RE: [SLE] Looking for a new printer.

I chose an Epson Stylus 800 before getting serious about Linux because I
thought the colors were truer than Canon, especially red.

It installs easily in Linux and the only thing I miss is the more complete
interface available on W95. :-(

FWIW, I tried refilling cartridges with bulk ink, which worked for about 4
cartridges, then the printer started producing very poor images. Have since
used about 6 or 7 new cartridges and still do not have the original quality of
the printer.
I do save money, however, by using Amazon Imaging Inc cartridges from
Warehouse.com and they worked very well until I messed with that bulk ink
business. Friend of mine had exactly the same problem on his printer (not an
Epson) with bulk inks.

Cheers,
Bill Barnes
