Epson Boycott & More on Costly Inkjet Cartridges

Found an interesting follow-up to my recent note on The High Cost of Inkjet Printing. Seems that Dutch Consumer Association Consumentenbond is advocating a boycott of Epson inkjet cartridge printers. They claim a chip in the cartridge is causing it to stop even when there is sufficient ink left in the cartridge for many more pages. Read this and related stories at The Register:
• "Epson, we have a problem"
• "EU tells HP et al to scrap inkjet 'clever chips'
• "EU probes HP over ink prices"
