Epson planned to put a timer into their chipped cartridges that would
automatically disable them if you didn't used them fast enough. AFAIK,
that plan got deep six'd. To build that into firmware would cause a
firestorm.
Makes sense that you could do this kind of printing with a Canon Pro9000
as it allows you to print on stiff printing media from the front.
