    Horrible printer

    Horrible. Ink almost out after 3 months use & it’s used maybe once a week for 1-2 pages and mostly black ink only. Takes forever to print so speed is slow & trying to AirPrint is awful! 98% of the time it won’t pick up on the AirPrint and you have to turn the printer off/back on & start the process again. It’s not an internet connectivity issue. Worst printer I’ve ever bought. I want to throw it out the window! Got suckered into the sales pitch from Best Buy guys saying the bottled ink is the new way to go and it last two years. NO TRUE! Do not buy this printer.

    It showed capable of two-sided printing on the display. When I got home, I discovered that it required printing on one side then reloading the paper to print the other side. I wanted something like my older (and much cheaper) printer did which did that automatically. So I returned it and got a cheaper printer.

    This is the worst printer ever. Super slow, barely connects its inactive or searching network 90% of the time. I don’t understand why they pushed me to this. Absolute loss

    Printer requires using 2G ONLY. I was not told this until my usual computer man came to set everything up. Sad, but perhaps that's why Best Buy lowered the price so much.

    This product failed for me- error messages could not be corrected with regard to ink function, There are ink distributor cartridges that add to the margin of error and will mean expenses in the future- Epson, which I replaced it with is much better set up. The paper also loads from the rear which seems more exposed than the traditional drawer.
