I bought this because my previous Epson was bleeding me dry in ink costs. This priinter has been a piece of crap since it came out of the box. I have not been able to print more than a couple of pages because the printer will not maintain the wifi password entered. I have reset the network settings at least 20 times, going thru all the steps to enter the network password (2 separate networks, extremely strong signal and high speeds available), yet the printer will only give me maybe a page or so every 4-5 resets. Junk!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I should have listened to the reviews I read. I wanted a printer that does double-sided printing, and I didn't have a lot of money. Reviews said the screen on the printer was too small, and they complained about what you have to do to draw in the tray after printing. Why on earth would any company make a printer with a 1" screen? We aren't Superman with his better-than-cat-like vision. And with all the room on the front panel, why not put a button for one-touch drawing in of the tray? Did middle-schoolers design this thing? And then there are the wifi connectivity issues. It fights to connect, making scanning and other tasks a chore. This is a lousy printer. If you have to fight with a printer, being inexpensive isn't a good enough reason to buy it.

This printer replaced an XP-640, which was inexpensive but required a lot of maintenance and guzzled ink. The ET-2980 was a cinch to set up and connect to wi-fi. Filling the ink tanks was quick, clean, and easy. I love the self-adjusting print quality feature. My only complaint is the control panel window is so tiny it can be difficult to read. Otherwise, it's perfect for my home office.
I just bought this and the scanner is broken. I now have to figure out how to file a warranty claim to get it replaced. Buyer beware.

I had several HP printers that lasted maybe up to a year each, and I was so frustrated that I felt it was time to try another brand. After researching online and reviewing all the printers available, I decided to try Epson. It was a smart move. I have had no problems with printing, adding paper and adding new ink. It was a smart purchase.
Horribly designed! The little screen is impossible for the elderly to see, connectivity is atrocious and this is the worst product I've ever purchased
