The trick when installing printer drives on Windows is to never use the installer from the manufacturer. First try Windows Update, it got loads of drivers. If that doesn't work try extracting the actual drivers from the software packages and install those only. They're just some tiny files I don't remember the extension of, usually in a directory with the name of your OS (it should be Vista or Win7) under another directory called driver or whatever they thought of. Now your printer will just work with no background services and crap.
If you bought a printer with fancy features though you may have fucked up.
Windows does a terrible job handling processors with more than four cores. If you feel the need to get a budget CPU from AMD, the 8-core bulldozer chip is handled better on Linux. The performance issue you are referring to is caused by Microsoft's scheduler not being optimized for the weird SMT layout that Bulldozer uses, and is a problem specific to that architecture. Specifically, it takes some smarter scheduling and programming to exploit the cache design and shared pipeline stages that the bulldozer 'cores' use, which is different to Intel's hyperthreading in that each Intel thread pair have more independent hardware. Your magic number of 4 is completely irrelevant to the issue other than it coinciding with the lower bound of 'cores' that bulldozer offers. What you should have said was Windows does a terrible job of handling Bulldozer CPUs (which may not be true for much longer as they patch it.

- Got it from my sister. The printer stopped working because the scanner got too dusty.
- Cleaned the scanner unit. Scanner and printer work again.
- Printed and copied happily about 10 times until black ink is empty.
- Replaced black ink -> "colour cartridge expired!"
- So what, all I need is a b/w copy.
- Scanner and printer don't work at all.
- Replaced colour cartridge -> "black cartridge expired!"
Replaced black ink -> "colour cartridge expired!" So what, all I need is a b/w copy.
I've got the same thing with an Epson Stylus Photo R800 at work. Someone gave it to me and now I know why. It has 8 cartridges and I have multiple replacements for most of them except for blue. I don't have any blue and so even though I only want to print in black & white, I can't because the printer won't work even though every cartridge except blue has ink.
Epson justifies this by saying that each ink cartridge actually puts out a small amount of ink no matter if you aren't printing that color. It does this to preserver the printer heads or some bullshit. I had the same issue and it was a matter of importance that i needed something printed. But no. I wrote them an email later pleading with them to stop making printers and close down the company for the good of the future.
Epson actually makes very good printers. Very, very good printers. This person may not be doing something right, because the R3000 I've use (8 primary cartridges + 1 for matte black) will continue to print so long as the print does not require any of whatever color is empty.
Also, you can buy just the blue cartridge.
The last Epson I owned (the last Epson I will ever own) did this little trick whereby, if you didn't use the printer for a while, it used up a large amount of ink cleaning or priming itself, or whatever. What that meant, in practical terms, is that you could run out of ink without actually using the ink. And if one of the color wells "ran out" (wink-wink) you couldn't use the black for black only printing. Fuck Epson.
In Thailand, printing shops generally use Epson, but mod the printer to use giant ink tanks hanging off the side.
You can buy the ink tank solution. I used a set on my Epson Artisan for over a year. They worked great, but the design was still flawed in that it always turned out to be very messy when I had to refill the tanks.
Now I'm using a set of refillable cartridges. Also messy. I guess the mess part is inevitable.
Both solutions have saved me a ton of money. I have a little software business and print DVDs and little glossy booklets to go with the discs.
The paper I use is "Hammermill Laser Gloss". It's glossy paper that's tons cheaper than the overpriced photo paper you're supposed to print photos on. Despite "laser" in the name of the product, it can be used on inkjets, and makes wonderful, professional looking brochures, booklets, etc. It just takes some playing with the print driver settings.
