How is the epson stylus photo R200 printer performance wise? Found good deal, maybe??? -

Is it outdated? Is the print quality and speed good? New in the box for $26.00, giving as a gift to someone who weekly gets prints from the drug store. Have to pick up in 2 hrs.

Well...maybe this response is too late, but for your assurance, the R200 is not a bad scanner. It might be more cost effective to get a new Epson. Even though it s about 3 years old it still prints a better picture on Epson photo paper than current HP models. The only caveat is that you ll probably need to get all new ink cartridges for your $26 printer. For some reason Epson inks have a shelf life...I don t know if other manufacturers do the same. New Espon inks for the R200 will run you about $65 so you ll be out about $100.
