Oh, now doubt.  I just bought a shiny new all-in-one
printer/fax/scanner/copier, with a maximum print resolution of
4800x2400 dip, maximum (hardware) scanner resolution of 1200x2400 dpi,
capable of handling 13"x19" paper and scanning 11.7x17"... for $149.99.

At the same time, I bought a set of high-capacity cartridges (it takes
four cartridges)...  for $127.00

Not much question where Epson makes its money...
