I see that you can look to it online here

The Epson models of Ecotank printers with ink tanks vary between different business regions - particular models may be available here or there or not - the T-2860 is an entry level combo running at 175€ in Germany. The waste ink box is available behind a plastic cover, and waste ink boxes are...
I'm not aware of a document epxlaining board level repair on component level. About the only thing you can do is to trace the power input into the circuitry , there is most likely as a very first component a fuse, or more - per different voltage, and if it's the fuse(s) there is most likely a...
thanks, I'm not running a P3750 printer but a T3100X, the driver provides a 'Save paper' option and I would expect a similar option in your printer.
Page 113 oif the user manual with the roll paper options refers to cut options for borderless printing...
Reset keys for the reset of the waste ink pads cost a few dollars, but the waste ink pads need to be replaced as well or the ink will leak out of the printer sooner or later.

I'm not running on W11 yet, but I would assume that you can continue to use your hardware, it may be necessary to re-install those drivers again you are using now with win10.
There is no direct successor anymore for the R360 and similar models from that product family; you need to decide first...
Thick paper - whatever type - as well various types of FineArt papers, and cotton based papers may even be thicker - may lower the platen gap so much that the printhead is touching the nozzle plate here and there and leaving black stripes on the print. There is an option in the ET-8550 driver -...
It is correct that you need a separate icc-profile for any ink + paper combination, and be aware that the paper as well has a strong impact onto the color rendition and not just the ink.
I need to contradict your statement very much that the Canon inks of the P200 - Chromalife 100+ - don't have...
A service manual would explain such error code;

@pharmacist - thanks for all the additional information; I returned the i1Studio package already back to a friend of mine, he is happy with it but is not using it very frequently, he tells me that he has profiled all the papers already he is using.
