All is good

It's difficult to do a review on this printer since I can't use it anymore and can't tell you about all the great options it's supposed to have but I will try. Wireless connectivity is unpredictable . I'm always having to go into the menu which is very tedious and reconnect and has nothing to do with my router or my modem because everything else on my network connects just fine. The print quality is questionable seems no matter how clean the inkjets are I always get streaks and error messages. This happens no matter what brand of ink I use. So, I stopped buying the expensive Epson brand if I'm going to get poor quality. The noise level well that's something you're going to have to get used to and it's very slow making the noise level last a long time however;This WAS a fantastic piece of machinery until Epson got greedy and decided to send out an update to the firmware making the printer unusable if you do not use EPSON brand cartridges ONLY. That's great except that those tiny ink cartridges don't last more than a few weeks and come with a very huge price tag not everybody can afford them. I'm nowhere near rich; it takes me a ridiculous amount of time to save money. I swear I printed about three or four documents average quality prints and already it was prompting me to buy more of their exclusive ink cartridges. Not to mention all the copies that came out with poor quality. (three). Even the black color is ridiculously priced. But EPSON knows that. Makes me regret getting an Epson. That's two printers that I have that I can't use because of their clever upgrade. A complete waste of money that I don't have. I positively can't stand this company anymore. Why not send out a firmware update so we have to use exorbitantly priced paper made of birch trees in the paper tray too? There's absolutely nothing I can do to make this printer work or be useful except to sell it, but nobody wants Epson because they're not a budget-friendly company. Buy their proprietary garbage only and you'll be fine (and broke). - Try to use affordable third-party ink cartridges and end up having a printer that does nothing except collect dust and make you regret ever spending any money on them ever again. Great job!By the way there's lots of redundant software on this printer that you'll never use, it makes it very confusing while trying to navigate through the menu as you read all the error messages. I'd suggest any other printer just not EPSON. Unless you like error messages. Glad I could help!

Epson produces great inkjet printers/scanners, but they are not in the business of selling good printers. They are in the business of selling ink at obscene profit margins.ADVICE: Never, ever upgrade Epson firmware, which invariably rejects non-Epson cartridges. They say they don't work as well, but they lie.WARNING: Never press "Dismiss" when you get a firmware upgrade, which you get every time you turn the machine on. If you read the small print, it says pressing" dismiss" immediately installs the firmware upgrade.

I really like this printer. I highly recommend it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very Happy Easy set-upWorks well!

Good Stuff

Update 10/28/24 -I have now called Epson 4 different times, emailed technical support 5 different times total. They continue to refuse to help me whatsoever. All they do is send you links to different parts of their website "allow you" to ask yet again for them to re-open the question for help. You would think after sending 5 different emails, and calling 4 times you would get the support you need. NOPE NOT WITH EPSON! NEVER BUY AN EPSON PRODUCT. I NOW NEED TO RETURN THIS TO AMAZON, BUT I ALREADY SPENT $60 IN INK CARTRIDGES FROM AMAZON WHICH CANON CLAIMED I WAS USING 3RD PARTY INK, SO I SENT THEM THE RECEIPT FROM AMAZON SHOWING IT WAS $60 EPSON 232 INK FOR MY PRINTER THAT DOES NOT WORK!!! STAY FAR AWAY FROM EPSON. THEY REFUSE TO HELP WHEN YOU TRULY NEED IT. WASTE OF OVER $120 BETWEEN THE INK AND THE PRINTER. NOW ON TO WRITING THE BETTWE BUSINESS BUREAU AND FTC.They claim to NOT support Mac OS 15 so they were no help there but I found the drivers on their site after a few hours for 15. Set up took 2+ hours. They don’t describe the drivers/software to download and you have to download a few to try them more till you figure it out. Then I printed 1 single black draft of a size 22 font address/shipping label (just one not many) and my black ink is already low. They do this so you have to buy more ink over and over again. I’d buy any other brand/model. I’ll give them one chance before I send it back for a refund.
