There is a class action lawsuit against Epson that was settled. If you purchased a qualifying Epson printer from April 8, 1999 to May 8, 2006 , register to receive a $45 ecoupon for Epson's estore. There is an alternative to receive a $25 check and $20 estore coupon but you must file the claim form.

Hey, where is the production code? I just looked where the website said to look and I see no big long number on the back, excluding the serial number.

hmm..i looked on the back of mine and it was right there. try lookin on the bottom?

Is it on a sticker and is it longer than like 7 characters? If so I don't think mine has one and that could be a pain in the ass.

mine was very long on a sticker i think. started with a C and had about 20-25 characters.

thanks for the heads-up on this

epson makes some of the best printers out there, but yes, they do eat up ink like no other.

Uh, what? Granted, I've always gotten the cheapest model, but they totally suck.

i've never had any problems with epson printers and i've pretty much used them my whole life. the only exception is the ink thing though when u need color and black installed for the printer to work.

Yeah, I guess that's what I'm talking about. Like, I never use color. I have it set up to print only in black and white because the majority of what I print is just pages of text. Yet my color tank empties at almost the same rate. Don't tell me that's all from print head cleaning.
