I bought a new black cartridge for my printer the other day - I've been buying Office Depot brand cartridges (I have an Epson printer in part BECASUE they license generic cartridges). Anyway, I popped the new cartridge in, printed my lecture notes for Thursday's class, and turned off the printer. La-dee-da.
Today, I started up the printer with the intention of printing out some dissertation-related reading notes. It's telling me there's an error with the cartridge. Nothing I do fixes this - I've checked the thing over, reseated it several times, etc. Nada. This isn't the first time I've had this problem with the Office Depot cartridges, either - it happened once before with a color cartridge, only that one NEVER worked.
OK, WTF? NOW there's no error light and it's working fine. It hates me, it does.
That's it. From now on I'm buying my in from the Laser Monks.
