Problems with print driver

 

Problems with print driver

This scanner is fast and scans well when it works. Problem is I have to reinstall the drivers every time I use it. However, the last time I went to use it even installing the drivers wouldn't start it. Real frustrating.

looks just like a piece of cardboard

I thought that this paper would be similar to the matte finish at local photo places, but it looks and prints just like a piece of cardboard. Very disappointed

Epson Perfection 2480 Limited Edition Photo Flatbed Scanner with Feeder (B11B172171)

 

Love Epson scanners

I've upgraded over the years and have always bought Epson. I helped folks out with Canon and HP scanners and always come away feeling the Epson was a faster and more user friendly device for less money.

Terrible Product

 

Terrible Product

I thought I was getting matte photo paper. Inside was the equivalent of large index cards with no "matte" finish on them. I thought it was my fault and so I kept trying to print a good matte photo with my new Canon printer but they were flat and dull.
