It seems that the problem with expensive ink and paper jamming are not the only troubles that owners of Epson printers may face. According to network sources, some manufacturer's devices are programmed to stop working at a certain stage of use and display a message stating that the service life has been exhausted.

A user recently tweeted that his “very expensive Epson printer” suddenly showed an expiration date and stopped working. At the same time, the device did not report what exactly caused the cessation of work, but simply recommended contacting the service. It turned out that the matter was in the gaskets, which are designed to collect and hold excess ink in inkjet printers. Over time, they wear out and there is a risk of damage to the paper or even the printer itself due to spilled ink. However, the cessation of work with the actual wear of the gaskets is not connected, but simply occurs after a certain fixed number of printed sheets.

The issue is reportedly affecting Epson L130, L220, L310, L360, and L365 printers, but it is possible that it affects some other models. It is noteworthy that the first reports of a problem with ink pads appeared about five years ago, and since then a lot of videos have appeared on the Internet, the authors of which show how to replace a worn-out element on their own and reset the blocking of further work.

Same old shit with new turn.

If you don't know I made extremely popular thing for Epson printers to reset waste counter and more :-)
