Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! However, we discovered something truly scary and evil. Your Printer Manufacturer can actually stop your printer from printing.
Happy Halloween! However, we discovered something truly scary and evil. Your Printer Manufacturer can actually stop your printer from printing. If you happen to purchase and use compatible or remanufactured products to lower your cost to print then by accepting a Firmware or Software Driver update, you could lock your printer to only operate with OEM Brand Products. Scary but true... The message is simple. Please, do not accept ANY changes to your printer(s). If you are happy with the printer's performance, then there will be no benefit for you to accept firmware upgrades disguised as product updates or system improvements or printer enhancements or any other phraseology used by the OEMs. Today's technology allows OEM Printer Manufacturers to control how your printer reads and reacts to the ink or toner cartridge chip and if it's not an OEM chip then it will lock the printing function and display a frightful warning. Similar to: “Your cartridge is empty”, “Your cartridge is not properly installed” or “Your cartridge is not recognized”. Protecting our customers and their desire to lower printing costs is a priority of Priceless. So please don't be fooled, don't click the “authorization to automatically upgrade your printer software (Firmware or Drivers)” when first installing your new printer or registering for warranty purposes. DON'T ALLOW FOR AUTOMATIC UPDATES! YOUR PRINTER WILL WORK BETTER IN THE MORNING! Remember these software and firmware updates are for the benefit of the manufacturer not yours. Anything that keeps you purchasing their branded ink and toner products is their ultimate goal. Like we learned many times, if it isn't broke don't fix it. Don't be part of the Group that is locked out from using any alternative and less costly products. Just Say No to any updates or new firmware offered (for free) by Lexmark, Samsung, Dell, IBM, Epson, Canon, HP, Brother or any OEM looking to take control over your equipment. Happy Halloween, enjoy the candy but stay away from Printer software updates, we hope we haven't scared you too much?
