That’s a real pity, I am sorry for your great loss... :(

No problem, these printer where bought to be used.

I've set one of the broken ones in service mode and saved the eeprom.
In fact this printer (I bought in 2011 as a backup) printed 1700 pages in it's whole life.
From observing other printers I acquired this is a decent average for a home printer.
Let's say €70 purchase that makes 4ct/page for the printer.

My first MX7600 was about €370 but it lasted 20.000 pages, that's less than 2ct/page for the printer (my second was €10 + €110 for a new printhead, lost the count but at least 6000, that's also 2ct/page until now).

Considering the paper (1ct/A4, 10ct 10x15 photo) and as major cost the ink, from the view of the printer manufacturers this is very acceptable.

Given the very low ink cost when refilling, I see no reason to complain.
On average I paid as much as other printer users, but I enjoyed printing as much as I wanted :).
