Re: [APML] OT: Canon vs Epson clogging



I have an Epson 1200 and it is now a useless piece of junk.  It was great,
but now is 100% clogged (black cartridge) and hasn't responded to repeated
head cleanings or cartridge replacement.

Prior to this, it would clog, but always responded to head cleaning before.
I did leave it without printing, but only about 1 month, so I would
encourage you to use the Epson printers regularily.
