I literally trashed this printer, and I'll never buy another Epson product. When I replaced the original black ink cartridge (with an Epson cartridge), I got an error message advising me to "Replace Cartridge". I called Epson support and they said that they knew of the issue that the printer sometimes doesn't recognize a new cartridge, so they shipped me a replacement that did work. However, when this replacement went dry, and I bought another Epson cartridge, the printer wouldn't recognize that one either. Epson refused to replace the printer, but sent me another cartridge which failed to work. When it operated, I used the printer with my iMac, on which I run Parallels and a few Windows based programs. Although Excel spreadsheets printed as expected from the Windows side of my computer, some of the spreadsheets would print in a goofy manner from the Mac side. I junked the Epson Stylus C88+ printer and replaced it with an HP Deskjet 6988, which I love.
