Epson Stylus Photo R800
CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Excellent print quality; relatively fast photo printing; flexible printer driver; no need to swap Matte Black and Photo Black cartridges.
8
out of 10View score
The bad: Doesn't handle changes in output resolution gracefully; no PictBridge support.
The bottom line: Despite some finicky printhead behavior, this excellent printer earns an Editors' Choice for photo enthusiasts.

I have tried everything I know and have been told to do with my R800 and nothing seems to work. I am selling it and going back to HP after two long years of fooling around.
