UV Printer? 3D Printer? HeyGears says “Why Not Both”?

#Inkjet #cartridges suck and should be banned! Finally got some more paper for my #printer today but then the #cyan cartridge runs out of #ink, so I put in a new cartridge and guess what? The new one doesn’t work at all despite the printer saying the cartridge is full of ink. Like, I tried everything to fix it including reinserting the cartridge, doing the #nozzle check, cleaning the heads, performing a head realignment, restarting the printer, updating the #firmware, printing a cyan purge test page, none of that worked. The last two options I can think of are
1. Try using an official #Epson cartridge, since we’ve been using aftermarket cartridges for a while since the official ones are way #overpriced, but the aftermarket ones have been working fine up until now and if it doesn’t work, then that’s money on an #expensive Epson cartridge wasted.
Or
2. Just get rid of this #capitalist cartridge printer and buy a #tank one, because I’m done with printer companies locking us into #proprietary cartridges. I wanna be able to use whatever ink we buy without having crappy #DRM. Plus this printer is now 10 years old anyways, it’s lasted surprisingly long and has outlasted very other printer we had, but this problem as well as the constant need to realign the heads to stop lines from going through the ink are signs it’s time to upgrade to a tank printer.I hope one day the governments of the world ban inkjet cartridges, because they are horrible for the #environment and are just here to keep prices up.
Pics attached of the #nozzles in case anyone can see what’s gone wrong, but I highly doubt there is anything that can be seen.

Very good!
I have to point out that, technically, "shits in a box" could also go in that intersection area.

this unlike the Canon Pixma 3250 inkjet printer I've been using until now, which was the crappiest piece of shit hardware I have ever owned!

Thanks everyone for the answers and tips.
Looks like the Brother MFC-J5340DWE EcoPro could be fulfilling his requirements:
- copy on the device, without a PC attached
- zoom when copying
- scan to USB or scan to network
- price range
- LAN or USBCan anyone confirm this one is working on Linux?

An update to my previous post
https://mas.to/@Judeau/115305731549315202The replacement gear came in & It works like a charm!
Unfortunately, while it goes through the motions, nothing actually prints on the paper. Previously the head had a lot of dried ink on it. I suspect there's dried ink inside somewhere.
Is there a good way to go about cleaning the printhead? Could I soak it in hot water or some cleaning solution?

Update: turns out that there's one of those pesky non-commercial clauses on this project that, unfortunately, turns this whole project into #openwashing (unless the clause is time-limited or there's a stretch goal to make it properly #copyleft ). #Inkjet

The surprising part is that an open-source inkjet printer took so much longer to release than an open-source full 3D printer. I wonder if it was because of patents. crowdsupply.com/open-tools/ope… #Inkjet #OpenSourceHardware

Not sure if it's a win for open source... or a loss by promoting more paper and resource waste. Looks neat though.

🧵 3/3
After trouble shooting various things with no success I decided to open up the printer. Guess what? Cracked drive gear! 😂Mine is not split all the way through which is the paper rollers were still functioning but eventually the drive motor catches on the split in the gear and hangs up.
Now to order a new gear and get this thing up and running!

🧵 2/3
After verifying the ink cartridges were good I gave everything a good cleaning. I then turned on the printer and hoped for the best. The printer went through it’s start up cycle. It pulled a sheet of paper through. The rollers griped and turned well. The print head cycled from one side to the other and then suddenly stopped and an awful vibrating sound emitted from the printer. -
🧵 1/3
For an upcoming project I picked up an old Canon iP90 inkjet printer.Both the iP90 and iP90V are notorious for having a cracking drive gear. Supposedly it would grip and feed paper through the printer, which to me, would indicate that the drive gear was good. But the seller was not able to do any testing and sold it as-is.
So I took a gamble because it was a great price and came with some extras.

I just purchased a 19 year old #inkjet #printer for a project.
It has a black and a color ink cartridge already installed and came with some new ones that are still sealed.
I don't like waste. Is there any harm in trying the ones that are already installed or could that cause major issues?
If so then I will just pitch them and hope the sealed ones are still good.

"Although qualified as a doctor, [Rune Elmqvist] chose to invent medical equipment instead. In 1949, while working at Elema-Schonander (later Siemens-Elema), in Stockholm, he applied for a patent for the Mingograph, the first inkjet printer.

Looking for assistance with an Epson printer dilemma. Please see the alt text for a detailed description.
Printer is an Epson SureColor P400. The issue seems to be this rogue wire sticking out and I'm hoping there is a solution (other than a new printer).
