I believe this model (which appears on the hardware
list Mark Dodel linked to) is the same one a relative
had. Quite fast, good quality, had both Par. *and*
USB connections. I don't think it was a Winprinter.
She recently replaced it with a later (9 series ?)
Pixma model -- I don't know why or know much about the
replacement. Epson had sort of owned the photo
printer market, but I think the Canon 860 was a
reasonable alternative.

This I tend to doubt. My recollection is that this is
a 6 ink-cartridge design, and she complained about the
frequency of cartridge replacement and the cost. (My
relative is an artist, and goes through more ink and
paper than is likely typical.) Of course, this could
be debateable: the relative cost of just replacing a
blue or a cyan tank, vs. having to toss a whole
3-in-one or 4-in-one color tank on an older Epson
(like mine, which are much older than the C8x series,
and use non-chipped cartridges), just because *one* of
the constituent colors got used up.
