[NTLUG:Discuss] Color printer for Linux

I realize that everyone is probably tired of hearing this branch of the 
conversation, but I just had to add my counter opinion to the above 
statement. The print-head "which is better" battle has been around for a 
long time. Epson fans consider the head-per-printer to be of superior 
quality than head-per-cart. The head-per-cart stays competitive by 
putting a lower quality head on.

Lastly, I've had my Epson Photo 785EPX printer for many years. Several 
periods of multi-week idle items. Running strong with no clogs. Yes, 
after sitting for several weeks, I had to do a clean-head cycle. No big 
deal. Oh, I confess. One of the motives for looking into store and/or 
online photo printing is so my wife has one less excuse of her not able 
to print photos (she has me do them).
