As far as I can tell Epson printers are now not worth the low
purchase cost of them. Disposable printers.

The cost of the ink cartridges are out of site and the printer Epson
software can tell if it is not an Epson cartridge. I suspect  the
printer will disable it self if it detects a non Epson ink
cartridge.

I am not about to go out and buy a whole new set of expensive Epson
cartridges to see if it will start working again.

I would rather buy a different printer.

Not a nice thing for Epson  to do but hard to prove one way or the
other. Reminds me of VW cheating on smog by detecting when the VW was
being smog tested.

I now have a junk epson printer going in the land fill.

Guarantee repeat customers in disposable world. Want to talk
conspiracy theories? This crap is up there with the best like the
JFK assassination.

That sounds familiar, Dale.

I use Brother printer products exclusively.
The company was started in Canada and its culture still persists, I think.

The US firms should revert to primarily serving customers rather than the
shareholders. It would work if everybody would do it, but that's unlikely.

It is one and  the same thing. If you screw the customers you screw
the stock holders especially since the advent of the Internet.

Bad printer  decision and other decisions  at HP nearly bankrupted the company.

Not just in the USA. Everywhere. Epson is a Japanese company.
