Summary: Great Printer, But Very Noisy
Review: I bought this printer recently and have used it for a couple monthsnow. As far as quality goes, this is as good as any Inkjet printer I've seen. We have an HP Inkjet printer also and this Epson printer cranks out just as good of results as the HP--the printers are very comparable. This Epson printer was about $10 cheaper than the HP 612, its counterpart...Another important thing about this printer: the ink refills aren't too bad (price-wise) compared to say, the Lexmark Z11, this printer's counterpart in the Lexmark brand. The refills aren't any more expensive than the average Inkjet printer. My only complaint with this printer is that it makes terrible racket when printing. It is much, much, noisier than the HP printer and as noisy of a printer as I've heard. May not be an issue with most people, merely an annoyance. The main thing is quality and this printer passes with flying colors. Oh, one more key thing about this printer: it is USB compatible. You will be very hard-pressed to find another USB compatible printer at this price. If you can get past the noise of this printer, I highly recommend it. Epson is a solid printer manufacturer.

Summary: 1 year wonder
Review: I got this printer with my new Gateway system a little over a year ago and it died. Using less than 1 cartridge I would think it would last a little longer. The paper would lock into place and get stuck in that one place. I don't recommend this printer

Summary: Easy to use & install
Review: I got this, not having installed a printer before, and I was terrified. Thankfully, it was easy for me to install, and it has been very easy to use!The images print out clearly, and quite quickly. I have run this on both my old AMD K6, and my current computer, a Pentium III, and on both it has performed quite well. My family has always purchased epson products, and I see why, I'm very satisfied with my purchase!

Summary: How durable is it?
Review: I have a Epson Stylus 600. The quality of the print is good, but, the quality of the printer is not. The printer only good for about 800 pages, then the nozzle broke, and the printer does not work any more. So is a friend of mine with his Epson Stylus 870. I would like to doubt the durability of Epson ink jet printers.

Summary: Dead on printing + simplicity + compatibility
Review: I've had my Epson for nearly a year now and it performs just great. I have PC and Mac and really needed connectivity. The serial and parallel made the decision easy for me. Add USB as the new standard to most computers - life is good. The speed is not lightening fast, but this doesn't bother me because I'm not a print shop. The print quality is outstanding; especially if you use glossy paper. The color matching from a range of applications like Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Freehand, and QuarkXpress, etc. is also very good. The only hick-up was when the print head flew into the far left side and thought it was printing on paper. Using the simple utility software to correct this got me right back on track. The only other trouble is the connectivity from my PowerBook G3. Sometimes you need to turn the printer on first, then boot the portable. The software bundles itself in your print/print setup of whatever software you're using. It's straight forward and allows quite a bit of control is you really want to tweak stuff out. Regardless of the small hiccups, both on the PC MS98/NT and Mac platforms - I haven't had and major problems. If you are looking for value and decent print quality, look no further.
