This printer was lovely for a long time, however after only a year and a half it's stuck in a perpetual "paper jam" error that I cannot fix or go past. Since it's out of warranty I couldn't get another one and there isn't someone who can repair it closeby. While it served me well for a year and a half, it's a shame that I couldn't get more out of it.

I absolutely HATE this printer. It constantly loses connection, paper jams, just doesn't print suddenly after printing other documents earlier in the day, goes through ink very quickly (I rarely print). I have to restart it all of the time to get it to reconnect to the wifi and recognize the connected computers. This was a complete waste of money.

Multiple problems with screen freezing. I had to exchange it and still same problems. It takes 5 minutes to print one page. Final page density is poor.

So far, the printer has worked very well. It's fast and accurate. The price was very reasonable and we loved the free shipping. I love the Wi-Fi access to it. I wish the ink cartridges were cheaper. I would recommend it to a friend. I've always had good results with Epson Printers. This is my third.

For the most part, this printer has been good, but in just over a month it has already ripped through almost two full sets of ink cartridges. 254 color pages printed and it has already used two full Magenta cartridges.

I love this printer, I've had it for over 4 years now and it has always worked great. My only complain is that the ink does not last long, I think on average I can print close to about 100 pages per cartridge.

Do not buy this printer. I'm on my 3rd one and epson service is a joke. They replace them buy it leaves you with out a printer for 7 day every time. These are defective printers. and are very unreliable. I will never buy another epson. product. Since I have to buy another printer because my business cannot wait another 7 day for a replacement printer I'm switching brands.

Excellent printer and it will do most of what I need to do, but the major problem I'm having is with email scan set up, I called Microsoft, could not solve problem, Epson could not solve problem, Google could not solve the issue and Yahoo could not solve the issue with the scan feature of smtp server email install. I hope Epson developers take a serious look at the problem or you will lose a lot of customers. I spent 4 days on this problem and it seems everyone with epson is having the same smtp server problems in setting up email.

I Bought The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4830 And Let Me Tell You, It Is lightning Fast. I Highly Recommend This Product, Its Clarity Surpasses The Price Range Into Which I Paid.

There was no easy way to find software to scan or print from desktop. The different "Apps" are nowhere defined nor described. I had to call Help on phone 3 times to get access to the "Epson Scan 2" which eventually and could be downloaded. The search feature on Epson does not return any useful results.

Do NOT waste your money. It will grabs multiple pieces of paper when printing and scanning. It will print wifi from my computer, but will only connect to scan 10% of the time. I have used a dehumidifier thinking perhaps the paper issue was due to moisture in the air. It is not. Big waste of money for this.

Printer does not print without all cartridges. If your colors run out you're out of luck, you will have to save everything until you buy more cartridges.

I like this printer but this is my 2nd WF4830 and this is the second time the printer paper feeder has made this printer unusable in the 2nd year of ownership after the warrantly has expired. This is extremely annoying. I like Epson but if their printers only last 2 years, I am thinking I need to switch to a different brand.

Wifi worked for a week or so then stopped connecting to the router. I switched to a wired connection. That worked for a couple more weeks then stopped. My wife and I shared the printer. So from then on we would have to move our laptops so we could connect directly to the printer, printer, then move our laptops back to our desks. Ridiculously cumbersome. Ridiculously poor quality printer.

I have used Epson printers before, but this printer is very easy to set up, and works wonders around any other manufacturers product. I love it, no problems so far. I have had it less than a week, and it works good for me.

Firmware update has rendered the print functionality of my printer inoperable. Ink cartridges were purchased at Staples (Canada) and were supposed to be "authentic". They worked fine until the firmware update (Dec 2024) and now I can't do anything for printing, not even black & white. So many complaints on the web about this. I will NOT buy another Epson printer again.

Bought this a couple years ago and replacement ink bought at store only showed below full level and black was not working properly. Yes Epson brand!!!! Purchased other brand online for half the price and worked great until Epson firmware upgrade now forcing me to buy only Epson brand ink as it now tells me it doesn't recognize the cartridges that were working perfect until firmware upgrade eliminated this for their own petty gain.

I bought it about a year ago and has been working fine until a firmware update prompt came up and I updated then it does not recognize any of the cartridges. Very disruptive for my business.

I bought this printer based on the positive review by PC Magazine. What a mistake! From day one, I have experienced constant jams when resetting printing functions and the easy task of changing from letter size to envelope printing. I found the settings difficult to manually change, resulting in paper jams and getting stuck in the printer queue. I also have a consistent issue replenishing the printer with new paper and not being recognized after loading.

I had high hopes for this printer when I bought it since it was my 2nd Epson. Granted I have had this for several years and very disappointed..I have put up with Paper Jambs and even bought the paper directly from Epson..now it keeps going offline and I've removed and reinstalled the drivers twice its so annoying i try to avoid using it unless I absolutely have to.

If I could give it zero stars I would. This is the worst printer I have ever had. I used to purchase Epson printers 18 years ago for my business. They always had superior color and printing quality. I was forced to purchase an HP because Epson became to expensive for the amount of ink used as well as printers. However, after my last HP crapped out on me, I purchased another Epson. The price was good and ink prices were cheaper. What a mistake! I purchased it in September of last year and now it won't even turn on. Before the fact that it stopped working altogether, it was slow. It was slow to communicate with my MAC, it was slow to print. Sometimes taking as long as 5 minutes to print 1 single paper. The paper would jam all the time. I was constantly having to mess with it to get the paper unstuck. Then one morning..poof...it didn't want to print at all. So I turned it off and back on and now it just shows the Epson logo and 3 little dots and then turns itself off. I've unplugged it, I've tried to hold buttons down etc., but it is just useless. Unless Epson replaces this unit for free, I will never purchase another Epson printer...ever.

I own 3 of these printers. I need to reload the driver for one of them that operates in Windows 7. Can I find the driver to download? NOPE!

I bought this for our small business, it works part of the time but not all the time. It jams alot, does not print business cards and constantly loses connection with computers. Most days, I just want to throw it out the window. I would not recommend.

I've bought this printer for a mobile notary business because it has 1. dual trays and 2. prints on legal paper. I've used this once so far and while it scans faster than my HP that I've been using, it does NOT have a tray large enough to hold legal paper so I could NOT print the documents I needed on legal paper. I was able to get them printed on another machine. I printed the letter size papers on this machine and had several issues with paper getting jammed or feeding multiple blank pages through out the document. I tried to connect the machine to my laptop in my car to scan documents once they were signed and it wouldn't scan directly to my laptop. I'm going to do more research on this machine this week but if I can't get it to scan without wifi then it will be returned.

I bought this printer in July of 2023. It was working fanatastically but then I performed the prompted for update. After the update, the printer would no longer recognize the black ink cartridge. I contacted Epson support and after jumping through all of the hoops... once they confirmed that it was still under warranty... I was told to send them the images of proof of purchase, error message and the ink cartridge. After sending the images, they informed me that the problem was due to the fact that I was using a third party cartridge therefore the warranty was null and void. Mind you, this cartridge was NOT third party. I purchased it from Staples...the same store that I bought the printer from. The cartridge was packaged in the typical Branded Epson box and yet Epson told me it was third party cartridge ! Consequently, I am now looking for a new printer....and it WON'T be an Epson.

I recently updated the firmware on my printer, and now the ink cartridges are no longer recognized. They were working perfectly fine before the update, but afterward, the printer stopped accepting them.
