Good functional printer 
I bought this as a replacement for my uncle who is 88 and still plugging away. This does not work well in OS9 so it helped him migrate to OS X and finally to his new(er) eMac. With file conversion we got the last of his OS9 files translated and now he prints his work with this printer. It does not have the superfast “ink saver” that his last HP had but the colors are much better.
Epson C88+ printer 
Gives beautiful prints but the ink cartridges are small. Especially the black, which is the workhorse of any printer. I went through a black cartridge in about two weeks. The Photos are clear and color-accurate, and can be borderless. The pics of our cat showed every hair as clear as a bell(she’s black). I’ve always used Epson printers, and hope I get the same results from this one.
Mine lasted 5 years!
I’ve had an Epson C88 for maybe 4 or five years and never had a problem with it. I’m a graphic artist and this printer gave me good enough quality printouts to show my customers color designs without feeling like it was printed on a cheap printer. Also 4″ x 6″ photo prints look great! (use good paper throughout for best results) The only thing was the price of the ink. Too expensive! So I installed a CIS kit (continuous ink system) on the C88 and it worked just fine. Well anyway the printer finally died. It actually sent me a message that the printer had lived out it’s life cycle. I think it means that the sponges, cleaning system or print-heads are kaput. I tried everything to get it back to work but to no avail. Don’t think about repairing when you can buy a new one for about $80 bucks and it comes with ink. Where I live inks cost around $60. I bought another epson C88 thru Amazon and got it in 2 days (with free shipping). Hooked up my CIS onto the new one and in 20 minutes I was hitting that print button. Maybe I’m one of the lucky ones but I was very happy with my old C88, it lasted a long time with no problems. I hope this new one works just as well.
epson:creating for failure? 
i have had a c84 and c86 and tho i love the printer when it is working, they seem to consistently become inoperable by at most year but often in less time! my last printer i had hardly used and it failed. They wanted me to send it somewhere in yonkers but sorry for me if they cant fix it! that is unacceptable to me, it seems a scam to insure purchasing - i am now looking into other kinds of printers.
Already having printing problems after 3 days.
I’m already having printing problems with the Epson c88+ purchased through Amazon after only having used it for three days. It prints as if it already needs cleaning; and it continually has a problem pulling the paper through. Another minor detail, but a hassle to work with, is that the paper support backer keeps falling out.
