About the same amount that Leica pays all of us when a defect forces us to
return a camera or lens to Leica - for weeks on end.

At least when a Epson printer fails, Epson ships a new printer out
immediately, and Epson then waits for the return of the old one. ;-)

How much did Epson pay you for the time the defective Epson product cost
you?

> I had problems with my first Epson 2000P as well. The printer I
ordered from Adorama was DOA. I called Epson, and they told me that I
was probably doing something wrong. They gave me a list of insultingly
moronic suggestions (is it plugged in? did you install the ink
cartridges?). I went back and forth with them for over a week when they
told me that they would swap it out for a faculty refurbished printer.
If I wanted a new one to replace my new one, I would have to get it from
Adorama. I called Adorama, who told me that I passed the brief return
period (they start counting days from the day you order it, not the day
you get it. It took over a week to deliver the printer to me, Epson
futzed with me for a week, so my return period was over. I finally took
it to a local electronics servicing firm doing Epson work, they sent it
back to Epson, and Epson sent me a factory refurbished printer. Neat,
huh?
