| | Espon R200 Photo Printer I have this printer from some years and I'm happy with it. Now the problem is with Win Vista. There is not a specific drive for this Printer under Vista. The printer print ok, no problem for this, the problem is the Printer Monitor that can not see the inks status. So I can not know if a cartridge is out of ink. Tried to contact Espon for new driver but no chance. Any Idea? TIA Alberto Vitiello Milano - Italy |

If you need the ink monitor, you might try installing the XP one using compatibility mode. Clark |

| | Re: Espon R200 Photo Printer I routinely disable the status monitor because it can cause problems with networked printers and other printer status monitors. In any event, you should get either a printing error or incorrect output colors when the ink is very low. Beyond that, the R200 is slow and of just average printing quality when compared with the "latest and greatest". In desperation, I ended up replacing a slow Brother 420CN all in one with an Epson WF 600. The Epson 600 out of the box is much faster than my R300, and produces good to very good quality results. In fact, the yellow/green transition is seemingly more accurate on the WF 600. Epson sort of lied about "built in double sided" printing, in that there is no duplexer on this model.

| | Re: Espon R200 Photo Printer It's gotten so that printers are inexpensive, and the hassle involved with getting an older slower printer to work may not be worth the effort. This happened to me with older epson dot matrix printers some years ago, then with couple of cannon printers, a panasonic laser, and finally a brother all in one. My epson R300 is starting to show it's age. Funny enough, I have a cannon S750 that ""knock on wood" has turned out to be an inexpensive to operate, long lived printer. So far it's outlasted two newer printers, a brother and several older printners. It may even outlast the R300, which was originally bought to replace the S750.
