Title: Didn't work from the get-go
Product review: There was a time when Japanese products used to be reliable. Alas! I had problems with both the software and hardware of this terrible printer from the beginning. First, I spent 5 hours trying to overcome a persistent crash bug in the software, until belatedly finding a download patch from a third party. Then, when all began to seem well, the printer failed to print even a single page. Worse, since the level of ink in the cartridge is based on theoretical usage (not actual), it claimed that I had eaten up half my ink supply even though not a drop had been printed. At market prices, that's $15 in wasted ink.To be fair, I'll give Epson one chance with the warranty. However, I'm aghast to read in the fine print that they "recondition" all parts from my returned printer. I can only hope my piece of junk doesn't end up someone else's piece of junk. It belongs in the recycling bin.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
