“After just 3 years of ordinary use, my Epson XP-7100.sent me a message that the ink pad was at the end of its usable life span. When I checked the E web site, it said I most likely would have to buy a new machine. Isn’t 3 years a very short lifespan?”

Epson programmed this printer to SHUT DOWN AFTER PRINTING 5000 PAGES. I agree that is it a very very shot lifespan and Epson PURPOSELY DID THIS SO THAT CONSUMERS MUST BUY NEW PRINTER! EPSON SHOULD BE ARREST TO THEFT!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I was told by EPSON that it in fact shuts down and is not usable after printing 5000 pages and that I would have to purchase a new printer!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Wow! Epson is still doing that. I have an older Epson and was able to find a driver to download and install to reset my printer. I did it 4 x! But the head and pad are getting so worn that I can't print photos anymore and all pages have some track marks on it. It's worth seeing if you can reset them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Count yourself lucky. I didn't even make it two years before getting this message. I wish I had known that printing out small samples of stuff was counting against my printer's life. How ridiculous is that?! I loved this printer but almost $300 is a lot to pay for a printer to not last two years. So disappointed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had the same problem right in the middle of a major print job. Not happy with the shut down or the short life of the printer. I felt for the money, it was too short lived. Too bad too because it was a nice printer but I'd think twice about buying another one.
