Takes freakin ages to print a page, Minutes in some cases, and heaven help if it runs out of ink, just getting the print head into the correct position to change it is a mission,never mind getting it to acknowledge their is a new cartridge fitted. Mine has come so veryclose to being ripped off the desk and thrown outside, Its only the fact its only a month old (and I bought it for the wifes use) that has saved it. It also goes through ink like water, and a complete set of ink is near $100.	Metla (12)

Even if the cartridges in that printer are not neccessarily full. PJ	Poppa John (284)

It also seems to hang up regularly And won't print - need to then power down printer and PC and then wait.	KenESmith (6287)

Since then we have moved on to a cheap HP, which runs well (touch wood) :).	davidmmac (4619)

794839	2009-08-16 10:48:00	hmmmm......Was getting frustrated as my TX100 refused to accept the ink cartridge was installed, then I kinda slammed the top of it with my fist and smashed the scanner tray. Its junk now, Though it was junk to start with, I have half a mind to smash it into smaller pieces and send to to Epson with a hate note. I gave them a $100 of damn fine dollars and they gave me useless crap and frustation in return. Never again. Funny enough, I'm not real popular at the moment.	Metla (12)
