the scanner works really good...but if you do not use the printer for a while, it says you are out of ink and have to replace the cartridges...not a really good 'all-in-one'!
This printer is a great buy [Posted on 2007-08-07]
I have really liked this printer. I don't understand the complaints about photo printing because I think it prints good quality photos. It IS slow, but that isn't important to me. It's frugal on ink, and I like the ability to replace individual color cartridges as they run out.
good print quality but poor design [Posted on 2007-08-07]
I had a CX4600 before I was sent a CX4800, which was fortunately covered and replaced under warranty due to the clogging issue many people have covered. I like the print quality of Epson printers, but unfortunately that's overshadowed by poor printer design.
That said, the trick with these printers is twofold:
1. TURN THE PRINTER OFF when you're not using it. Don't leave it on for extended periods of time. This causes the ink to dry out.
2. YOU MUST PRINT and/or run a cleaning cycle at AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, if not more, to keep the ink from drying up in the waste ink hoses, which is the source of the worst clogs. It's even in the Epson manual, p30: "If you do not use your Epson Stylus CX often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality".
It's a bit involved to repair yourself, but it can be done. Do a Google search for "inkjetprinterhelp" and you'll find a web site that has some comprehensive instruction on how to fix.
Shame on Epson for producing such a poor quality printer design.

Good looking output, and a inexpensive printer...but by the time you keep it fed, it is not inexpensive. The ink ends up costing you more than the money you saved...
Did not last [Posted on 2008-05-08]
This printer broke before I could refill the ink. My sister had one and it did the same thing. I now have a Brother Laser All-in-one and the HP Photosmart 2700 and no problems. Epson quality is very poor. Stick with Brother, Samsung, or HP.
