I used to have an Epson Stylus Photo EX, which was the wide-carriage
version of the Stylus Photo. I never had any problems pulling an ink
cartridge out of it and putting it back, especially since it used the
"dumb" cartridges (the ones without a chip). I eventually sent it back
to Epson Recycling and got a $5 coupon from Epson for my efforts.

Epson Stylus Photo, that's all. No other names or numbers. It's so

not on the support list anymore. The newest driver is for Windows 98.
Even
when it was new, some retailers didn't know about it. It was actually
the
top model at one stage. I admit to not having used it much. When I got
it,
photo realistic paper was app. 1,25 USD for every A4 sheet. One set of
ink
cartrigdes was almost 100 USD. So, most of the time it was just
sitting on
the desk and occasionally used for B&W prints. A shame, really. Now
it's
useless. It represents the worst 700 USD I ever spent. This money
would have
been better spent on a one week holiday in Greece! Or a used MZ-S with
a
battery grip! Or ...
Maybe I will consider getting a Canon.
