I used to have an ink jet printer. It would waste pages of ink "cleaning itself" every time I turned it on. I couldn't just print in black, it demanded that I use the color as well, even when printing black text. I couldn't buy cheap no-brand ink, it demanded that I use its in-house ink that cost five times as much. I couldn't print when even one of the ink cartridges was empty, even though I wasn't using that color. That's when I put the printer out on the curb on garbage day and swore that I would never buy another Epson product as long as I live ... and I've kept my promise.

HP's are like that.

Plus, the ink cartridge times out. If you don't print anything for several months, even though you barely used it, it will say "out of ink",
Biggest scam ever!

Yeah, I have an Epson like that. Great print quality, but absolutely refused to print...even black text... because the cyan cartridge was empty. Never bothered buying more, because fuck that shit.
Fortunately I got it for $25 when I worked for a certain shitty electronics/appliance retailer. The scanner still works, so it's still somewhat useful. But fuck ever buying ink for the bastard, or buying another Epson ever again.

Sounds like my story (same brand even). Someone had given me a few of them, same bullshit every time. "Oh, you just turned me on? I just realized it's that time of the month so wait a minute while I have some heavy ink flow into my pad, to you know clean things out.... OK, all done, I just wasted a dollar of ink!"
Got a used laser for $30 and haven't ever looked back.
