We bought this printer 9 months ago because we wanted the automatic duplex function (a feature that has worked well), but the printer's ink management is a real problem. The printer completely stops working when it is unhappy with the ink situation. Other printers I've had will allow you to print in a lighter tone while inks are running out; this one will stop in the middle of a document, and doesn't offer any override feature to allow you to complete your printing. Additionally, we made a choice we would prefer to forgo the warranty in order to save money on non-epson inks; however, if the printer detects the ink is not made by epson, it will stop printing until the ink is changed, even in the ink is nearly full. It will be back to HP for us next time around, until then, it looks like we are in for expensive epson ink costs.
