+Nelson Cruz they have it for a decade or so. Only now I'm fed up with it above all tolerable levels. I have a printer, and unfortunately I need to have one. My current printer now prints a couple of pages and then tells me the ink cartridge isn't original. It is. The printer maker's support tells me to just throw that cartridge away and buy another. I do it, it prints a couple of pages and then refuses to work again, "cartridge is not original". This is obviously a defect on the DRM module, but the printer no longer has warranty. The solution is to throw this one away, buy a new one. And just risk to go thorough the whole process again since, afaict, there's not a single printer maker that doesn't use DRM on their printers. Epson, Canon, Lexmark, HP, Brother, whatever, they're all the same.
Seriously: sell me a DRM-free printer, I'll buy it.
Haaa.... cartridge DRM. Forgot about that. I haven't had any trouble with it so far. But I haven't tried putting any "non original" ones on my current HP.
you can modify a inkjet printer so that it will run from ink bottles instead of cartridges. Is that DRM circumvention or a personal modification or construction using a proprietary product as source material?
I saw a youtube video of how to do that. The guy had ink bottles with tubes feeding into the cartridges. Really cool. Wouldn't solve Marcos' immediate problem though.
