It seems like there is at least a replacement waste ink tank
("maintenance box")for the XP-15000, but you are obviously right about
the ink costs...

Thank you for the screenshots. I think I will want to use Epson Premium
Luster for the nicer images. Looks like there is no preset for that,
though?

OK, so the basics are there...

I did calibrate my monitor, which has made a big difference... But I
would like to avoid to buy another tool to measure prints. So I'm
interested in readymade ICC profiles for printer/ink/paper
combinations.
Have you tried to use ICC profiles for print output with the Epson
driver? Is that even possible? I guess one would need to pick the paper
type closest to the one being used and "tweak" the input data for the
driver using an ICC profile?

Scanning over LAN/WLAN is difficult, I think. I have a b/w combi
printer/scanner on the LAN, with a nice sheet feeder and scan button,
which insists on scanning only single pages, and only if the scan ist
started on the PC. I think USB is probably a better choice.
Cheers
