    ET 5170 is hands down the worst printer I have ever owned. Despite downloading and reinstalling drivers 4 times, contacting both Epson and BestBuys, it was never effective. I would like to prevent others from my $633.00 mistake. I now have 180 colored page count and 56 B/W page count usage after over 2 years. Just please be aware. The warranty that I purchased never helped me. Best with any others

    It's a nice printer if you do basic art home printing. It has its limitations. The color printing is very clear. I'm returning it for the more business ready printer.

    I purchased in April and returned August to Bestbuy. After being on the phone with Epson, Total Tech and a visit to store, I learned that there was a hardware issue with printer. It jams constantly! We kept getting the same error message was eventually was not fixable. It is a nice compact size. We had to reset the cloud scan option multiple times.

    I had to return this printer. I spent two hours on two different days talking to Epson. Printer took forever to print any color document. I have a ET-4850 which I have worn out and wanted to replace. I don’t know if this one was just a lemon or if this particular model won’t work with my computer for some reason.
