richard, i have had IP and stoped using it. the epson drivers are now as
good if not better with the right profile all is well, you can do home made
profiles and buy the service.

the hp and the new epson with the options of making icc, is the tops. i
rather pay the extra money for that rthan than IP. I use qimage to print on
a pc.
