The printhead clean operations are required due to the very low duty cycle of operations you're using. If you printed more often, you'd probably see fewer clean operations.Rage wrote: "I can't scan because a cartridge is empty ?"
I heartily agree that sucks. I can almost guarantee that the engineers didn't want to make things work that way, but were forced into it by some douchebag in a suit.
If you really want a lower expense per page, a color laser printer might be a better deal. Unfortunately the printers are much more expensive than ink-jet. Since it sounds like you don't print very often, you could even give up having a printer and use a local print shop for the rare times you need one. I've got one in town where I live that you can e-mail a PDF to them and they will print the job. They offer a choice of papers, bindings, and so on.

Any technology that relies on a duty cycle that in excess of many user's requirements is fundamentally flawed and doomed to die.
Laser printers don't have that problem, are now relatively cheap to buy, and the consumables are far cheaper than the excessive head-cleaning of low duty-cycle inkjets.
Hell, even typewriters didn't have that problem...
Inkjets were good in their day, but their usefulness for general printing tasks has passed.
Although there still produce better photos than lasers.

After coming downstairs for a coffee at 05:30 and having Dij the Cat throw up on the carpet - wonderfull way to wake up fully, that - it might be worth you having a look at one of these: Bissell spot cleaner[^] - we have the previous generation without the heater (and one of the full size jobbies, but it's a pain to move and use)
It means that when cats have accidents - and they do that - it's simple and quick to clean up. Lift the lumps, spray the solution, scrub, and vacuum it up. Much, much more effective and pleasant than doing it manually...

They've designed it to look like it's from an 80's movie? Ghostbusters came to mind 
Looks pretty good, except that I don't have any fibers, carpets, rugs and upholstery.
Well, not enough to worry about it 
You've seen my floor, it's all PVC, throughout the house.

Brrr! We have a tile floor in the kitchen, and a wet-room floor in the bathroom, and they are both damn cold in winter - the carpets are a lot more foot-friendly!
Unless you have underfloor heating, or course - but I hear that is expensive to run.

I do, and it's more economical than radiators. In fact, I don't have a single radiator in my house (well, an electric one in the bathroom, but I never use it as it also has floor heating).
And PVC is great for floor heating as it let's a lot of heat through, making it more efficient than, say, laminate
In winter I just always have warm floors, which is great as I also always have cold feet!

I live in a flat above a guy who keeps his flat at Saharan temperatures during the winter. My underfloor heating literally costs nothing! I haven't turned my heating on once in two years.

I start VS2015 on Dell workstation and work on my C# project. don't feel much difference.

Well, what did you expect ?
Have you considered the designers of VS 2015 might be quite pleased you haven't noticed any difference ? On the other hand, if, over time, you never use any of the new features in the language (C# 6) or the IDE ... ?
There have been other, recent, posts here on CP that reported VS 2015 is slow compared to its predecessors.
There's a potential serious bug reported in VS 2015 (by Marc Gravell and Nick Craver) if you compile with the new 64-bit Ryujit compiler: I don't know if that's fixed yet, or not, but Nick Craver will tell you how to disable Ryujit: [^].
StackOverflow maintains a good thread on VS 2015 features, bugs, etc.: >[^]
cheers, Bill

You will after it crashed a couple of times
Well, that's my experience anyway. Can't edit HTML with Knockout in a CSHTML. It seems the intellisense for HTML/JavaScript makes VS2015 crash

I've been using both the RC for some time and release version. It appears to work pretty well. The only annoying bug is when I am compiling in a VM and my project is on a network drive, the compile fails because the precompiled headers are too large. This is a bug that has been around at least a decade and Microsoft never fixes it.
To be fair, I only use the IDE for debugging C++. I always compile from the command line (for cross platform compatibility) and use my a heavily customized editor that is MUCH, MUCH better than any IDE I have ever seen.

What suggests to you that those 3 people are regulars of the CP forums then, huh? Just what are you saying exactly?

Rant On...
I just posted a press release to the site and received an automated message that it was queued for review because it might be spam. According to the directions on the press release page
A press release must be written for the purpose of announcing something newsworthy. Advertisements, promotions, or anything smelling even vaguely of spam will be deleted.
Fair enough. Until you remember that the definition of press release is
A public relations announcement issued to the news media and other targeted publications for the purpose of letting the public know of company developments.
Thanks, post-bot. Now you've got me curious about what keywords trigger the flag and how to avoid them in future. 
...Rant Off

Ssh - no one really knows - it's a secret designed to bamboozle and frustrate everyone. You can post something designed to offend and it sails through; post something about a cat and it gets blocked. Dumb.

Your messages got stuck in the spam queue for reviewing.
I approved one of them on the basis that it was posted in the Press releases forum, but someone else must have nuked your other message while I was reading it.

Quite a lot of them actually.
It raises the question on whether the press releases forum should be excluded from the spam filter, or at least have another threshold.

Thanks for freeing it. I did a 2nd post after the 1st because there was no immediate feedback on what happened. I emailed webmaster and asked them to delete one and they must have done so.

A man pulled up next to a little girl walking home from school and said "If you get in, I'll give you a lollypop".
The girl kept walking.
Following along slowly, the man said "Come on and get in the car with me and I'll give you two lollypops".
She kept her eyes on the sidewalk and continued on her way. The man said "Get in with me and I'll give you this whole bag of lollypops!"
Finally, the girl turned and said "Look daddy, YOU bought the Ford, YOU ride in it!!!"
