Have only been using for about 2 weeks now. Easy to set up with app. Using with a IMac. Scanning feature works well. I have only use the scanning feature through the app. Not sure how to using this feature on the printer screen menu.

I am extremely pleased with the quality of my new printer. It prints beautiful color documents very quickly. The Wifi is very dependable. I would definitely recommend this product.

While it is considered a quality printer, there are issues. Setting up the printer to the internet is counter-intuitive. Frequently, the process froze and the printer had to be shut off and turned back on. In addition, it really doesn't have a touch screen but a very small, badly placed window of 1.44". I will give this a couple of more days but not sure it won't be returned.

I've had this printer this printer for 6 months. I don't like it. I would not buy it again. My previous Epson printer, a WF-3540, was great. I had it many years and had very few problems with it. Eventually parts wore out. My main issue with the ET-2980 is the microscopic display. It is 1 inch by 1 inch with tiny font. It is very hard to see, and I seem to constantly have to answer questions and enter ok or proceed. The usability is terrible. There was space for a larger display - I assume it was a cost-cutting decision. I was unable to print mailing labels on this printer. I wasted lots of time trying different settings and nothing worked. It kept spitting out the label sheets. Also the paper holder is small. I am disappointed with this printer

JUST BOUGHT MY EPSON ET-2988 PRINTER FROM COSTCO, AFTER 3 DAYS OF WORKING WITH EPSON AND APPLE I WAS STILL UNABLE TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS. MY OLD EPRON ET-5550 I HAD FOR OVER 10 YEARS WITH NO ISSUES WITH DRIVER INSTALL. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS. DONT BUY THE ET-2988 OR ET2980 PRINTER.

OUCH

Worst printer I have ever purchased! Continuously hangs up, no matter how many times we update the firmware. Paper feeds poorly resulting in jams. Rarely connects to in-home laptops.

We've been using the printer for over a year now and mostly have found it easy to use. Power surges seem to affect it, even with a surge protector, so we're constantly having to unplug to reboot. The biggest problem happened today. The printer showed a warning that the Maintenance Box needs to be replaced and gave Product number T04D1. It didn't give a warning. It just stopped working and said this module has to be replaced before the printer can be used. We live in Oklahoma City. I've contacted Best Buy, Staples, Office Max and Office Depot, Walmart and Target. I also called Epson. No one has it in stock locally. It has to be ordered. Even Amazon is saying we won't get it until Tuesday if it is ordered today. This being a Thursday, it means we have a large non-functional paperweight for the next 5 days. My mom has a small business. Is she expected to go to the library to print? This is a big design flaw. Don't waste your money.

Bought this from Costco and the Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping. Every time you have to print, then go through power on/off cycle to restore connectivity. Called their technical support as well but it's useless since they don't know the root cause. I believe if the Wi-Fi routers are on DHCP mode the printer fails to recognize the wifi. So after every 30 mins or so it loses the connection and requires restart. Returned it after using two months. Also, within two months the color prints started getting lines on the print.

This has to be the worst printer I have ever owned. That is not because it doesn't turn out a good product, but mainly because it is so computer software dependent, and that often fails. Wi-fi connectivity is terrible. I can print with Wi-fi, and I can scan using the Windows Scan software I downloaded from the Microsoft Store. But Epson's own software can't find the scanner. I have to turn off the modem and printer and then restart everything for any chance for it to connect. Why is it that Epson's software can connect for printing, and Microsoft scan software can connect with the unit, but Epson's own software can't find it? I even tried to connect it manually entering the IP address of my Wi-fi, but that doesn't work. On the unit itself, I hit the appropriate arrows to get the appropriate screen for scanning and then it wants to know do I want to use the previous connection or use USB, and I tell it previous, and it says it's invalid. Checking the network connections on the unit tells me there's no connection. But I can print by wifi from my computer. So trying to use the printer itself to do anything other than just copy or print and is thoroughly iffy. So bottom line, the software makes this thing a giant headache. Maybe if I used the app on my phone, it would work more easily. But I get tired of being dependent on my phone for every blasted thing. Using the controls on the printer is also a mini nightmare. I read the warnings about using the tiny one inch window on the screen, and I should have heeded those warnings. I should not have to bend over to get close to the printer to read the screen. Add to this having the paper exposed all the time (no interior tray) and duplex printing, and this was a regrettable purchase.

Fantastic printer! Easy to set up and easy to use. Love the scanning ability and prints pages fast and with good quality printing.

