I can't really complain about Epson pricing, it seems reasonable if you shop well. I CAN AND WILL complain about this though: I bought an Epson LQ-1000 last year, for an employer to use for WP, and this year you can't buy a sheet feeder for the thing! OK, Epson's association with IBM may have taught them arrogance (Gee, those people at IBM know about that!), but you can still buy parts and support for IBM CPU's that are 20 years old. This printer was new last year and this year you can't get a sheet feeder for it? Well, Epson, if you want to play tag-along, play by the rules of the people you tag along with! Anyone know of a vendor that sells "old" Epson hardware that Epson doesn't sell anymore? === Leo E.
