It is difficult to set up and does not acknowledge wifi

Price is good for all it functions it has, easy to install and easy to use, but the cons i got is that to use all of its functions you must download the software rather than providing a Cd with the software and they also dont provide the cable for it, i only found out because i was seeing on the box that they didnt provide the cable.

this is a very nice printer. It's compact and fits on a small desk if neeeded. It was a little difficult to set up at first because my phone and the printer wouldn't communicate with each other. Once that issue was resolved, it connected fine. The screen looks like a touch screen but it isn't which is a little odd. The front panel flips out if you want or it can stay flat, which I like because it makes the printer look better. It can use legal or letter size paper. I haven't tried other sizes or envelopes yet. The quality is really nice. There are two things I don't like. This printer, when you set it up is very noisy. However, I was able to make it quiet by changing a setting. I think it should be quiet right out of the box. You can also use this printer with an assistant like Google or Siri. I haven't tried that feature yet but I did find out you have to have a seprate app for that feature. I'm not sure why they just couldn't include it in the main app that you download when you setup the printer. Maybe they will in the future. So far this printer has been a nice unit. I'm looking forward to exploring other features to see what it can do.

Having never owned or used an Epson printer before, I was quite interested in trying out Epson's XP-4200 All-In-One color printer. It turned out to be quite acceptable especially at this price point! The Epson XP-4200 was eady to set up and its software works well. I did have to move the printer closer to my internet router to get it to connect to my network but found I was able to move it back to my office once set up and it works very well there. The Epson print quality is quite clear and crisp and it does take a bit slower than other printers I have used. I also found the printer to be somewhat louder when printing than what I am used to. While the printer does not had a thumb drive to scan documents to, scans can be saved to your computer to file, print or attach to an email or text as needed. This printer provides borderless photo printing, Wi-Fi and voice activated printing and auto two-sided printing as needed. Paper for the printer is loaded vertically in a slot in the rear of the printer and ink cartridges are easily accessable for changing as needed. The printer can also be used as a copier. This is a fine printer for the money!

The Epson Expression Home XP-4200 is a good personal printer. The set up is very easy, with instructions included in the box and using the Epson Smart Panel app makes its fool proof. Before you get started though, make sure you choose the Epson Smart Panel app and not the Epson iPrint app, I made that mistake when going on the Play Store. The Smart Panel app is the current version and the iPrint is the old version. Wi-fi connection setup can be done either through the app or the control panel on the printer. Its a 3-in-1 so you're getting a Printer, Copier, and Scanner in a compact machine that doesn’t take up alot of desk space. The control panel is nice, with a screen that isn't small or hard to read and it uses actual buttons. It is an inkjet so be ready to buy some ink, the catridges are small so you'll get about 150pages before needing to reload, which is great for at-home workers or students, but that might be bad for anyone that prints alot. The print quality is great with no smudges or blurring. The only issue I have with the printer is that it doesn't come with a USB A to B cable to directly connect the printer to a PC, its a wireless printer so the cable isn’t necessary, but would be nice to have one just in case. Overall, I like the Epson Expression Home XP-4200, its a solid workhorse printer, that is great for personal use.

The Epson Expression Home XP-4200 All-in-One Inkjet Printer in black is a reliable and versatile device that seamlessly combines performance with sleek design. Its compact footprint makes it a perfect fit for any workspace, while the intuitive controls ensure user-friendly operation. With vibrant color reproduction and sharp text output, this printer consistently delivers high-quality prints. The wireless connectivity options add convenience, allowing for effortless printing from various devices. The XP-4200's efficient ink usage and easy setup make it an excellent choice for both home and small office use. Overall, it's a commendable all-in-one printer that excels in functionality and aesthetics.

I got this printer as a gift. Couldn't set it up because it wouldn't go beyond the ink installation. Told me over and over the black ink was empty. Bought a replacement and still had the issue. Might be a decent printer if you don't get this issue but, I don't even want to bother with a replacement. I returned it.

Love the printer. Works very well and it's not hard to use.

The printer/scanner is loaded with useful features such as being able to print when away from home via email, google classroom integration and sharing your printer with a friend/family member. The display on the printer is really sharp and clear , it could be a bit bigger but it works and the controls are responsive with very little lag. The scanned documents come out really nice and it captures a lot of the detail of what it is scanning. The app for the printer is also full of features , such as scanning documents directly to your phone/tablet. The amount of features that are included with the printer are amazing and if all of them were done correctly it would be one of the best personal printers. All of the features stated above are great and they work perfectly , however there are certain things that need to be fixed. Any pictures you print through the app print out grainy , speaking of photos not text, and it doesn’t matter what quality you state or which paper you use (I used Espon premium photo paper and normal white paper). However if you print the same picture without the app it comes out great, the colors are rich and very close to how the picture was actually taken. The printer/scanner works great and connects easily to any computer on the same Wi-Fi network and was a breeze to set up via Wi-Fi or by connecting it directly to the computer. I did run into an issue when setting it up on my phone through the app and the app kept saying it wasn’t connected but it actually was. Overall i think it does a great job at printing text and scanning documents which is what it is made for but the features that are included/provided need to be fixed with a software update.

