Epson EcoTank ET-2400 Wireless Color Printer

I love that this printer comes with step by step set up instructions. Super easy to fill, super economical, and prints at a pace I pretty much expect from this kind of printer. Decent quality printing. During set up, it offered to connect to home wifi. I began set up and it insisted it was not discoverable on my network and asked if I wanted to redo the password. I clicked “no” since I know it’s correct. It asked if I wanted to do direct wifi set up, I clicked “yes”. I didn’t really want that, but even that was not working. I hopped on my computer, opened up my wifi router info to see and, low and behold, it showed as connected to my home wifi. I then looked up the printer via wifi since using a cable is NOT possible on my computer and found it. Connected successfully via wifi on my computer even though it said it was not discoverable, but now my phone… my phone wanted to direct connect and I’m like yeah no. So I opted to input the IP address on the printer and that worked to connect my phone to the printer via wifi rather than direct connection, so now I don’t have to incessantly open the app. Needless to say, that was a whole annoying process. I’m not that tech saavy and was able to figure it out, but the amount of stupidity I had to go through to make it connect through the home wifi was ridiculous. If you struggle to connect to wifi, try manually connecting the router by either pressing the WPS button on the router or (what I had to do on my Arris) by logging into my router, navigating to connected devices, and hitting PAIR under the WPS connection, then go to your printer and hit the WIFI button. Give it a couple minutes but it should connect and then you’ll see the IP address for your printer there too… at least you should. Anyways I bought this KNOWING that it had notorious connectivity issues but willing to deal with it for the price point. So far so good. I did read a warning when troubleshooting to never let it do an update and cut the power/turn it off as that can mess it up and make it unresponsive, possible permanently. Yikes. But I’m glad to be rid of the old ink cartridges that cost astronomical sums. I feel like the ink in those are less and less, I was printing fewer items and replacing them faster than ever, made no sense. The price for this was worth being free from those cartridges! Seems user-friendly, scans well, ink levels are easy to see, although the tank protrudes weirdly in my opinion, regardless how petty that seems. I will update if anything remarkable happens in the coming days/weeks/months.

I liked that this printer refills with bottled ink , no cartridges. Prints good enough for my usage. Mostly printing bl&w documents.
However, it constantly quits printing halfway through a page and drops the wi-fi signal. All documents have to be saved as a pdf. It’s a Super annoying printer. I have found it very difficult to use. I have used and set up several other printers with no issues. I had high hopes but I think it’s a let down. I gave it 3 stars bc when it does actually print it’s decent.

I have tried multiple printers for my home office. They would work great at beginning and later would just stop for no reason. The epson has proven to be reliable! The ink well is great. No more cartridges to replace. The speed and ease can’t be matched. It is wireless and can print directly from my phone if needed. I love it!

The size is right and ease of use is dead on right. Not a high tech person. If it’s not easy I’m not interested. Maybe a big dollar is best, I don’t know but I do know this is a good quality in home printer.
