Agreed! I've been using two R2400s on XP pro and on Vista64, and have no
problems on either OS. The R2400 works perfectly - by far the best printer I
have had to date. Luckily I'm still using CS2 so I didn't experience the CS3
printing problems. I read of lots of people having problems printing from
LR, but for me it works fine.

Most of these problems are specific to the Mac O/S. I've been using Epson
professinal printers for years on Windows operating systems and apart from
the print centering issue in the first release of CS3 (which was an Adobe
problem fixed with 10.0.1) I have had no issues, starting from Windows 98
(2nd edition) and the Epson 4000, through Windows XP SP2 and the Epson 4800
and 3800. The Epson driver U.I. for Windows is compact and easy to use.
Settings stick to where one put them, and the prints come out as expected
(with appropriate colour management). With CS3 10.0.1 the interface between
the PS Print Module and the Epson driver is orderly, well-behaved and pretty
seamless. There was no need to change drivers with an ink switch on the
4800, and with the 3800 swithcing between PK and MK is almost a non-issue. I
have no personal experience using a 9600 on a Windows O/S, but I have not
seen or heard of the kind of complaints with Windows which Edmund
and before him others have raised concerning this printer (or the 7600) in
the O/S X environment. I don't intend to start a Mac vs. PC thing here -
that's absolutely not the intention, but it is an observation that in this
particular instance the O/S has much to do with the issues. I can't
understand why between Apple and Epson for so many years these problems have
not been resolved - they sure know about them, but there we are.
