If I want to get fancy, I could use another program, but, so far, I haven't found anything it wouldn't do. It has a clean interface and works for just about everything I want it to do. But the main program, Epson PrintCD is really nice. I'm fairly impressed with the printer, though the software packs a whole lot of utilities that I didn't really want and couldn't find a way to opt out of. HP DVD-R 4.7GB 16x Inkjet-Printable 100 Spindle (DMJPW045) Like others I only use this printer for printing DVD and CD labels on If you're into cool electronic gadgets that require regular troubleshooting (like most Windows users), this is your printer! The R280 is by far the BEST VALUE for a home-use CD/DVD print system I have found, assuming you can get it to work. There's no reason to think that the unit won't flip out again, but if the system reset works reliably, then I would say this is worth it. I called Epson support (the number for R280 support is in the back of the manual) and they had me unplug, restore the trays to normal printing position, then plug in and hold down the Power and Paper Out buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds to power on. Fool me once! So I read through the manual, tried various fixes, nothing worked. Then it said another cartridge was empty. The software said my new ink cartrige was empty, and wouldn't relent until I actually broke out a new cartridge. The ink cartridge carriage whizzed around and sounded like it was printing on nothing. I got this unit set up, printed a test page, a very good photo, and 3 very good DVDs using the included Epson Print CD software, then the next time I powered on all 3 panel lights started flashing.
