Are you talking about the Epson Stylus C42UX? I don't have experience of running it under Linux but I do under windows and that printer is horrid compared to the quality I get from my old HP Deskjet 710C.
Hmmm, it is apparently only 35 quid from online retailers, that probably explains the quality.... (the C42UX)
Well it's very likely that it is sold by Epson at cost or even small loss.
This is the thing that bugs me about InkJet Printers (especially the lower end ones) The Gillette business model.
That's why every time I see those Epson printers doing their cleaning cycle, shooting that ever so expensive ink into little pads below the head, I have to wonder.
