    Cannot automatically print double sided. Followed directions and put paper in again to print the remaining sheets, and it printed one blank page first which threw all the page numbers off. Huge hassle to print a simple document.

    I requested information about this printer from Best Buy's employee or salesman. The problem is that the sellers do not have any idea of this printer. In addition to the four containers of Ink, the printer had in addition two cartridges' which must also be installed. The cost of replacing the ink plus the cartridges must be high, but the sellers had no idea. The printer had a limited capacity to put paper. Therefore, I opted to return the printer. opted

    The printer itself is only okay. It takes a lot longer to print items than expected and there's an error message about the ink cartridge's more often than expected.

    Very difficult to set up. Directions says go to the website. The directions and website directions are not the same. I have had it for 3 weeks still not connected to wifi. Had to hire Geek Squad to connect it.

    Bought it because the person who helped me with the pirchase said it was a really good printer and very easy to install. I purchased it and its just sitting there not being used because I just coul not install it to the wifi. Now im just paying for it and have not even used it once.

    The paper consistently jams. It states it holds up to 100 pieces of paper I only put 50 in and after two pages it jammed. I put 10 in the area just enough for the job. Every other page it jammed. On top of that the print got lighter and lighter. The ink levels are full. I will be returning this the printer. I do not recommend this printer.
