Title: Printer unclog pattern dates on different printers
Post by: Crash Ash on April 20, 2018, 12:06:44 AM
Greetings,
I have and Epson Styles Pro 4900 that I would like to run a daily unclog pattern and I have my desktop printer, an Epson ET-2650 that I do my normal office printing task on. I would like to run an unclog pattern on this printer maybe every 3 or 4 days. When I run the scheduler, it defaults to one or the other's schedule. Either I get both printer running a daily pattern that I want on my 4900 or I get every 3 or 4 days that I schedule for my 2650. Is there a way to make either printer work on it's own schedule. I set the dates for either on differently but they both print on the same schedule.

Thanks for a great program,
It has made my printing task much easier.

If my memory serves me right, I think Qimage can do multiple printers but only one schedule
Not positive. But pretty sure.
Anyone else have experience with this?

OK that sounds like what I thought. Don't really know if I need to put the Epson ET-2650 on the schedule. It is just the office printer but it only gets used on weekends at best so just trying to keep the small printhead in workable shape. It is the 4900 that I need to keep running in top form. My God ink is expensive.  But then again, so is every other hobby I have.

Thanks for the feed back.

Some one once did  a price per gallon mock up for ink based on the price per ml of ink
I pay 17.00 for 13 ml.
This is beyond my math skills, but you can see where this is going.

 ;D So with 3785 ml per gallon, that's $4950. per gallon. Pricier than gasoline or good booze.

2018.117 can now print unclogs to different printers at different rates (# days).

Enjoy,
Mike
