And do what with his old one?
Now if you mean it's not worth actually replacing the waste ink pad if
it's really full, you're probably right. However, I just reset the
counter on my eight-year-old Canon BJC-50 for maybe the fourth or fifth
time without any ill effects. Not that Canon isn't still making money
off me on this thing, mind you. They're about to pick my pocket for
another $50 for a new printhead. Seems they don't last more than about
eighteen months any more. Planned obsolescence can take many forms, it
appears. Oh well, they'll throw in a new set of ink tanks with it for
that price.

Are you using Canon ink. My IP4000 is going strong after about 3 years
or (got it when they first came out) and I have not problems of any
kind. So if yours only lasts 18 months you are probably using crappie ink.
