It's been a while.

It has been a while since I have updated this blog.

I have fixed a lot of different computer problems since that time and it is difficult to remember them all.

One of them is of particular interest.

I have always suspected that the program that comes with the driver for my Epson printer would tell me that I need to replace the ink cartridges much earlier than it should.

Only recently did I find something that would prove me right.

There is this nice little program I came across called, "SSC Service Utility". Anyone who uses an Epson printer should have this program.

You can download it here:

It has the capability to reset the ink counter back to full.

As soon as I did that, BOOM! My printer is a happy camper again. There were no nozzles clogged or anything.

This program also fixed another problem I had.

Sometimes, when you have clogged nozzles, you only have clogged color nozzles or clogged black nozzles. The SSC Service Utility can clean only the nozzles that you need to clean and you can avoid having excessive ink cleaning nozzles that do not really need to be cleaned.

My Epson printer has always been more reliable than my Lexmark printer which is why I spent a lot of money having them fixed.

Also, you can really save on printer ink by using another program called, "Ink Saver".

This program is a big money saver. You can save up to 75% of your printer ink.
