From ease of unpacking to tputting this printer online was quick and trouble free. I had no problems getting this thing up and working. This is my first EPSON product. Much faster and more quiet than my old Kodak 747. I have had it a few weeks now and I can say at this point, the best home printer I have ever owned.
I would recommend this printer to an advanced user, not a beginner or novice, The installation, particularly the wireless part, gets quite involved and requires patience and experience. I had to temporaritly move the printer close to the router for set up, then back to my 6 foot desk shelf. Initially I had the printer 3 feet right of my tower where it detected the network name but would not connect using the correct password. Now I have it situated four feet or so right of the tower and it is working. The start instructions should have suggested this. There is a reference about using a usb cable at installation but no details on how to use it.
I really like how easy it was to setup and download the printer to both computers at home. I would recommend this product to anyone with a small business at home.
I really enjoy this new machine. My only complaint is the set up for wireless has problems...it would not let me set up network via the panel, but had to use the disk and manually hook it up to the computer...it still will not let me use the panel to wirelessly scan....it does not recognize my computer in the choices and only wants me to hook up USB...however if I start the scan with my computer it will scan wirelessly. Otherwise this is and excellent machine. The detail on a picture I printed on plain paper was the best I have ever seen.
