Maybe - just maybe - because it is Off Topic for starters Frank. :-)
Another more substantive possibility might be that it really is not a photo
printer as much as a printer for fine arts work in the sense that its
pigmented inks do not have the gamut of the OEM dye based inks which may be
more in the range of what those who are into film scanning are looking for.
That is not to say that the 2000p is not a good printer or that it doesn't
produce good prints; it is more to say that it does not produce the sorts of
prints that many on this list may be looking for.
Still another relevant reason might be something as simple as the price
which might keep some from being interested in purchasing the printer or
keep them from actually buying it. In short, I would suspect that many of
the same reasons we hear little about the Epson 9500, 7500, or the Roland
printers would apply. Price and appropriateness to the majority of user
base on this list are two major reasons.

I have been through so many cartridges on my Epson 2000P that I've lost
count. The images have been rock solid and consistent from the day I bought
it to the present. I calibrated it once soon after I got it and that has
been that. Why is it that we hardly hear anything of this amazing printer on
this list?
