The printer does not recognize the paper when you load it, unless you turn the printer off and back on. This printer does not seem to work as well as our previous one.

Love it! Switched to Epson over HP because of the setup on our WiFi. Smooth sailing ??

Somewhat difficult to set up using the app, because it kept telling me that my WiFi password wasn't correct (I know my password!). I ended up reverting to my computer, and finally got it working. It sometimes goes offline (I don't know why), but so far it is easy to reconnect. Make sure you have the paper extender out, or it will jam.

This printer has given me troubles from day one. It never prints the correct colours, no matter how many times with different settings I try.

Purchased this printer for the nonprofit I run brand new from Best Buy about a year ago. It keeps malfunctioning, I get notices that the paper is out or that the feeders are stuck just about every other print job. I'm so frustrated. I'd like to trade this in. We don't have a lot of funding and we spent $200 on this printer.

Here's a pearl regarding this printer: if you have high blood pressure, make sure you double up on your meds if you are going to work with this printer. Out of the box it works fine. However, if you haven't printed anything in a few months and need to use it, the nozzles become clogged and cannot be cleaned using standard cleaning procedures. Additionally, Epson requires firmware updates regularly and if you don't do this, the printer will not work. This takes at least 30 minutes to do and if you are in.a hurry, you are in trouble. If you experience a power outage while updating firmware, kiss your new printer goodbye because you will be on the phone with tech support trying to figure out how to get it rebooted. Epson outsources tech support and they charge you a recurring fee of $65.00 plus a $5.00 enrollment fee. They do not tell you about the recurring charge and it is difficult to disenroll from tech support. This is a scam that I will be reporting to the appropriate authorities. Btw, you will need an unusual, hard to find usb cable to directly connect your computer to the printer to get it going again. I gave up and I WILL NEVER BUY AN EPSON PRODUCT AGAIN IN MY LIFETIME!!!!

This printer is absolute trash. The prints come out faded or not visible at all. Then I have to clean the nozzle, clean the print head, there's like 7 steps of "maintenance" all to print out one paper. Save your money and look elsewhere. I literally ripped mine apart with my bare hands out of frustration for 2 years. $350 for a useless printer. So long EPSON: Never again.

This printer has been extremely frustrating to use. Print quality is inconsistent...it frequently misses spots and produces incomplete prints. Even for simple tasks, you often have to wait while it runs nozzle and print head cleaning cycles before it can attempt to print again. Overall, it's unreliable and not worth the hassle.

I bought this, believing it would be as great as the first Epson I bought many years ago. I have never been more disappointed in a product. The printing colors and clarity is never the same. And when I go online to find out what I can do, it is hard to find a way to communicate. The fixes they give do not work for me, and I have never been so frustrated with a product. I doubt that I will ever return to this company.

Absolute GARBAGE! Don't buy this printer. Problem after problem. Constantly cleaning print heads to print one page, and it stops printing again. Skips lines. Random error messages. All from day one. Epson should be embarrassed selling this product. Never again.

This is my second eco print printer and I will never buy another, The paper is constantly getting stuck in the printer and it prints missing lines all the time. This printer is used regularly and it lets me down constantly, I heard good things prior to purchasing the first but I just cannot recommend them at all.

I have had this printer now for about 2 years now and have had nothing but issues with it. I keep getting the error msg Wi-Fi is out of order. Please contact Epson Support 202620. I have contacted them but to no avail. When I connect an USB cable to use for printing, I only get the first couple of pages and then it stops or I get half the first page and then it stops. Not worth the time, effort or money to get one of these.

I bought this printer and within 3 months had to make a warranty claim. Well after the hassle of getting a replacement was said and done. The replacement is now giving me a error code of 202620. Not connecting to my Wi-Fi network. The kicker is I've only printed 134 pages since receiving the replacement. Now no warranty I'm basically stuck with a worthless piece of junk as a desktop catch all. !

Bought one year ago. Will no longer print in color (fails to incorporate cyan) and has horrible connectivity issues. Do not buy this printer.

I researched this printer for price and for print ink options and reliability. So far everything is great. Download the Epsom app and follow directions to set up. So easy.

