The Epson Stylus R300 has given very good service for several years now.
Not had a single problem.  We always use Epson refills.  After wasting much
time with printer driver settings, my wife and I discovered that the truest
colours are achieved by just inserting the memory card into the printer
slot.  I think I saw something once that the JPG files were optimised for
Epson printers.  I have tried also printing some TIFF files from my D-LUX 2
but it took an hour to print a 4x6 print, and was barely distinguishable
from the JPG version.

Having recently joined the Leica Print group I thought I'd improve the
quality of my prints and print them out on decent paper using an Epson
1280.  The reason I originally gave up on the darn thing was constant
clogs.  Well, I tried.  New cartridges, lots of cleaning....and the darn
thing still clogs.  So I'm in the hole about $100--and frustrated and
still using the local Costco.

I'm curious what printer LUG members are using.  Decent quality, no
CLOGS.  If I get a strong recommendation I might try one more time.
Otherwise it's the online providers for me.
