We have an Epson R200. Still works like new, and doesn't shut off when out of ink. I'll get a warning, but I know it's fully out of ink when I look at my printed page, and there is obviously colors missing, or fading out.

Anyone remember the class action suit against Epson on this issue a few years back? All purchasers of Epson cartridges received $45. Lucky me. My Epson 2200 is still guzzling ink, which it is now being deposited on my prints on the following edge plus "ghosting" text near the end. So I've ruined many sheets of precious paper and used tons of ink experimenting with trying to fix the problem. I'm waiting for email support from Epson. I'd like to hear from anyone who has used the SSC Service Utility mentioned earlier.
