Yeah... the Epson Stylus is junk! Figures it would work with
Microcrap. The first one I bought was for my lab. SPSS did not like
it. The Epson extensions conflicted with the SPSS one despite
denials by Epson "support". Printing was so slow I could have done
the calculation by hand and _typed_ and proofed the output faster.
It took a major dramatic performance to get Epson to agree to take
the damn thing back. My daughter's stylus ate its paper feed right
after the warantee ran out with less that a couple of packs of paper
thru it. The third I bought for the lab for a non-SPSS purpose burnt
its motherboard, again right after the warantee - this printer used
more ink cleaning its nozzles than printing! The lifespan of these
thing is unbelievably short. The epson software only seems happy
when it has a ton of RAM. I have few other examples too. I wouldn't
touch a Stylus for any reason even if they are about the only people
making a 'serial' printer.
