Not really. I had an Epson multifunction that wouldn't scan because I had an aftermarket ink cart in it. I confirmed with their tech support. I removed the non-OEM cart and still it wouldn't scan until I put a fresh OEM one in. I didn't even give it to goodwill; I recycled it. No one should have to put up with that bullshit. I won't touch Epson products from now on. I bought a Brother laser multifunction and it runs like it should.
