Advice from the Epson Rep: Turn it Off

[AlphaDog]

I don't own Epsons, but that's what I've always heard Epson users say. That's why I don't dare have one; I'm so used to HPs that go for years without being turned off that I'd never remember to do it. My Canon is pretty forgiving, too, although it hasn't been running as many months non stop as the HP has. Apparently Epsons have some kind of little "routine" they go through when powered down and back up that keeps the heads from clogging.

As far as I'm concerned, having a printer that had to be turned off when it wasn't in use would totally defeat the purpose of my network.
