As you see below, the specs on this printer are awesome. The MSRP of $299 kept me away, even with the claims of cheap ink. Then last week I was in Sam's Club, and saw these printers for $99! So, I decided to go ahead and get one, which I did. It looked real pretty, and it printed one real pretty color 4x6, and copied one document. Then it went crazy, and I never got it to print again! I spent >8 hours studying, calling, downloading, etc. to try to fix it, but it was no use. If you go to amazon.com or many other sites that have real-people reviews, you'll find that the majority of these printers are like this one, and have some type of problem that makes them inoperable. I hope Sam's Club got them really cheap! Thankfully, they gave my money back, and I hope that I learned a lesson, again, that if it seems too good to be true - it probably is!!
