When I searched for Epson ET M 1120 I got a suggestion that I may have meant "M1120" instead of the last two search terms, and hits for the "Epson EcoTank ET M1120" and/or "Epson EcoTank M1120", which look to be different names for the same model and to be a fairly clear match. While, yes, specifying the exact name clearly would be preferable, this is far from unreasonably difficult to figure out. >> > * Specifying the connection method. USB.

The OP's message was itself a reply, as can be seen by looking at its headers (In-Reply-To: and References:), but was otherwise presented as if it had been the start of a new thread; that is not fine, because it hides the "new thread" inside of the existing one, at least for anyone using a threaded view of the list of messages. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
