Epson Stylus SX515W - Wireless All-In-One Printer Review

Does HP have a patent on front loading printers? I hate paper at the back of the printer as you can't push it up against the wall. It really limits my choices. What are the advantages of the paper going in at the back when you already have have the paper coming out of the front. It makes no sense to me...

@Joe - Front loading means the paper usually has to run around a fairly small diameter roller, which can cause problems with heavy-weight stock, like quality photo paper. Rear loading gives a much straighter path.

Bit late, but I'm only just looking for something like this.

This review seems a bit short.

My problem is that I've had Epson printers in the past (a Stylus Photo 830) and it cost a fortune in ink due to the amount of times I had to clean the print heads when trying to print a photo. On a short try-out this wouldn't have been found but over the long term was a nuisance. Does anyone know how more recent Epson printers fare on that score?

One of the other things I found with the Stylus Photo 830 was that, if I printed a photo using it's Print Image Matching technology where the photo had EXIF data in it, the quality of the image was superb (on those occasions where I hadn't already run out of ink due to having to clean the heads so much!). However pictures with no EXIF data in them, where I couldn't use the PIM function, came out looking nothing like they did on my monitor. Do recent Epson printers improve that sort of thing? Are there any calibration facilities for example to help with this?

I'm also interested in what sort of demand Epson's drivers these days place on your system. I'm looking to replace an HP PSC2575 that seems to have a knackered scanner (loads of white dots on photos despite cleaning the glass well etc) on it. I hate HP's drivers as they've always seemed extremely resource hungry.

One of the nice features the HP has is that it can scan multiple photos in one go. Can the Epson do that?

Lots of questions, but no answers in this review!

Can you please help? Recently purchased the Epson Stylus 515W and have successfully loaded it to laptop. However it will not print. Have heard mention that it could be something to do with having Windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated
