EPSON gave refunds on consumables (even used) and printers on the 1270 
and siblings in  part  to avoid a very likely class action suit.. 
against both EPSON and the PPA (who endorsed the 1270 and 870 for 
professional use)

In the US, a consumer sued when EPSON denied warranty service b/c they 
used 3rd party inks.. EPSON lost...

The EU Parliament has this year passed and codified regulations 
prohibiting the sale of printers engineered to prevent/prohibit the 
reuse/recycling of cartridges and consumables (that one was aimed 
directly at EPSON, Canon, HP, and Lexmark)

It's a start..
