[Leica] Printer problems

[Tina Manley]

I tried a refillable, cheap system that is supposed to be coded to work
with the Epson printers.  It was awful.  The status monitor never reported
the right amount of ink in the cartridges, it's a mess to fill with the
hypodermic needles that come with the system, and the cartridges leaked in
the printer.   I ruined enough paper with splotches and streaks to negate
any savings I would have had with the cheaper ink.  I won't use anything
but genuine Epson inks again.
