The best

The work force 545 all in one is the best printer I have had. Fax is easy as well as copies. Prints very well on various papers and does great photos. The extra high capacity ink cartridges worth the money. Installation was easy. More than happy with this printer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great, but no collating of copies

This replaced a laser all-in-one I had for many years. I always had an Epson color printer for envelopes, photos and when I needed a color printout. My latest one is an Epson Workforce 30. I was so impressed with the output of that printer that, when my laser printer bit the dust, I decided to try the Workforce 545.
I run a business from my home office, so, my printer/scanner/copier/fax gets quite a workout. I have been very impressed with the performance of this machine.
Setup was simple. I have my main computer connected by USB, my laptop and my smartphone connect through WiFi. The computers connected flawlessly using the supplied disc and I downloaded the Epson iprint app from the Android Market. Print speed from the phone can be very slow if you are more than a couple of feet from the printer, but, printing from both computers is as fast as any printer I have used.
One minor complaint: pages do not collate when using the COPY function. When printing multiple copies of multiple page documents from the computer I set the Printer Preferences to print in reverse order and collate. However, when you put a multi-page document in the auto feeder and copy it, the pages come out in reverse. When I have a large document that needs multiple copies, I use the workaround of scanning to the printer instead of using COPY. That way it prints in the right order and is collated (I am using the scanner application from a third party program, you cannot do this directly from the machine or using Epson Scan on the computer. Using Epson Scan you would need to scan it to your desktop as a pdf and then print that file, one extra step but it is still easier than manually collating a lot of pages). If I am only making one copy of a multi-page document, I manually collate the copied pages.
Speed ratings are overrated because they only apply for copies after the first one. Since most items are copied or printed one at a time, that speed is not relevant. That being said, however, I find the printer is very responsive and have little lag time between pressing "print" and the machine reacting. By the time I get out of my chair and cross the room to get the printed document a page or two has printed.
The color printouts are gorgeous. What more can I say?
The scanner works great on B&W or color. Speed of scanning is dependent on the dpi setting. Again, this is as fast as any scanner I have used.
I don't use the fax a lot, but, again, the setup for using the auto answer with a standalone answering machine was quick and painless. Just follow the instructions in the user's manual.
As with all inkjet printers, it is noiser than the laser printer it replaced, but, not unreasonably so. I guess if you had a sleeping baby in the next room it could be a problem. And, like all inkjet printers, it uses ink fairly quickly, but the laser printer used toner pretty quickly (about 500 pages for a standard capacity black cartridge, 750 for the high capacity). If you are using it like I am, you definitely want to buy the high capacity cartridges, at least for the black one; and, keep extras on hand. Which color cartridges you use would, of course, depend on how much color printing you do.

Excellent!

The 545 All-in-One works great. The print quality is very good and it connects easily with our home network via Wifi. Our old printer claimed too, but I constantly had issues printing with my MAC - not with the Epson. It's great and I will definitely recommend it!
