Comments on: Print, scan, copy with $55 Epson Stylus Photo printer

If you don't mind "settling" for a refurb, the all-in-one RX595 can handle all your scanning, copying, and photo-printing needs.

Expensive printer ink jsut disappeared with the new KODAK Easy Share line of ink jets.
They provide double the cartridge life at near less the costof others ie epson,kCannon,HP to mention a few.
Black Cartridge 9.95 color pack 14.95 done.
Its about time that the competitors lost busness as they all made smaller cartritges with resulting less ink for lage unit prices.
Kodak will swamp the market as I paid less for a 5300 series 72 dollars + free shipping thur Buy .com
and get significantly more ink at prices noted above along with direct online ordering when I need more ink. Prints a quality page in both black and white or color

Well, I think I know why Epson has slashed the price on this one, offered free shipping, and seemingly has a near-infinite supply of refurbished units. I ordered one of these on a whim after reading this article. It arrived today. Started through the setup and got as far as the message "cannot recognize ink cartridges". Their tech support (Ukraine?) was unable to do anything so, after going through the proper dance, they are supposed to be sending me a replacement immediately. We'll see.

I've never had a problem with refurbished units in the past but I guess there is a first time for everything. My hope is that if the replacement is equally screwed I'll be able to return it without excessive hassles. Oh well, live and learn...

Yikes! Sorry to hear that. Hope Epson steps up and makes it right.
