On other lists, various ways of buying the Office Depot Epson C84 printer 
have been described.  FWIW, good luck.  At the most, up to $90 off retail price.

1. buying online - $20 off immediately through OD online discount, Referral 
ID/Coupon code: 32451881.  Unfortunately, often out of stock response.  Offer 
good through 6/30/04.  Free shipping with orders over $75.
2. go to store - go to customer service desk where you can order online - try to 
buy it and if out of stock, ask store manager nicely if they will honor the online 
discount and you buy it off their shelf.  I was able to order online, but I had 
also spoken to my local store and they would have done this for me. 
3. get the store to print out copies of their OD $50 rebate off any photo or all-
in-one printer.  Various store managers have disputed this.  It will be honored, 
according to a phone call I made to the Express Rebate center.  Officially the 
Epson C84 is eligible for the $50 rebate.  The number to the Express Rebate 
Center is 1-800-962-4664 if you would like to varify the info I have just given 
you.  You will need the offer number OD1600009 and the SKU # 158815 to 
give them.  They've gotten lots of calls on this.  Include this info when filling 
out the form.  Offer good through 6/19/04.
4. also get the Epson rebate for $20 to fill and submit - offer good through 9/
30/04.  Rebate form available on the Epson website.

In California, with sales tax, it'll cost me $14 or so.  In Oregon, with no sales 
tax, an even better bargain.  Hope this works out for you, but please, take this 
as far as you can.  Buyer Beware, read all the fine print.  I'm sorry but I'll be 
leaving for out of town and won't/can't answer any questions.  This newb 
appreciates all the great info learned on this list.
