I have only just take delivery of this printer and explorig its capabilities. Having ordered this from PIXmania, France, it comes with a continental power lead, rather than the English 3 pin lead. Basic setup instructions were fine until you need to set up the LAN and Wi-Fi. Also the CD that contains the drivers is only for Windows XP and Vista, you have to downlaod the new drivers from Epson. The instruction manual for the fax facility does not cover English and the adapters for the telephone line once again do not cover the BT system. (Windows 7 does have a basic driver for this printer but you do ned the additional drivers for the Wi-Fi etc). Talking of manuals, even the downladed version from Epson does not cover all points, example there is a 'sleep mode' not mentioned but activation of this is not readily logical. Once set up it prints documents extreamely well. I have seen some articles saying the black print is dark green, well to my untutored eye it is black. This 'hype' was also atributed to my other Epson printer, and to be honest I do not know what they are talking about. The machine seems well built and solid, well it weighs enough. The 2 tray system is great but remember only 1 tray is for A4, the other tray might hold envelopes but it is intended for photographic paper [4x6). I wiould tend to say this is a great printer but a bit quirky in setting up as some things are undocumented.
