This printer was fairly easy to assemble and get going. So far we have only had 2 issues with it and one of the it had to be unplugged in order to get it to print from a wireless device. On another occasion I was also instructed by the printer when it wouldn’t print to remove and check one of the print heads. It was easy to do and I found nothing wrong with it but I had to do it 2 times to get the printer to come back online and print. Hopefully these are one time events. The large print tanks are great and are very easy to fill. I haven’t had to refill them and suspect I won’t for a long time since there’s just 2 of us that use this printer. The quality of the paper printing is good and the colors are very nice. I have not tried to print any photos yet but might try that just to see how it works. I generally don’t use a printer to print my photos but send them to a printing service especially with my previous printer which the ink was very expensive. The refills on this printer seem very inexpensive in comparison. Hopefully the print heads, which look a lot like another printers ink cartridges, will last quite a while. One negative thing I have seen is that it is slow to print if it hasn’t printed in a while. The printing speed on it is ok but not wonderful. The unit is very sturdy and fit into the place I had my previous printer. The scanner is very nice in that you can use it wirelessly and not just from a computer but from a phone or tablet. It has several locations that you can have the end product of the scan end up, email, Dropbox or a hard drive location if you have one saved. The paper tray is not huge and holds maybe 30-40 sheets so that’s a little bit disappointing. I’m not sure why they didn’t put the paper feed into a drawer under the paper output. It could have held more paper and not been a dust collector like it is mounted on the back. I have not used the fax but I did notice that when I went to plug it into a phone line that there is only one jack and that is an input. So if you need a phone and fax, you need to get a phone line splitter. We rarely need a fax and if we do we’ll just plug in the phone line to it. Overall I’m pretty happy with this printer although while I was writing this review I decided to try the sheet feeder and scan from my iPad and the printer locked up again. I unplugged it as it was stuck in shut down mode for quite a long time. When it came back up I scanned from my iPad from the sheet feeder and it worked ok. I feel like the pages were just a little tilted to one side and there was a small black mark at the bottom of each page that’s not on the scanner bed-so they didn’t feed quite square. I do feel like the software side of this printer is a little bit difficult to get everything set up and working and can be a little time consuming. But as of now it all seems to be working well.

I upgraded from an HP Inkjet. I got too tired paying for the cartridges. This is very similar to what I had. I needed to be able to print on both sides automatically and I needed a flash drive port. It's a little more pricey upfront than my old inkjet,but it should quickly pay for itself on savings from ink.
One little nitpick: getting the printer heads in is a little tricky.

So easy to set up, great prints - love that I can sit on the couch & print my documents!
Only challenge is that it doesn't hold a lot of paper so large print jobs require refills!

Works great but a little slow. Easy to install and use! Love the rear paper feed. I print labels, postcards and thick paper with no problem. I recommend it.

Setup is intuitive and fluid. The fact it comes with 2 years of ink up front is awesome but what I really like is if one color runs out I only have to replace the color and not the whole darned cartridge. Printouts are crisp and tight…this is a great design and buy imo.

I really like that there are no ink cartridges. As far as how long the ink lasts remains to be seen. But the ink more likely will last 2 years or more, The printer had a very good price and the cost of ink is going to be a lot less than the cartridges.
