Re: [APML] OT: Printer question



Scott,
  I have the Stylus Photo 925. Nice prints but as Steve Lindsay says, the cartridges do clog if they are not used on a regular basis. The Epson cartridges are somewhat cheaper in price than most, but I must warn you of something...The Epson printers install as a "removeable disk" and offer no option to enable DMA (direct memory access). This becomes a problem if you are using any kind of a video capture or video processing program as it substantially slows response time of that program. Why the printer uses the video card for anything is beyond me but it will interfere. I have a 64MB ATI Radeon card. If you are using anything short of 64MB, this could become a major problem, again, if you use video capture or video processing programs. Epson has no explanation for it. Just FYI. Good luck.
