Digital BW, The Print

I will say that I tend to agree with that.  I used mine for color printing for a number of years (OEM inks) --printing many hundreds of prints--and now (I finally got it printing again--reinstalled driver yet again) I have a very persistent clog.  Not sure I will worry about it and just retire it, but I loved this printer for a good number of years.  And--they are really reasonably priced now--altho' they look different than mine (is this what is being referred to as the 'silver' 1280--the new one??)

  Should I return it?

  I would suggest using it. If it develops the problem we are
  discussing, you will have gotten a few years use out of it, spent 2X
  what you paid for the printer on paper and almost as much on ink. At
  the price they are a great deal even if they only last a few years.
  And the prints are great. 

  Also consider:
  1) this potential problem may or may not be real. Don't draw firm
  conclusions from a few posts (including mine)
  2) if real, they may be a solution.
