I just bought an 880 at a neighborhood thrift store (which BTW is a
good source for inkjet printers. Given that it would cost about $15.00
to ship ANY printer from ebay, I suggest everyone check their thrift
stores first, as I have seen them as cheap as $7.00 each)

I feel that ANY epson inkjet will probably work, and any used print is
likely to have problems, which I just buy the cheapest printer. Older
printers generally tend to be easier to hack apart, as well.
