The lawsuit and settlement terms are described in full at the class administrator's website <a href="www.epsonsettlement.com">www.epsonsettlement.com</a>. The settlement resolves lawsuits filed in California, New York and Texas based on various legal theories relating to the performance and other characteristics of Epson inkjet printer cartridges. Among other things, plaintiffs alleged that a substantial amount of ink remains in Epson inkjet cartridges when the Epson printers for which they are designed indicate that the cartridges are "empty," and suspend printer operation."</i><br /><br />If you own an Epson printer and live in the USA, here's your chance to get $45 in credit at Epson's online store. I can't help but thing that in class action lawsuits like this, the only people that really benefit are the lawyers. :roll:

thanks for posting this. just about everyone i know has had at sometime one of these disposible printers. i have an epson c64. it drives me crazy the way they prevent you from printing when the ink is deturmened to be less then optimal. i would never know it was even close to running out of ink by just the prink quality.....kinda makes you wonder......
