The best thing to do when considering the purchase of any major piece of equipment is to go to sites that provide for 'user comments' on what it is you want to buy. They are a wealth of information.
I just went looking for the HP 1320 reviews since I thought that was the printer that the '80% left' comment pertained to. I didn't find any reference to that but I did find a wealth of negative comments on the 1320 that mainly dealt with a terrible manual feed, and noise. Many people didn't like the printer, some taking it back to where they bought it... but I use this only as an example of what you may find.
Bruce, can you point me to a couple of URLs of such sites? Thx
I believe my Epson Stylus C84 has this metering system enabled. However, it is a software thing and as such is only enabled in Windows :-) However, it is also toggleable (si there such a word?) I can turn it off and do so. It just means I have now way of knowing until the paper comes out blank that I have run out of ink. I can live with it :-) I use cloned ink cartridges by the way and am more than happy with them. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
