using Epson ink, blah blah". F*** off printer!!!)

You misunderstand :))


It's not when I replace cartridges. It's EVERY BLOODY TIME I PRINT ANYTHING :)) :)) :))


See screenshot attached ...... see the bright yellow strip on the right .....


And I would not have thought, before buying the printer, to have googled this kind of thing - it wasn't mentioned in any reviews :(


And NOW, possibly coincidentally and possibly not, following a Windows update, whenever I type anything eg into this forum box, or an email, all the "print" displayed is getting FAINTER AND FAINTER until I can scarcely see it ....


Another googling session looms. Meantime my kitchen currently has no floor and no ceiling and much of my house is full of dust which came up through the floorboards :))


Oh happy days :))


ETA: And yes, StraferJack, it's very sad isn't it ..... and after my Canon printer died, I bought another one off here very cheaply as an intended stopgap "in full working order" (I'm not in the least suggesting that description wasn't in good faith) and IT WOULDN'T PRINT :)) :)) :)) I think because it had been kicking around unused for ages .....


At which point I gritted my teeth, gave up on the Canon (having tried everything), and bought this one ....

Oh, OK!! Thanks!


Only thing is though, it will disable the ink level message as well, which is quite useful .....


But the good news (to me and touch wood) is that after giving it my undivided attention for half an hour and by a process of trial and error, I got my broadband working !!

Yes of course you're right - and I try to make sure I've always got at least one spare cartridge of each colour - but by the time it's obvious when you print, if you don't have a spare cartridge, you're stuffed .....

I think doing that might have been one of the things which messed up my prevfous printer.


I let cartridges run right to the end regardless of "ink out" messages :(

Happening to me as well. I thought it was my PC. Also seems to be happening on some websites, mainly BBC News. All the letters are getting pixeliy.

      High Court is a boost to Reform?

      By vladi · Posted

      Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Ms P · Posted

      I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.

      JP Plastering - John McCann - Recommended Plasterer

      By Ms P · Posted

      John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
