I can't speak to the latest models, but I have an Epson Stylus Photo R-200 and for scanning an Epson Perfection 4490 Photo, also a lcd projector. The printer works with my linux pc which is one of the reasons for purchasing epson. I bought all as refurbished, through whatever is the refurbished link on the website. Zero problems with any.
The scanner comes with rigs for scanning transparencies and negatives up to 6x7cm. I jerryrigged a system to scan my old 4x5" negatives and transparencies, then assembled in GIMP. -B Gene Heskett wrote: > Greetings; > > My old and very faithful Epson C82 has apparently lost its printhead, it has > plenty of ink according to mtink, but every time I clean the heads, fewer > nozzles work, and the amanda backup report was printed without ink this > morning. > > So, I brought up from its storage in the basement, a 5 year old C88 I had > bought to use when I was on the road, but its out of yellow ink after about > 10 passes at cleaning its well dried nozzles.
