Quoting Ironsides: "The 2000C had this problem with the original ink cartriges. The newer cartriges don't have and expiration date in them."
Yes they do. I still use a couple of 2000C printers at home and at work. Here's an interesting wrinkle. The 2000C at home was on an old 98SE machine running under the HP driver/toolbox software, and I had several "expired" carts under that configuration. That printer got moved to an XP machine using the more-barebones driver included with XP. It prints fine and all of the settings I need are there, but the "expired cart" problem STOPPED. Right now that printer has a yellow cart dated 0402 and a magenta dated 0502. Both should have expired under the "30-month" plan but still have ink and work fine.
