Query: Great, but unfixable problems after one year.

I do like this printer - really great inks. Did a lot of research on printers before getting this one about 2 years ago. However, after having problems with ink splotches on the sides of my prints, and after realizing that it started guzzling enormous amounts of ink during its routine cycling, I did a little more research. I read online at Duncan Davidson's site that he's been having the same problems. http://duncandavidson.com/2008/08/two-big-hp-b9180-problems.html, which leads me to believe my problem wasn't a one-off. After a few weeks of replacing inks, and without printing, I'm finding that the printer has been using up all the ink doing its maintenance cycles. HP recommends leaving this printer on all the time, and turning it off doesn't solve the blotches on the edges of prints due to the printheads hitting the edges of paper. I'm hoping they fix this problem because initially i loved the printer.
