  Anyone have comments on this printer? I just looked it up and its MSRP is 400 bucks! didn't expect to get something so valuable. it also has Firewire which is cool. How well does connecting a printer via Firewire work? Are all the features supported?
  

  
  

  
  
  I have an R300 and absolutely love it!
  
  
  
  Epson is at the top of its game right now- their printers kick @$$!

  It's supposed to be as good if not better than the 2200 but I'm having a hard time getting the color to match my monitor. I've profiled my monitor but I still can't get that perfect match with my lcd. The R800 has slight magenta overtones as well. All-in-all, I'm not that satisfied with this printer - not at $399.
  
  
  
  But for FREE, heck, what a bargain...

  I got an R800 about a month ago - it's fantastic, but for some reason I can't print on DVDs/CDs.
  
  I'm using printable media, but it errors out each time. I need to try other media maybe.
  
  
  
  Photo prints are amazing though.
