Odd. Never had that problem.
My previous HP photo inkjet was absolutely wonderful for about 15 years, the last five of which it was doing a print run every two or three months. Never dried out, just moaned that the ink was out of date. Really cheap ink too, as it was so old!
Then the gears for the paper pickup broke and I couldn't figure out how to swap them.
My new inkjet has a reasonable scanner with stupid missing features - it won't do multi-page PDF (WTF?), but again is perfectly happy to do a print run every couple of months. Sadly its ink is very expensive.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
