Digital BW, The Print

FWIW, I've bought a number of the refurb C88s from Epson over the past 
few years, and except for the plain brown box they came in I don't 
believe there was anything "missing" as compared to a new unit.  They 
all had manuals (quick start and full) and a software disk and power 
cords, plus a set of Epson brand ink cartridges that were worth as much 
alone as the price of the printer.  An 1800 obviously won't be quite 
that great a bargain, but I'd be surprised if there were anything 
missing except the printed outer box.

Cheers,
Kip
