Horray, horray, horray!!!

I have a working printer! I am smarter (if marginally) than a print driver!!!

The downside to what I had to do is that I lost ALL of my very carefully set-up profiles for all the different kinds of paper I use. *cries* And the driver to the 4000, but I shall have to set that up again from scratch when the new one gets here anyway.

My 4000, after a remarkably brief and helpful phonecall to Epson, is in Anchorage. No particular ETA for getting here. Not like anyone's in a hurry, or anything... *rollseyes*

I have to confess, the level of technical support that you get for having purchased one of Epson's top-end models is worth some of the exhorbitant price you pay - I get a customer ID number and a toll-free number that connects me DIRECTLY to someone who actually knows what they're doing and saying, and I spend very little time farting around through menus or talking to sales reps. Very refreshing.

Now I have several back orders to fill... so I'm off! Darn me and my pessimism for not bringing all the print files I'll need...

Woot!

I'm guessing that you know fall into the "business customer" realm with your uber-fancy printer. And most companies treat their business customer with a great deal more consideration than us private peons.

For example, a friend of mine is a network engineer, and while he concedes that Microsoft is the Evil Empire, his experience has been that they are much MUCH more responsive and helpful to their corporate clients.
