I have a new printer!!!!
So, a little over a month ago, I bought a printer. I decided that for once in my adult life, I wanted something other than an HP printer. I researched and decided on an Epson. I found an excellent price and I snapped it up. It has been sitting on my desk, taking up valuable real estate and mocking me for a little over a month. Setting up an HP usually requires a PhD in something I don't have and whine, er wine, lots of wine.
Tonight, knowing I have some forms I HAVE to print, I poured myself some wine and started the process. The first attempt failed but then, strangely, the wizard suggested I print an explanation for the failure. I did and the problem was explained in simple, straightforward English. Every thing about setting this printer up was easy and did I mention, straightforward?
Of course, I'm still waiting for the gotcha. After all, I did mention that I've only ever had HP printers, right*?
*YMMV, valid only in these continental United States, not to be construed as a diss on HP printers, yadda, yadda.
If you read this far, you are either an idiot or drinking wine. Like me.
PS It works, it works, it works!

Can we ass-ume that you'll be able to do that on your new printer now that you're drunk on the wine? 
Sorry, butt I couldn't resist. 
Congrats on getting the printer!
But it does tend to clog the heads more than the HP printers I have owned. HP ink cartridges generally include new heads, Epsons do not. And if you have one of the Epsons that use the Claria ink, watch out for using third party cartridges - that ink is highly 'engineered' and the printers don't like off brands.
For years all I bought were HP printers, but at the time I bought the Epson, their photo printing technology was superior to HP's. And this printer not only prints photos, it can print directly to printable CDs and DVDs, something I used a lot for a while. Now it's hard to find the printable discs. 
What model Epson did you get?
