   Howdy! Tom,   
      
   I've been places where HP Printers are used and seen a pop up message   
   saying "The Black Ink is Low", and asking "Would You want to use Color   
   Ink to print this job?".   
   With a choice to do that or not.   
      
   My Epson Printer doesn't ask, it just does what IT wants, which I found   
   out the other day.   
      
   I had a Commodore and Canon Printer die on me and because I went to   
   using a Epson Ribbon Printer I stayed with Epson when I got both of   
   these AIO's.   
      
   The Office Supply Store I buy my supplies at sends me Coupons that I   
   can't use to buy Epson Ink with, so I'm thinking of buying a Brothers   
   AIO when this Epson dies because their Coupon doesn't say I can't get   
   some dollars off if I buy Brothers Ink.   
      
   Have You any opinion on Brothers Printers before I would need to   
   replace what I'm using now?  Thanks!
