To quate from Kennedy's 8/14 post:
--------------------------------------------------
"Yes, its an Epson nasty that - an intended non-user serviceable part
which times out. The printer counts the number of cleaning cycles and
on/off cycles and, when a preset number has been reached, it just locks
the printer up and it "must" be returned to Epson or a service centre
for "repair". Since this is undeclared in either the user manual or at
the point of sale it would appear to fall foul of numerous trading
regulations worldwide, but I don't know of anyone who has instigated
proceedings against them yet, but its only a matter of time as it was
with chipped cartridges.
In the meantime, a free Russian program is available which will defeat
the cartridge chip and the waste ink dump software locks on most Epson
printers. You can get it from http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml
Unfortunately the 2000P seems to be one of the printers it doesn't
directly support, but it does operate with the 2100 and 1270/80/90 and
some of those may function with your printer. "

Does it work with the C82?
