 Worst printer I have owned November 14, 2008
web man
This is my third Epson printer. I dearly loved my others. The CX8400 is the worst piece of junk printer I have owned. Epson has already replaced this for me once on warranty and the second is no better. The biggest problem is the paper loading and feed. You have to stand directly over the paper feed to load the paper to be sure it gets into the slot. Then it generally pulls the paper on a slight skew. Every time I print labels it smudges the bottom of the page with black ink.
I have all new cartridges inst5alled and without using more than 1% of the color the software show the ink levels at 10% Either the software is not working or ink is dripping out of the cartridges into the printer. Since support is with people who cannot understand what you are telling themand just read back a script, calling support is very frustrating.

refuses to recognise epson ink cartridges October 25, 2008
R. Coles (NY, USA)
An awful product, it drinks ink, and then even though I replaced with genuine epson cartridges it refused to recognise them...
 Great, Have been using for over a year October 19, 2008
Angela la (Michigan)
I have been using this printer for a bit over a year and think it is just fine. I use it on a regular basis as I am a college student and have only replaced the ink one time. I generally just print in draft mode or in B&W. Also, it is vista compatible. I have vista on my computer and have been using this printer since I got the computer. The only problem I have ever is that it is a bit finnicky about paper loading which can be annoying when in a hurry. Other than that no complaints though. We actually have three different epsons in our home now. We have two of this model and one of the upgrade and are very happy.
 DOA October 12, 2008
T. Martin (Greenville, SC USA)
I received the Stylus CX8400 DOA with scanner error. If it was something I did to cause it then I'm sure the printer is great, but all I did was install the ink and then I got the error.
 Excellent Print Quality but yes, it does drink ink October 6, 2008

The Good: Print Quality!
I have been very surprised and impressed with the photo print quality of this printer. If you use the proper paper, you really CAN get lab-comparable results! I dabble in some photography and belong to some clubs here and there, some of which have ongoing competitions. Now don't get me wrong here, these are some VERY picky clubs indeed as far as scrutinizing EVERYTHING about photos entered in competitions - from the photo composition and such right down to the presentation as a whole so yes, print quality counts - a LOT. Normally I send off things to some specialty photo print houses online when there is something I want to enter - at worst maybe I'll use Ritz Camera (which is not a bad place, just not quite as high end as some out there). Well, one time I wanted to put something in and had been neglectful and not gotten a print order in to anyplace. With just a few hours to go, I decided to try out this printer's quality level - Well, bottom line is that I actually won a 1st prize for a category - With a photo printed on this printer! I was SO surprised at how good the quality is!
The Bad: Ink Usage
Okay, now the bad - As others have said, it does drink ink. HOWEVER, nowheres near as badly as just about any Lexmark printer I have ever known. And unlike Lexmark printer ink, the cartridge prices really aren't so bad. If you buy them in a store like Best Buy then they will run you about $15 each which is starting to get up there a bit. But if you do go ahead and buy from Epson then they are only like $11 and $12 each. I have not kept count of exactly how many prints I get per cartridge but again, its definitely more than any Lexmark I've ever known. I'd probably put it comparable to many HP printers I've known. And of course, few will ever beat Canon for ink usage so theres just no comparison there.
The Mediocre: Ease of Use
Epson software does not beat out Canon software for quality and usability. There are many features seemingly built in to all Canon printing software that are either glaringly absent or possibly just not yet found by me (which also would give demerits in the usability catagory even if that is the case - you need to be able to quickly and easily find what you are looking for) An example is that I've not yet found a software based function to print multiple photos on a page and arrange them in any way you want them.
This being said though, installation was a breeze - In a not quite top line installation situation - I'd installed on one computer using the factory supplied disks - Then I wanted to install on a laptop. I didn't feel like searching out where I'd put the disks so thought I'd attempt a plug and play and see what would happen - Windows found the software online immediately and Epson downloaded and installed all drivers and software via Windows plug and play within minutes! I've never seen such an install go so quickly or so smoothly! I thought it likely it would just be the basic drivers but no, it actually turned out to be everything on the factory supplied disk!
Summary:
I am generally willing to spend a bit more on printing materials than are many people, especially if I can get needed quality right at home so overall, even with the tendency of this printer to go through ink quickly, I've not been terribly disturbed by that. As with most anything you buy, its all a trade-off somewhere - even if one's tradeoff is just in an initial purchase price. Most things really do end up costing about the same when you add in every aspect of them, including your time and effort. So bearing that in mind, yes, I would highly recommend this printer to someone looking for a good, easy-ish to use printer with a really good quality photo print ability.
