1 What did you print? Depending on model printer and type of cartridge, Epson inkjet printers tend to get 150-300 pages per cart at 5% coverage. If you print pages which have more than 5% coverage you will get considerably fewer pages. This is especially so if you print pictures on glossy photo paper.
2 Which model printer do you have?
3 How many pages did you print?
4 Did you have to clear clogged print heads? Doing that can use up 10% of the ink in the cart, so clearing the heads two or three times can reduce the available ink appreciably. Note that some model printers, and not just Epson printers, will run the clean head routine automatically.
5 Which driver did you use?
6 You do know that Apple merely publishes the drivers, and it's the machine's vendor, in this case Epson, which writes them, don't you?
7 You do know that ranting in ALL CAPS is likely to make you seem to be someone who shouldn't be taken seriously, don't you? Over and above the minor fact that it's hard to read. And that means that you're not at all likely to get assistance.
