Kip, 

I'm amazed that you feel this way. Epson is the slowest changing, most
stable of all the printer manufacturers. Have you ever looked at Canon
or HP? They both keep a model in the lineup for about a year. Epson
seems to get about 3 years out of a model.

That's one of the biggest reasons that the GIMP print team focuses so
heavily on Epsons, because of Epson stability.
