I tried 2 other brands for wireless operation with my laptop neither worked,,,bought Epson 545 followed directions for installation and this all in one works perfectly from my laptop in any room of my house,,and from desktop which is hardwired,,,great product ,,quiet, holds lots of paper ,,love the ability to scan and fax ....just a great price also....
I HAVE NOT HAD MY EPSON WORKFORCE 545 FOR VERY LONG, ABOUT 1 WEEK, BUT IT HAS PERFORMED ACCORDING TO MY EXPECTATIONS IN EVERYWAY. MY WIFE WANTED TO BUY ME A NEW PRINTER FOR MY BIRTHDAY, AND I TOLD HER ONLY A EPSON. I HAVE HAD EPSONS FOR YEARS AND THEY ARE THE BEST. I'VER USED OTHERS AT WORK AND OTHER PLACES AND THEY DO NOT COMPARE IN RELIALABILITY AND USAGE AS AN EPSON.
I recently badly damaged my Epson all-in-one I had for a couple of years (it was my fault - honest). Anyway, I went printer shopping about a month ago and have had to return no less than THREE other brands of printers in that short period of time. What a hassel. I've learned that extra features are only good when they ACTUALLY WORK! I've had the Epson 545 less than a week and already can't live without it. I've learned my lessson. Epson does it right.
Love this printer and wi-fi capability - and love the scanner too. Only flaw is that I must connect it directly to my answering machine to get faxes when I'm not home. I have these two devices in two different rooms so this is a problem - but the only one!
I think this is a solid product, it has everything I need, and on top of all, it was a lot cheaper than I thought a printer with this specs will be, high five for you epson!!!
I have found that the Epson 545 has outperformed any of the other printers I have owned. It is by far much faster and print is much clearer and more bold. I would highly reccomend it to anyone. I bought it mainly to print my photos that I have taken.
