I talked in person to an Epson regional rep when she was visiting 
Nashua NH late last year.  She said that she has heard from LOTS of 
people who do black and white printing who think that with a few 
minor tweaks to correct its shortcomings the 2200 could be/could have 
been a good BW printer.   She said she always passes these comments 
on to Epson of America but she never gets any feedback.   She said 
it's a very big company.   Our conversation was taking place just as 
HP was introducing its 8-color system and she indicated concern that 
if HP came out with a 13" version it could be a problem for them.

It sounds a like a typical company where the little people in the 
trenches know more about what's going on than the suits in the corner 
office.
