If you are talking specifically about the Epson Stylus photo R200, I
rather like it. 6 ink colors and the ability to print on CD's or DVD's.
The only downside is the ink use and I have gone to generic inks and
also, much of the time, just refill the cartridges for pennies. You
do have to buy a small electronic gadget that resets the "ink
remaining" for each cartridge, but that usually comes with any refill kit.
For scanning software I just use the import function in a 4-year-old
version of Photoshop Elements 2. Works just fine with the TWAIN
interface and my equally old CanoScan D 1230U which works just fine
on prints, artwork, negatives, transparencies, whatever.
I recently bought one of those $99.00 Kodak multi-function
scanner/copier/printer units but haven't put it into serious use
yet. Their claim to fame is the use of pigmented ink and supposedly
overall lower ink cost- something I can't verify just yet. (Their
software is a bit hard to install, sometimes taking several tries,
even after reading the instructions, but I did get it installed once).
