So I have been researching Epson MFPs which have 6 seperate ink cartidges.
My needs are classic home user:
- scanning 1200/2400
- photocopying
- monochrome and colour printing up to A4
- photo printing up to A4
- ideally printing direct from assorted flash memory sticks (I have both sony and SD cards).
Well, assuming you'd consider separate units...
The Epson photo PX 650 looks as if it would fit the bill, but it does not appear in the linux openprinting database. There is a driver quoted for it which appears to require the installation of the lsb packages but I'm not sure how well supported this might be.
Does anyone here have any experience of this printer? And if not, what other epson (or non HP printer which meets the above requirements) can people recommend?
I've found my Epson Stylus photo R200 reliable, and it paints pretty good pics, but it is prone to drying-up if it isn't used regularly.
I've had it for quite a number of years now. But, it doesn't come with built-in scanner.
I an understand the draw of a small footprint, but if one function dies, effectively if you want to keep the small footprint, so do both.
(Anyone want a C5280 which /might/ be fixable)
Doubt it.
