I know it's designed to run out of everything immediately, and like Madagascar, SHUT. EVERYTHING. DOWN.

If you somehow manage to work around it telling you need cyan ink to prink in black, then you'll eventually hit it's page limit where the kill switch gets flipped, effectively forcing you to buy a new printer, (but this can also be worked around if you know that's what you're dealing with.)
I love my Kodak ESP7 I got in, what, 2007 or 2008? But the one thing I hate is if one ink cartridge, color or black, is done, the whole thing is done. You can't even use the scanner. You have to replace the empty cartridge and there is no way of cheating the system to get it to work otherwise. It sucks. But, I have gotten my money's worth out of the printer and it has done a fantastic job aside from this quirk.