I was hopeful that this printer would be more than what it is. In terms of simplicity of operation, I'd say it's good to have around home for occasional printing. It sets up easily with WiFi, and works great with a computer and with a tablet or phone. Scanner works great too and is easy to use while doing a good job. I do like that it has double sided printing capability and a rear feeding tray. Print quality is good and the speed is just okay unless you print black and then it's decent. Photos come out looking good but like other 3 ink systems they could be better depending on the photo. Based on my testing so far, most come out just fine. Keep in mind that Epson does recommend using Epson paper with the Claria ink for the best results. I didn't have any more Epson paper for all of my prints but they still turned out good on other photo paper. That said, this printer really is the bottom of the lineup printer and feels like it in how fast it is unfortunately. If all you need is something simple for occasional use this will do the job but beware of the ink! As I printed all the test prints I noticed that the ink levels went down fairly quick. That brings up the next point, there's a spot on the box, and Epson makes it clear you can only use genuine cartridges, so make sure you note that BEFORE you purchase this model. Simply going on Amazon and getting whatever cartridge you see comes up with the cartridge number will not fly with this printer, and it's clearly stated which is unfortunate because you have to dig to find the right ones just as with every other Epson cartridge. I like that Epson is making this clear and it's the only reason I'd rate it 2 stars, but it's also a negative for me, and I say that purely just comparing to other similar printers and the printouts you get, even Epson's own Eco Tank printers which they recommend if you want to use whatever ink you want. Don't get me wrong, it's overall a decent printer, I'd say 3-4 stars depending on how you use it (3 stars for photos and 4 stars for everyday use), but there are better options, even from Epson, so from that perspective I have to rate it two stars. It's unfortunate Epson does not provide options for ink for this printer so for that reason I think it falls behind all the others. You'd think with the extreme measures they take to stop you from using 3rd party ones they'd at least make it easier to use theirs with a subscription service or something like that but they do not. So, I honestly don't see what you are gaining in comparing the printouts over a comparable leading brand or an Eco Tank printer. The photos that come off this are no different than those that come off the other name brand printer I have in my home office so for that reason I have to say I cannot recommend this printer.

Setup was kind of a pain as there is no stored software and had to search for it. The next issue is buy ink before you leave the store. It took a bit to get the ink setup and aligned, and boom...out of black ink. Seriously, Epson, dont be so cheap, put full ink cartridges in the box. I have no idea how the xl black will last, but I do have to say that it does print very well, so not a total wash out.

Great price works good for me with what I bought it for

Haven't had it too long yet, but so far I'm pleased. Good quality printing and easy to set up and use. So far the ink is holding up pretty well. My old printer wasted a lot of ink and constantly needed fresh cartridges. We'll see how it does and give you an update.

My Epson XP-4200 arrived on time and in perfect condition. The machine is a handsome addition to my PC-based home office, and it has a quality feel that far exceeds that of the HP printer it replaces. The start up instructions were easy enough to follow and my USB hardwire connection was straightforward. The software download for my Windows 7-based system likewise took minutes to install, and I was up and running in no time--easy peasy! I have yet to use the scanner and copier functions, but I don't anticipate any issues there, given how well the printing process has worked so far. The LCD systems display is easy to read and has proved to be very helpful. I hate it when machines just sit there and you don't know if they're working or not! My XP-4200 seems to be well suited for the light duty copying required of it, and I will be using its copier and scanner functions occasionally. The Epson XP-4200 All-in-One Inkjet Printer is a whole lot of quality product for just $79.99! Consumer7123

Love this printer. Easy set up and connection to my wifi network. Prints a good clean copy. Already had to change the black ink cartridge and the process was super easy.

Machine set-up was semi-complex. Print quality is typical of eRSON - great. But - after printing 23 single-page documents with a color diagram in each (3"x4"), the ink supply went low, and now I have "bars" across the printing. I am now sorry I did not get the "Tank" type printer.

Unit is light weight and easy to move around. Print is very clear and legible. It was pretty simple to install. Connecting to my devices was very simple.

I would have rated this higher if it had lasted me more than 2 years. All in all for the money it is a good printer as long as you don't what to be doing big projects on it. I did go back and buy another one just like it. This time I have coverage so if this happens again, I will get a free one.

I love my new printer, works great. I had no problems sitting it up. Prints beautifully. I like the fact that I can print on both sides.

This is a- all you need printer. Perfect for home or dorm. We have owned a EPSON XP-410 printer for over 10 years. Works like a charm every single time. It was time to get our son a printer like the XP-410, since it was discontinued we went with is current sibling. the XP-4200. It is familiar, its better, it is faster, and perfect for the family. I highly recommend this printer for its longevity, accuracy and trouble free printing.
