When the Ink goes low frustration goes up
The printer works fine for the most part. Good quality and the wireless network is a really nice feature so you can eliminate cables. I was actually fairly happy with it. The menu systems on the front panel are extremely crude and hard to navigate, but that was really my only gripe.
However, this printer has proven the most irritating design in one respect. When you reach a low ink level, the front control panel is completely frozen giving you a message to "Relace Ink Cartidges now".
You can no longer scan, fax, or do anything with this device until you go buy ink (can someone at epson please explain that one to me? Why can't I scan? That doesn't use any ink!!!).
Then just to make it even more irritating, if you are low in black ink (like I am) you can't even print in other colors. My status monitor just sits there on my computer telling me that my ink cartridges are low (duh, I know that by now epson thank you very much).
...and as the frustration level gets really high, do you think I can close that window so I can move on to other things? Uh...NO. That little irritating status monitor can not be closed, only minimized! So it's going to sit here on my computer until I go buy a black ink cartridge.
ARGH!!!!
I guess I didn't buy a wireless color inkete all in one printer...I bought an irritating little sister who constantly tells me "buy ink...buy ink...buy ink..."
