Ärende: Epson NX430=1 Ed=0
==========================
EV>When I buy something and the Receipt is printed on Thermal paper I put
EV>it on my Epson NX430 AIO and make a Copy of the receipt on PAPER in
EV>case I have reasons to return the item to the store and the Bar Code on
EV>the receipt is faded out, the Copy on regular paper can be scanned.

EV>I've only had a thermal paper receipt fade on me one time that I had to
EV>use my copy to show the store so they could give me my refund.

EV>I was wanting to do that today even though two of the Color Cartridges
EV>needed to be changed, by Scanning the Receipt and printing it from
EV>Irfanview, because I had learned that this AIO prints using all 4 Inks
EV>when I use it to make a Copy of something, and I was only wanting to do
EV>a B&W job today, and choose Black/Greyscale in printer Options for the
EV>task at hand.

EV>I scanned the receipt in Greyscale with the Epson Scan program because
EV>I learned the B&W Option normally doesn't make good looking Scans.

EV>Then Opened the file with Irfanview.

EV>I Selected Print and changed the Option for Black/Greyscale printing.

EV>I use Print Preview and when I clicked the Print button I saw the Epson
EV>Printer window appear with a message about I couldn't print anything in
EV>Color but was allowed to print with Black Ink.

EV>But "IT" Didn't print my job and the only message in the window was
EV>that I needed to change the 2 Color Ink Cartridges.
EV>There wasn't anything saying I couldn't print in Greyscale because
EV>of somesuch thing.

EV>After messing around looking at the Print Queue and other Printer
EV>things I clicked on the button for Epson Help (over the Internet, of
EV>course, because Epson didn't include a Online Manual with the NX430 as
EV>they did with the CX3800 AIO.

EV>After reading a page or two I clicked on the FAQ and typed the word
EV>"Black" in the Search Area.

EV>Among the Results a FAQ I clicked on says my AIO will use a bit of each
EV>Color even when the job needs only Black Ink.

EV>Their explanation is that it keeps the Ink in the Color Cartridges from
EV>Drying Out (my words) by the AIO always using a little Ink from each
EV>Cartridge for Black Jobs,iirc.

EV>So I put the two new Color Ink Cartridges "IT" Needed and got the job
EV>done.

EV>Epson NX430=1    Ed=0   This time.    BAH!!!!!!!!!!

That is typical of the better color ink printers.
I am stuck in "IF it Works do not fix it " mode and stil use Monochrome
Laser printers. My old, most favored, HP 6P finally died on me and I
replaced it with an HP P1606dn
