I finally got my new all-in-one printer/scanner installed. I gave up on waiting for Simon. Between work and enjoying his break before school starts up again today, it just wasn't going to happen, even for money.

This Epson is wireless and I got it connected to our network okay but I haven't been able to open the scanner software so I can scan from my laptop. I can scan from the control panel of the Epson but I can't adjust any settings there. In that case, it takes 3 minutes to scan one card - in super high resolution, which I don't need or want for most stuff.

I've downloaded the latest drivers, software, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, etc. The messages I'm getting are that the laptop and scanner can't find each other, but clearly they can. I'll ask Steve or Simon to take a look - maybe fresh eyes will find the problem. To scan the above card, I plugged in the USB cord and then all is well.

I can tell why this Epson was only $150 - it's definitely cheaper than my other one. The plastic parts are pretty flimsy, for one. But it serves it's purpose and I won't feel bad when it gets worn out. Hopefully it will last at least a couple of years. The quality of items I've printed, copied and scanned all seem good - prints photos beautifully.
