[QUOTE="krs, post: 1842466, member: 67742"] Thanks for the detailed comments. The Brother replacement that came up was the 6720 and 6920, but those are 7 years old as well. One review about the 6920 I didn't like: But I don't know if that is actually true. The replacement for the 6920 is the 6930, but that one is over $100 more than the Epson and the print size and scan bed is smaller. I bought some 13 x 19 inch photo paper so that I can print some posters myself if need be - strange that only Epson (and I thought maybe HP) makes a consumer printer than can handle that size. I bought a Brother printer once - worked fine for normal paper, but heavier paper always got stuck because of the paper path - too tight of a 180 degree turn with the paper feed tray and the exit tray both at the front. BTW - I have the Epson WF-7720 now, but I'm always looking for my next one. I use the printer a lot so they only last maybe 5 years. The most annoying thing about this Epson is the printer software. I use the drivers and scanner software that comes with the Mac, that works fine, but for some reason Epson has built software into that printer where one has to select certain parameters like paper size - if the paper size I chose in the print menu on the Mac doesn't match the paper size selected at the printer, it won't print. I have to go to the printer to change the paper size which is just an unnecessary step. This printer replaces an Epson WF-7520, the previous model, which didn't have this issue. I find that more and more in general - people who specify a software design or who actually write the software, seem to never use it. [/QUOTE]
