[Still Thinking]

I had an Epson like that. Wouldn’t print in black if one of the infinitesimal color cartridges was empty, wouldn’t scan, wouldn’t send faxes, I think it would actually receive faxes. As if that weren’t bad enough, once a day or so the printer would spit out a little ink from all the cartridges to “clean them” and “keep them from getting clogged”.

I straight out told Epson on the phone that they were useless oxygen thieves and criminal thugs committing fraud on their victims, er, customers, that they belonged in prison, and they had sold me their last “product”.

All-in-ones blow and Epson blows the mostest.

Had 3 epson’s and 1 hp that did the same. Now have a EPSON Tank printer ET-3750. Can see the ink levels up front. Fill as needed, an no chip to replace. Just reset the program level. The tanks are marked to how much ink is left. Easy to refill just the tank that is low. Can also top off the others if desired. A great improvement on the ink problem.
