       | This is the best advertisement for Epson I've ever seen. I know
       | Canon wasn't thinking of it that way but being on the fence
       | between the Canon and Epson photo printers this sways me strongly
       | toward Epson.

         | the warning after every print, but it will print missaligned. A
         | thing which, automagically, does not happen with Epson ink.

           | prints from Brother or HP?

       | Sticking with my trusty Brothers printers; both color ink-jet and
       | monochrome laser.
       | 
       | 13 years, same drum for Brothers laser. 7,500+ pages.
       | 
       | 6 years for Brothers color ink-jet.

       | Canon inkjet, went into the trash after 13 months.

         | non OEM toner. I want to buy a good, reliable, Linux capable,

         | Curious to how their current offerings compare to the older
         | ones.

       | I have a Canon all-in-one inkjet. I almost always buy third-party
       | cartridges off of Amazon. They seem fine, but I'm a basic user,
       | printing only what's necessary. It always surprises me when I see
       | the screen say it's an authentic Canon cartridge. How is this
       | accomplished? Cloning the chips? Reverse engineering? Taking
       | chips from recycled cartridges?
