Total Disappointment

This printer is a total waste of $$$. I have to turn the printer off and then on again just to print, and I can't scan because it always says Communication error, check the connection? Funny thing about it is that my wifi router is right next to this printer. This will be the last Epson printer that I purchase.
The printer is great! But the setup instructions are very confusing and scattered. With the help of Gemini and YouTube we finally got it all set up. Instead of easy to follow step-by-step instructions, the instruction sheet has you flipping around here to there so many times, it’s crazy. I would like to work for Epson just to improve on their instructions! Nice printer though!
If I were able to carry this thing outside, I would heave it over the hill ! The ‘window’ is so small, I have to use a magnifier to see it..the user buttons are not marked and make no sense..it was a gift..it has taken a month of messing and worry to get it online with my WiFi and still will not allow printing from my iPad…Today's ‘registration is another attempt to get it to print.
I see a lot of the reviews talking about poor connectivity but I haven't had that issue at all! However, I have had issues with the paper jamming often and the paper holder really is small. The ink is cool though and lasts a long time. It's also cool that you can print using the app from just about anywhere.
I bought this to replace an earlier Epson scanner printer that worked rather flawlessly in terms of wireless connectivity and performance quality. What a disappointment! Despite the new iPhone app, which is "nice," the wireless connectivity to my computer was unpredictable and spotty at best. I figured when I purchased a brand new computer, the problem would go away. It did not! Epson needs to work on their connectivity and connectivity software.
