DOES NOT PRINT DOUBLE-SIDED

What printer doesn't print double-sided?!?! I wish this would have been written clearly in the description. I thought double-sided printing was the standard. I'm stuck with a printer I simple can't use because of substantial waste and cost of paper! So crazy!

slooowwwwww

This thing is slow to.print. bought it for our business and it is super slow. Now we have to find another. Good quality prints and the ink lasts longer than other, i can say that bit if you are in a time crunch for what your printing this is NOT the printer for you.

Shouldn't Be SO DIFFICULT TO CHANGE PAPER SIZE!

This printer is a pain in the butt. Hate it! Every time you change the paper size and print, the PRINTER will prompt you if you want to proceed and to confirm the paper sizer. It is a huge pain and requires you to push 2 buttons on the printer before it will print, if the paper size changes. So, if your printer is under your desk, or not on your desk, you have to get up and go push those 2 buttons. Complete pain, and total waste of my time. Can you imagine every time you select a different paper size to print, you have to go push 2 buttons on the printer to confirm!! Sush a pain. Why not prompt the person on the monitor instead of the printer. AND the font is way to small on the printer!!!

The ET 2840

I have a Chromebook computer and a Pixel phone. It has been a nightmare to find a printer that actual works. I have returned three different named laptops as they did not work. I was determined to find one that did. I went to Sams and took pictures of the boxes and price. Got the ET 2840 and it works with Chromebox. Suggestions: * Use the Chromebox listing of printers that work. Be aware that many of those printers are no longer sold. * Use your phone to set up. Far easier than entering your information. * Everything sets up perfectly until you have to choose your system, either Microsoft or Apple. Right, there is no Chromebox mentioned, even though Google shows it is compatible. You have to search the page for Chrome. * Almost everything works (my phone, my chromebook) via wi fi. * The problem is that my wife's pixel phone does not connect and there is no information printed to fix. * Yes, I could call the Epson call center, but that oftentimes does not work. They either never heard of Chromebooks, or don't have a clue how to fix, or worst (they are aware of the problem, but don't know when that information will be made available, and no there is no system to contact you with the right information). I really wish that Epson could be contacted with a problem, and there would be a prompt response. * On the good side, the built-in scanner is wonderful. The color printing is very good (I printed several pix using Photo card stock), and it's easy to use. * I chose the ET 2840 as it has a back paper feeder, so that I can also print card stock. I don't mind printing one page, or multiple pages (printing odd pages first), then turning over and upside down to print even number pages. Have used that method many times and the printing takes less time than a front load automatic two page printing. * Finally don't make the mistake of using non-Epson inks. Sure the price is higher than your local online stores, but the colors are bright, and your printer won't shut down. * Could not give it five stars as the help center is slow to return information, and you have to work through several helpers before finding one who understands the problem. * For me, the ET 2840 is a great printer, especially if you own Chromebook and Pixel phones.

Misleading the customer

Very disappointed in Sams Club obvious misleading customers on the special edition 2840 printer. I purchased twice with both times receiving the wrong item. The special edition with 2 free bottles of black ink is advertised but both in store and shipping orders I placed, the standard version of the 2840 was received. I even complained both on line and in store but Sams continues to sell the standard version and not the advertised SE version. The SE version is clearly marked on the picture in the ad. The item sent is the product that's been sitting on the shelf for a long time. Not the SE version. If your going to send out the out dated standard version at least send extra ink to compensate

Satisfied so far

So far I've been very pleased with the printer. I had no problems setting it up and it's been working very well. Would have liked it to include the automatic feed but for the price difference I can do without it. I'm giving this a 4 as I haven't had it long enough to verify the ink usage which is the main reason I purchased it.

Warranty issue

I will update this review in the future if the situation changes. My review is more related to the purchase process and the warranty registration of the printer. The literature with the printer indicated that a second year of warranty would be included when the product was registered. I received the printer on 1/12/24 and registered it on 1/13/24. Upon completing the registration, Epson indicated that the warranty began on 9/29/23, and that the free second year of the warranty was NOT included. This leads me to believe that the unit had been registered before (possibly a returned/refurbished unit). However, the box had NOT been opened previously and all packing appeared to be original. Currently working with Epson to sort this out. If the warranty isn't extended, as promised, it will be returned to Sam's Club for replacement/refund.
