Epson Stylus CX4600 Photo Printer

[nosredna]

A friend offered to give me her brand new, never used Epson Stylus
CX4600 Photo Printer. (She got it free with a laptop but didn't need the
printer.) My husband's ten-year-old HP DeskWriter is probably not long
for this world, so I figure the Epson might be a replacement. After
reading reviews, though, I'm thinking this free gift might be more
trouble and expense than it's worth. A few people rave about it, but
this review is more typical:

I know that color inkjet ink is expensive, but this Epson seems to eat
ink faster than the average inkjet. (My Canon i960 is great--and the
heads have only clogged once since I got it two years ago.) Anyone here
have this Epson model? Thoughts?

I got the same setup with my laptop. And while the scanner is nice,
unless Epson does something about their drivers, I wouldn't use it for
anything except printing word docs. Trying to get decent color
reproduction out this thing is a nightmare I'm still grappling with.
