Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The printer works quite well, except for two extremely annoying features: 1) Epson has installed a basically fraudulent feature which decides when you need to replace ink cartridges and will not print when it decides this, even if the printer has been printing perfectly satisfactory dark copies to that point and is likely to continue to do so (and it will not print a black & white document even if the magenta ink cartridge is the only one "requiring replacement") -- planned obsolescence at its worst -- and 2) the scanning feature often forgets the computer it has been set to deliver its output to, even if it has been set up to recognize it and is sitting right next to it, requiring that the set-up procedure be repeated each time that this happens. I would not buy this printer (or any other Epson printer) again. (By the way, Hewlett Packard has installed the same "won't print" features on its printers.) Obviously the sale of ink is where their profit is and they intend to maximize this at the expense of the consumer.
