I've got an Epson C62 here and it works great. I've never used it under Windows but its never had the problem you describe above under Mandrake here... Only problem I've ever had with it was when I used one of those cheap, generic "Amazon" refill cartridges. It growled, clacked, and carried on something awful. (wouldn't work either!). <grin>
I had a little problem getting a "cheap" refill to work, but it finally did. It behaves the same no matter which cart I use.
I called Epson and they said put a "true" Epson replacement cartridge back in it and watch it take off. They were right. They also filled me in on something that I did not know - if you use a non-Epson cartridge, it voids the warranty. (that sounds like BS, but thats what they said). Anyways, I'm running mine via USB, never tried the printer port. Which way are you running it and can you switch just to see if it makes a diff?
Printer port on the table top machine and USB on the laptop - same results.
