Epson always was a crappy company. They embraced the Kodak principle of 
selling the printer at or below cost and rape you on the ink. I don't 
print often enough so ink jet printers have always been a problem for me. 
After a few episodes with ammonia and a toothbrush every time you want to 
print something you give up. My Samsung CLP-315 solved the problem. It 
says a lot that I haven't replaced the toner. Either I really don't print 
much or the Samsung came with full toner cartridges rather than Epson's 
usual test drive filling.
