jammed paper, blank pages, ADF jams, etc.

This printer is not anywhere near the quality it should be for this price. We had purchased it for a small office and everyone hated it. It constantly jammed and once you solve the jam spits out blank pages over and over. Was able to return it thanks the store return policy but there was a lot of time wasted trying to get it to work. We switched back to a laser printer as we need something reliable….and this printer is not reliable.

Love this printer!

Good print quality, even on plain paper. Rated speed is 17 ppm black and 9.5 ppm color. Real life print speed is close to rated speed. Scanning speed is also very quick. Copies are very quick and have excellent quality. Ink replenishment is quick and easy. The EcoTank bottlles are $50 for a set of 4 and provide 6 months of typical use. This makes printing very economical. Load the ink was quick and easy. Just dump the liquid ink into the reservoir. Having a large bottle instead of small cartridge does introduce a bit more risk of spillage, but the design of the bottles mitigates spillage. ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: This $600 printer is probably twice the price of an equivalant printer that requires Epson-proprietary ink cartridges. However, the saving over a year of buying expensive cartridges more than justifies the increased cost of the printer. IMHO, paying more for the printer but paying a fair price for inexpensive ink is also a more honest arrangement. LINUX Wireless and wired networking is availble, as is USB. After connecting to the network or computer, scanning is easy. I use VueScan, but "Epson Scan 2" is available from Epson for free. Like other Epson printers, printing can be difficult to configure. Although, Ubuntu detects the printer, printing fails with the automatic setup. Instead, choose "Manual URI" and type "lpd://EPSONFBD131/BINARY_P1" for the connection. After that, proceed as usual.

The SLOWEST printer I have ever had!

By Far the SLOWEST printer I have ever had! Trying to print Real Estate flyer's could take all day!! I am not even sure what the purpose of a printer this slow could possibly be? Seriously, my first color printer back in the early 2000's was faster. This thing is ridiculously slow. I was shocked and deeply disappointed since Sam's Club seems to be phasing out the HPs. I liked the concept of the tank of ink but this is embarrassing and the paper tray keeps jamming. I have tried adjusting settings to 300/300 (the only options are printing at 300/300 or 600/600) and googling resolutions. Sadly it is a snail! It would burn up the energy saved in ink cartridges in the amount of energy used to stay on and print!

Crap

This printer was crap right out of the box. Upgraded to this one cause the model before this one would last maybe 8 months. This one had software issues, constantly had paper jams, would not stay connected. Would not recommend this to an enemy.

Going back to HP

I was very hopeful this printer would work for our business when I bought it almost 3 months ago. But unfortunately It constantly jams. I haven't been able to get the auto feeder to work. It is not user friendly at all. The setup takes time and effort, took about a hour including downloading and installing Epson suite to communicate with printer, which I actually had to contact Epson to get done since I couldn't find it on the website. Difficult to set up the scanner to work with the downloadable program. Taking back and going back to the HP which have worked well for me for over 25 years, I just really liked how the ink reloads in this printer.

Prints very slow

Bulky printer that prints very slow. Where the paper feeds out, its hard to grab in between the printer and scanner unit. Not very happy with this purchase at the price I paid. Lots of ink though... on a positive note.
