--Uhh huh lets see my Epson 870 is still printing out photos alongI'm sorry, but Epson will never get close to HP on reliability and
quality. Epson may have other better qualities, but reliability is
not one of them...
with my 1280,785 and C80 and it was purchased over 2 years ago.
HP's are sheist these days maybe not the design jets so highly
touted by fotografer but I've had a 990 break 2x already in our
copy department and it broke enough that we needed to swap it out
(this is our third 990). While its not the top of the line HP its
still a flag ship deskjet as far as speed goes in the eyes of the
consumer. I've had a 940 that seems to do very well and that we
kept in the department but the 990 either misaligns WHILE printing
(even after a calibration) and the skew of the page due to the
motor was visible enough that made my clients complain. We now have
a 785EPX since we offer printing of photos from digital cameras and
the 940 is our side printer if we need to do business cards or what
not.

I'm sure that 90% of the people who read this know that you're just--
I would think so, they always have in the past. Now for a bit of
sarcasm. You must obviously be mistaken about the output from the
1215 being stunning. According to Epson fanatics, a 3 year old
with a crayon can produce better output. Also, the reason Epsons
sometimes clogs is because HP won't license their anti-clogging
technology to Epson. Same reason they use as to why the Epson 2200
doesn't include the CD printing option. Epson fanantics claim that
only HP is allowed to print on CDs in the US. And as far as extra
ink in the Epson cartridges when the monitor claims it's empty is
due to HP requiring Espon to falsely report empty ink cartridges so
HP users can say something bad about Epson.
spouting off rediculous (but entertaining) lies, but for the 10%
who might not know this, let me assure you that every element of
the above message is false. Also, it's been my observation that the
majority of 'bad' messages on this forum seem to be Epson users
trying to 'say something bad' about HP users, not the reverse as
you claim - and your message is a perfect example of this. Thanks
for making this more clear to everyone.
Isn't it odd that there does not seem to be this kind of fervor
over camera brands. Seen lots of Oly folks say nice things about
Nikon. FinePix folks like Minolta. Even Leica folks tolerate
Sony. DigiSLR folks see a place for other digicams. Huh? What
makes printers such a hot topic?

Even 882 is shewing?? What is wrong with HP consumer printers
nowadays??
One trouble-shooting question, that is if you are still using 882
for some reason, when you say skew, do you mean the printer print
'straight' according to the edge of the paper and at a certain
point suddenly the second half or something print to the right or
to the left from the edge of the paper?
If it's a gradual skew, that is, the picture edge is not parallel
to the edge of the paper, then the feeding guide at the input paper
tray needs to be pushed to the right a little more, touching the
paper edge snugly (but papers must still be flat to the bottom of
the tray.
Don't just slot in one piece of paper, even if you are printing
only one. If you are printing on photopaper or thick textured
paper, then put at least 5 of the same type and size underneath,
then the pick up would be better and the paper will transport
parallel to the paper edge, solving the gradual skewing problem.
BUT if it's not the case, then something is really wrong with the
882 mechanism, and must be returned for another unit (free if still
under warranty).
