Title: Great printer
Review: The printer was easy to hook up and works great. The ink however is expensive. I tried using remanufacturedx cartridges and after 3 or 4 copies the printer flashed an error msg that the cartridges were out of ink. They were still full.. XL types. So no cheating on ink and saving acouple bucks.

Title: Short Lifespan & Frequent Ink Issues
Review: I bought this printer after my old one finally broke down after seven years of use. I was hoping this new printer would have similar longevity, but it stopped working within a yearâspecifically, two months ago. In the past year, Iâve had to purchase new ink cartridges every two months, which have now ended up costing as much as the printer itself. The cartridges dry up very quickly, resulting in prints with barely any ink on them (see picture of printed paper). In contrast, with my previous printer, I only needed to buy cartridges once a year.After dealing with the frustration of wasted ink purchases, I decided to invest in a better printer. This model is only worthwhile if youâre using it frequently, like daily. Otherwise, the ink dries up fast, and even then, it doesnât last long before you have to buy more cartridges. I highly recommend doing some research on a better printer and avoiding this one.

Title: ONLY USE EPSON INK CARTRIDGES
Review: Tried to use off brand ink cartridges and they did not work - off brand ink cartridges are NOT compatible on Epson printers. Epson printers will only work with Epson ink cartridges. Printer is a little complicated to use and takes some time to figure out how to work it for your needs. Customer Support is helpful though and will gladly guide you through any problems you may have trying to get to what you want printer to do. After working out the "bugs" with help from Customer Support printer is working well.

Title: Simple setup. Flatbed scanner, great print quality!
Review: We had an Epson that lasted eight years. So much printing that the print head actually wore out. We bought an HP Deskjet to replace it. Eleven months nightmare. Trashed the new HP this morning. This XP4200 setup was easy and connecting it to my Android took under three minutes. Easy instructions. Epson stuck with a good thing and it works. Very happy with Epson as usual.Total time from box to printing was forty five minutes. That's excellent!Note: I never use off brand cartridges. A few have posted about this printer using only Epson ink or requiring a Firmware update for off brand cartridges. I never used off brand with our old Epson and for eight years it had no issues other than in the last few months of that eight years the print head was worn out. It was very similar to this one and three Masters Degrees were earned by our children and that printer was a workhorse!!

Review: Just bought this printer- my previous printer just died. I need a printer strictly for home use (I print recipes, copy documents, scan the odd thing). This Epson was super easy to set up - they have an app that does everything for you and connects to your Wifi. It is available from both my Apple devices (iphone and ipad) - I downloaded the Epson app and my PC laptop (added as a printer). The quality of the print is excellent and quite fast and this printer was a bargain on sale! Things have really changed in 14 years and the Epson smart app makes it available to print and scan and copy. Love it! Highly recommend it!

Review: Easy set up. Power failed to house, and unit failed to connect on restoring power. failed to talk to app for a reset. SURPRISED some time later when it repaired the wifi link itself ! Dinky ink cartridges, half full in new machine. Refill inks cost as much as printer on sale. I like it. I have few pages to print anyway. Expect first ink to print about 200 pages; new: ~500.

Review: I bought this specifically to print some important paperwork. Set up was easy enough. First sheet printed- great. Second - great. Third? Jammed. Fourth? The thing jammed again and sounded like it was gonna explode. You canât put in more than one sheet at a time and it sucks them in so fast that the get creased and angled. What shouldâve been a 3 minute print job was a 30 minute ordeal. I hope that the gears arenât permanently busted now.
