New printer wanted

[Moonlight]

That's a good printer old boy but why didn't you get the ET-3750 version?, the canon I bought was needed for a print job that needed to be done on the Monday, as it was an urgent job any printer was better than none.

I will give it away to charity now as the warden in our bungalow complex says we can all do any printing or scanning we need doing using the office printer for a small donation towards costs.

1.) costs 100 - 120 coins more.
2.) printing resolution of mine is slighlty higher (yes, the smaller printer has higher printing resolution and smaller ink droplets, its true)
3.) have no need for an automatic multi paper feed, I only scan rarely somethign and then it mostly is single page only.
4.) flat top due to the missing multi paper feed, therefore the suface can be used to put (light) things on it.

WiFi now also put together, works. Simple.

After some days I must say the design and the functionality details are still superb. Its not my first Epson in my life, but alreeady my third, if not fourth, I may have forgotten one. They all were excellent value for their money, and excellently designed and compact. Seems to be the to-go-to brand for printer now, at least for me. For Linux, Brother and Epson are practically without alternative, they are the only brands I know providing factory drivers for Linux by default. Not sure about HP, but I only always hear cursing and angry yelling when somebody mentions HP printers. And when I look at their costs for ink cartridges... I'm very happy with my device. Printed some photos now as well on photo paper. Very good, much better than the reviews suggested. Sufficiently serves my needs. And no cryptic display instructions, but very easy, straight handling. Thats how it is to be done.

He who buys cheap a printer, pays more afterwards for the ink. Better invest more into a good printer, and save on ink later on. Over the distance, you most likely save money this way.
