    Horrible Horrible Printer. Please do not buy. Doesn't print on time. The queue is impossible to clear. When turned on, it ends up printing some old jobs. Such a waste of $400. Even the print quality for color is average at best (Black and white is fine).

    Works great and produces great prints, BUT the glass from the copier is flimsy. Set it down on the floor and the glass inside shattered. And mind you i was very careful while placing it down. Going to have to send it off and hopefully get it fixed.

    Doesn't do labels or any sort of "heavy" paper. I called Epson and they just said "it's a product limitation". The guy at Best Buy assured me it was a "do everything" printer. Sucks. And they won't take it back. Goodbye Best Buy. You won't be seeing me no more.

    I've had lots of problems with the connection of this Printer to my new Computer. I have had to make several trips to the Geek Squad to get things to print. I am now getting an error message each time I print, and I have to allow the Printer to fix the problem. NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I PAID!

    Great little printer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So far, I’m about a month in on this printer and it’s been great. Setup was pretty much plug-and-play. We have no problem printing from the pc, iPad, or cell phones. It does all that my previous printer did, but in a smaller footprint. Only time will tell on longevity and ink usage, but so far so good. Very.happy with my purchase.
