I think you will find there is a new (old) corporate culture developing around HP. Their new(ish) CEO is taking these issue very seriously, and they realize they lost a lot of goodwill over the last few years. The HP name and market share is way to valuable for them to have it associated

My original Epson Stylus Photo ended up with a couple of clogged jets which I could not clear. Possibly my use of third-party ink was to blame; or possibly I let the printer sit too long (6 months?) without being used. It never occurred to me to complain to Epson; I just bought a new Stylus

If you get good service in addition to an incredible bargain, it's certainly worth noting. I don't like to see a sense of entitlement, here, which causes a consumer to become righteous about getting what we deserve. From my perspective, if you spend $300 for high-end quality, I'm not sure you

I use both Ps and PSP. I think each have their advantages and, when working with converted CAD images, the ability to precisely define a rotation is a great feature in PSP. Neither applications, however, do well at rotating images at other than 90 degree increments - I think Photoshop may do it

Some of us disagree. No matter what you pay for a product or service $1 or $1,000 the buyer is entitled to expect and indeed demand the level of quality, performance, and service that the company has advertised for that product and/or service. This is nice in theory but where in Epson's (to
