Bee,

Not true!  The 1280 is the American version and the 1290 the European
version, and they have differences mainly because of the different paper
sizes in America and Europe. Because these printers print right to the edge
on certain standard paper sizes, they have to have extra pads to catch the
overspray (otherwise it would spray onto the black plastic strip across the
innards which the paper slides over and then get onto the back of your
paper). So the pads are in different places in each printer to cope with the
different standard paper sizes in America and Europe and the drivers
therefore have to have slightly different software as well.

The 1280 and 1290 are the exact same thing; different names in different
areas, that's all.
