Planned obsolescence

I just went ahead put it out of it’s misery. And i felt good doing it.

“Oh Brother! I Canon understand how Hewlett your guard down.” “Everybody has his Epson downs.”

My Epson quit printing colors, and I thought it was a goner. I tried a kit that I found online, but it didn’t seem to help. After that, I created a sheet with the major colors on it and printed it at least a dozen times. The colors started coming back (slowly, with skipping at first), and now it prints colors just fine. I just have to remember to print colors every so often so the print heads stay cleaned out.

There’s a YouTube video of a guy fixing his fitbit in a similar fashion.

May it rest in pieces.

Smoting is fun :)

Xerox 3-15 “And GOD said, let there be toner and it was so. On the second day GOD made Letter and Legal paper and he said it was good.”
