Summary: worked for less than 9 months
Review: After spending the summer wrapped up in its box my son's 777i doesn't work anymore - the print head can only move 2 inches to the left. The troubleshooting guide says I should contact Epson to get a replacement but given how inexpensive printers are now and the fact that my son needs a printer for school I am not sure what to do. My investment in cartridges for ONLY this model exceeds the cost of buying a new unit, but I am considering buying a more reliable machine, less I face this situation every September!

Summary: Good but noisy.
Review: As far as printing quality goes, this printer is great! I've used it to print regular black-and-white text and it works great. I've also printed out pictures that I have scanned and pictures I've taken with my digital camera. The picture quality is EXCELLENT as long as you use photo paper and set the printing quality to Photograpic. It does consume ink rapidly, but what can you expect when you're printing images? Aside from that, it makes a great deal of noise when it's starting up, and randomly when it is about to start printing. Still, this printer is very good and does the job right.

Summary: You CAN refill the ink!
Review: As other reviews have already indicated, this is overall a pretty good and cheap printer.One important fact that no one has reported yet is that you can now refill the ink cartridges for very little money. First, you need to reset the chip on the ink cartridge that tells the printer it when it gets empty. There are two ways currently available to achieve this. One method involves keeping a full cartridge around and using it to trick the printer into resetting your empty cartridge. Details about this method are available at ... ... Another method is a software solution that resets the chip without requiring you to keep a full cartridge around (also good because the full cartridge apparently gets used up after about 40 refill proceedures). This software is not free, though (currently $..., which is cheaper than a cartridge). It's available from: ... Then, of course, you need ink. You can get a refill kits with syringes, etc. and then buy bulk inks from: ... You can get, for example, the equivalent of 3 black refills for $.... Pretty cheap. You can also get the ink cheaper in larger quantities. Hope this helps someone (I do not work for any of the above companies).

Summary: Noisy black ink guzzler printer
Review: Color pictures are rendered very nicely but the black ink replacements will kill you. Got one free with my computer but the paper feed was broke so I was sent a replacement. I have burned through five black cartridges and one color cartridge in a year and I don't print all that often. The printer is quite noisy when it's turned on. When you print a page it makes a lot more noise picking up the first sheet of paper and preparing the ink nozzles. I am printer shopping again after this expensive mistake.

Summary: Sheesh....
Review: Don't get me wrong. I have been a fan of Epson's for a very long time from the inception of the Stylus II to the 800. However, my 800 died after long, faithful and workhorse-like service. So I saw the rather affordable 777! So, like a fool, I believed that inkjet printers had become extremely cheap and wouldn't feel that Epson had compromised on quality. Right? Wrong!! First and foremost, the printer felt as if it had to clean the inkjet cartridges--before printing--anytime that it had not been used for, say, a DAY...even if I left it on! As anyone owning an inkjet printer would know, this consumes ink. Then there was its functionality. Every, and I mean EVERY, single time I put in new ink, I noticed that streaking and banding would occur. This, of course, was easily corrected...BY CLEANING THE CARTRIDGES ONCE MORE. Honestly, if I installed the cartridges the first time when they were primed and CLEANED, you would not expect me to think: "Oh, geez, time to clean the heads AGAIN?!?" And it goes through ink in no time flat. Even purchasing inkjet cartridges at certain warehouse stores was not saving on the pocket book...within a month, I paid more for cartridges then I did for the original printer. YIKES! Don't bother with this printer. It went well for about a month and then decided to crash on me...hard. You DEFINITELY get what you PAY for here! If I had to make a recommendation, I would go with my recent purchase of an HP Photosmart 7350. It's a little pricey, but its functionality of incorporating a direct input for SmartMEDIA cards as well as its picture quality is worth the price.

Summary: For the money, none better
Review: Easy setup - had it printing in minutes. The USB port is fast and trouble-free. Print quality using glossy paper is incredible even with images from my lower-end Fuji Finepix 1400 digital camera. Text prints quickly (for an inkjet printer.) After months of frustration with paper-jams and errors from my HP Officejet, it is nice to finally have a printer that works! For the money, I don't see how the Epson Stylus 777 can be beat.

Summary: ...it's the ink, stupid
Review: Good quality, noisy (I can live with it), but no bargain. I've spent twice the purchase price in ink cartridges in no time at all. Also, if one of the cartridges is empty you can't print even if you only need the other cartridge. Next time I'll look elsewhere and check the ink cartridge price/availability first . Epson, are you listening?

Summary: ink eater
Review: I bought this printer and start printing some documents and a couple of pictures. My first encounter I notice the ink ran out rather quick. I went down to the store and bought a new pack of black and color ink. Then continue to print. I notice after some short printing time, the ink was running dry again. I was really angry knowing I've been 'duked' into buying this product because of its resonable price and good print job, but the thing is an ink eater. I felt I've been had by Epson, and I don't plan to buy their product anytime soon, if ever!