I had no problem setting up my new printer and loading the ink bottles. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. The install instructions run on an iPad or iPhone and make the process easier. I loaded the drivers on my laptop, also with no problems. The print quality, especially photos are much higher quality than my old HP printer with ink cartridges. The very small LED panel is hard to read, but not really needed much with the software on an Apple device. Overall this was a great upgrade from our old printer and the ink subscription we were paying for. Be advised that this printer will not print on both sides of a page, it is one side only

Setup gets a 4 out of 5. Could you have made the screen any smaller? And why does my warranty only run for 9 months? First impression is that it prints nicely, software downloaded and installed without a problem. Paper receiving tray looks pretty flimsy.

The setup of the printer with out using the app. is extremely poor, the instruction are poor and over all stinks compared to two other eco tanks I have. The paper feed his SoSo. The excuse for a display a joke and hard to read. The ink tank bottle key slot is sloppy (all tanks) have to wiggle the tanks to get them to put the ink in. Yea this a low cost printer but it's not worth have the price, bought to replace a ET-3760 that the ink head is tired after 9K+ prints. Would defiantly NOT recommend this printer to anyone

I have only had the sprinter for two days and the quality seems good. I am using it with a MacBook Pro with iOS 11. It took me about an hour and a half to install a software and get the printer running Wi-Fi signal was recognized by the printer, but when I tried using it, it would not connect. I'm hoping it does not lose the Wi-Fi connection in the future because it is a pain to have to reset the Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi connected instantly with my iPhone 11 and I was able to print from my phone right away no problems here I shut off the printer in the evening and then try to use the printer in the morning And again, it would not connect to the Wi-Fi. I had to go through the Wi-Fi settings again. Not happy with the software installation.

I bought this because my previous Epson was bleeding me dry in ink costs. This priinter has been a piece of crap since it came out of the box. I have not been able to print more than a couple of pages because the printer will not maintain the wifi password entered. I have reset the network settings at least 20 times, going thru all the steps to enter the network password (2 separate networks, extremely strong signal and high speeds available), yet the printer will only give me maybe a page or so every 4-5 resets. Junk!

Don't buy from epson! I bought this printer. it came without yellow ink. You cannot even use the printer without setting it up with all the colors. Contacted epson and after being passed around for over an hour they said they were overnighting yellow to me. Waited 2 weeks and then called them back and turns out yellow is out of stock. meanwhile, i have an unusable printer. Asked if they could send a 3 pack which includes yellow...no. asked if I could just return the printer and they said i would have to pay shipping back. after telling them this was unacceptable, they said they would pay the shipping back but the refund would take up to 2 weeks after they received the printer back. Not a good company to buy from!!!

I should have listened to the reviews I read. I wanted a printer that does double-sided printing, and I didn't have a lot of money. Reviews said the screen on the printer was too small, and they complained about what you have to do to draw in the tray after printing. Why on earth would any company make a printer with a 1" screen? We aren't Superman with his better-than-cat-like vision. And with all the room on the front panel, why not put a button for one-touch drawing in of the tray? Did middle-schoolers design this thing? And then there are the wifi connectivity issues. It fights to connect, making scanning and other tasks a chore. This is a lousy printer. If you have to fight with a printer, being inexpensive isn't a good enough reason to buy it.

This printer replaced an XP-640, which was inexpensive but required a lot of maintenance and guzzled ink. The ET-2980 was a cinch to set up and connect to wi-fi. Filling the ink tanks was quick, clean, and easy. I love the self-adjusting print quality feature. My only complaint is the control panel window is so tiny it can be difficult to read. Otherwise, it's perfect for my home office.

I just bought this and the scanner is broken. I now have to figure out how to file a warranty claim to get it replaced. Buyer beware.

I had several HP printers that lasted maybe up to a year each, and I was so frustrated that I felt it was time to try another brand. After researching online and reviewing all the printers available, I decided to try Epson. It was a smart move. I have had no problems with printing, adding paper and adding new ink. It was a smart purchase.

Paper started jamming on double sided printing after 5 months of EXTREMELY light use. Total garbage. Internal parts bent on their own. I want my money back.

Epson has a junk printer. I purchased the Epson off people's recommendation and it is a horrible product. Does not print as well as claimed. Is not a nice color and is loud. I mean like gears turning loud. The customer service is the worst I have ever experienced with smart replies in chat. I was told it was my bandwidth in my internet the problem so I changed companies to what the CSR said it should be. Did NIt work. I am stuck out all the money for the printer and no one cares at Epson. The HP CSR are kind enough to answer your questions, they will replace a bad printer that is only two months old, they also will send a technician. The only resolution I have gotten is to eat my cost and move on. So I will forever tell anyone that this is the worse service you will ever receive.
