Thanks so far to everyone who answered. I think it will be easier to
get a 7600 in good shape than a 7500 which seem to be very rare here
in Germany. The new 7600 is about 3500Euro here, I should be able to
get a
good used one for 2500 maybe. Unfortunately "refurbed" items are not
common here in Germany. 

Your all-in-one printer sounds, great, color, b&w, Glop etc, but I
am afraid I cannot afford it neither do I have the space. 

The remark with the 4000 being too large was in respect to the size of
the much smaller 2100 and the DJ90. The Epson 4000 is a monster, but
if I let a monster live in my place, I want it to spit out really big
paper,
not only 17" wide. The difference from 13" (Epson) to 17" is not
enough to justify the bigger size of the machine. In this case the
logical step will be the 7600. 

Probably, as always, with some patience I will find one that will be
ok and not too expensive.

Thanks again,
