All-In-One Printers

Of the more than 20 or so printers I have owned this is the best yet. The printer arrived along with a power cord, a telephone cord, an instruction sheet with 8 clearly defined steps to set up the printer for use, 4 individually wrapped ink cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta & Yellow), a software disk, a quick guide manual, an instruction sheet for Apple users and a packet of paper samples consisting of 2 sheets of paper.

There are two options in setting up the printer. One option is a USB cable connection to the PC. The other option is a wireless setup. I chose the wireless option which has two options as well. One is to use the USB cable for the initial setup and then remove it for wireless operation. The other option is to setup wireless without the USB cord. I chose the latter. The instructions directed the insertion of the software disk. This began a clearly written series of instruction pages which ended with a completely setup printer whose features all worked to...

I read the reviews on here and was surprised... someone said "hard to set up". All I can say is "Did you remember to turn it on?" I took it out of the box, plugged it into the wall, used the menu to attach to my wireless network. It said connected. I walked over to my iMac and added the printer (worked great). Then i took out my iPad and iPhone and printed to it using AirPrint technology. No hassle, no confusion. Maybe the last guy had a dud. Great printer!

I wanted to print wirelessly from my iPad using AirPrint, and directly via USB cable from my laptop. The standard installation software didn't work, and I spent three phone calls and nearly two hours with Epson support before we could figure it out. It's working now, so it can be done.

The printer itself is terrific! The feature set for the money can't be beat. It prints,scans, copies, faxes, prints double-sided, and has an automatic document feeder. Photo printing is not gallery quality, but 4x6 prints are just fine. And this machine is FAST, as it claims. The paper drawer,while large, must be completely removed to add or change paper and is a little finicky.

The installation and setup was very complex - hence the four stars instead of five. But for less than $100 at a Big Box store and given it's features and performance, I'm very pleased.