After years of paying astronomical fees on printing, I LOVE having my new Epson! How nice to have the refillable bottles that are so economical and simple to fill. It prints great, prints both sides - so happy for this purchase!!

I had a bad experience. My printer stopped working via Wi-Fi, saying it couldn't connect and giving an error. I reported it, but there was no solution. I bought a USB cable, and it worked for a while, but now it doesn't even work with the cable. I lost the warranty, and I lost my money. Terrible service.

No written instructions for usage and how to interpret the tiny screen on the machine. Very frustrating!!!

printer under warranty & was not able to get the issuse fixed after 1 hour of troubleshooting. I was told to contact M/S for support due to the printer would scan with no scan but won't print unless I "Hit print & up arrow" each time the print job was sent to prtr; the printing is fine but the operation to print is a disaster. I never expected this from Epson 1. steps taken to resolve via Epson tech. 2. problem not reolved 3. told to contact M/S for further support.

I spent TWO WEEKS running through all the tests, as many required a 12-hour wait for them to cycle. I purchased a color printer, but the test sheets continue to indicate missing colors after 2 weeeks of exceeding their instructions/tests. When I contacted Epson to request a return document and refund, I was advised Epson does not issue refunds. In my professional opinion, and I am a 45 year art director for a CBS affiliate television station, this printer is defective at best. That Epson refuses to accept a return and issue a refund is unconscionable. I would never willingly purchase another Epson product.

Absolutely horrible. Received as a Christmas gift in 2024 and has been an absolute nightmare. Sometimes it's connected, sometimes it's not. It's NEVER ready for a print job. I am currently 7 minutes in to its cleaning of the ink heads and what not. Sections of ink are ALWAYS missing, so it has to do its cleaning, organizing, preparing, recleaning, recleaning... another reclean... oh, then its got to reline... or whatever it does. Good lord. I'm on 2 of 7 of the maintenance process.... it's been over 10 mins because its slow and sections of ink are always missing. Now we've got the black ink, but no color. And yes, the ink was just filled recently. I'm going to try and print 1 more time..... nice, it printed a blank page!

Worked first month or so then boom... Blank pages, striped printing.... Now I'm running issues with downloading the driver. Remember office space.. This printer is it. But hey, I can scan documents. 1 by 1 which is also painful. Sorry for sounding like a Karen this printer is large paper weight.

I purchased this printer in December 2023 and for most of the time I owned it, I genuinely loved it. The print quality was great, the ink system was economical, and it worked well for light, home use. Unfortunately, less than two years later, it developed a serious paper feed problem that makes it unusable. The paper now feeds in at an angle, crumples, and tears, triggering a paper error every time. This happens consistently and is not related to user error. The printer was lightly used, well maintained, and stored in a normal home environment. I have checked thoroughly for obstructions, cleaned the paper path, updated the firmware, and followed all recommended troubleshooting steps, with no improvement. I'm disappointed that a printer marketed for longevity failed so early due to what appears to be a mechanical issue. If this had happened after many years of heavy use, I would understand, but at under two years old it's frustrating - especially now that it's out of warranty. When it worked, it was excellent. I just wish the build quality had matched the promise of the EcoTank system.

Printing is extremely slow, no where close to 10.5 ppm. So disappointed, I have tried all setting options.

I have had the WT2850 for about one month. The print quality is great, and I love the tanks vs cartridges. HOWEVER--the wireless connection is terrible. After 3 weeks, this printer keeps losing connection to my wi-fi signal. Nothing else in the house is having this problem. Epson has included a special "reconnection" app (probably due to known issues) that automatically opens when connection is lost. It is highly inconvenient to spend 8-10 minutes reestablishing the connection just to print 6 pages. I guess I'll have to use a cable to connect to printer, which defeats the wireless feature altogether.

I wish I can give zero rating, the money spendd in this printer went straight to the toilet, this is the worse printer i ever had, since I purchased over a year ago, it wifi keep disconnecting, although is seating right next to the router , and it doesn't have a ethernet jack, only provides a usb-b for wired connection which can only be to a single computer, the screen is smaller than my watch, and the stupid keyboard is useless for uptodate network security password and it wasn't cheap
