No, the 1160 is not obsolete, though apparently no longer available in

http://www.epson.co.uk/product/printers/inkjet/stycol1160/index.htm

It is still listed for the UK under 'Home/Office' products, although not
under photo printers, and still in the shops here. And I've got two
working here as I type (one for black and white and the other for colour.)
