Feel free to correct or trash me on this - but the impression on get is that
people trying to do serious photo work with digital printers chose Epson -
folks who want to download from their digital P&Ss to paper chose HP or
Canon...but if I wanted a heavy duty printer for churning out documents, I'd
sure go for some kind of HP laser....go figure...

Thank you, Carl.

I seem to be getting good input about Epson.  I find this very
interesting as HP also has a "Name" in printer technology, but I am not
getting any input about their printers.
