Do printers do this to you?

Oh dear tanith. At least mine informs me with monotonous regularity that I should change the cartridges, it does keep printing until eventually there is no ink. I do not have an answer but that would drive me crazy because you are just wasting hard earned cash.

Yup, had that the other day, my printer decided the red cartridge needed changing and wouldn't do anything till it got a new one.
The little devil must have just wanted to annoy me, I suppose.

I could actually jump out of the window, what is it with printers? I must be on my third printer and last year I bought a nice easy to use printer and the cartridges weren't too expensive but I went to print something today and even though the cartridges in the darn thing are practically new it is insisting it won't print until I've changed the cartridges. I am just so angry.

Please don't suggest I do this that or the other because believe me we have tried everything suggested by the manufacturer and by forums that deal with this frustrating stuff.
They are genuine cartridges and we have removed them and they is still plenty of ink in them, even checking the levels in the maintenance mode shows they have plenty but will it work? NO NO NO!!!

Just had to get this off my chest.
