We've had this printer about 5 months on a Windows 7 laptop, and it's just had light use. All was well until recently when the printer displayed the message 'firmware update available' on the lcd screen, and refused to do anything until this was dealt with. There was no option NOT to install the update. When the printer was new I had disabled all updates on the computer via the Epson software, so I was annoyed now to find that that this had not also disable the printer's ability to download firmware updates itself! As I had no choice, I let the printer instal the firmware update. This seemed to have messed up the PC's Epson software though, as it now thought the printer was offline,

Great printer. Cheaper than a lot of office printers and does a great job printing black and white or colour printouts fast. I like how the paper is hidden away rather than stuck up out the back bending over like most home printers. The duplex printing is also a bonus. I bought extra inks after some reviews say that the ink that comes with it doesn't last long but 100 printed pages later, about 30 in colour, and it's still printing fine. Setup is a breeze if you have an optical drive, which I did on one laptop. For any PCs with no optical drive downloading the driver and following the online instructions can be a pain as you may miss a driver (there are about 5). I found it easier to just rip the driver disc to ISO,

I had a professional printer with all in one including fax, scan tray, automatic 2 side printing etc so I came from top spec to mid range naturally I am bias and noticed a difference. I think the printing quality is not overwhelming, it's ok it's neat but not the best I've seen. However I bought it because it's compact the ink is cheap and as I don't print much that's the best solution. The feeding paper system is a bit of a pain and sometimes hit and miss but if you don't print much, like me, that should not be a bother. All in all it does it's job but not the most convenient. Installing...well...I mean I use it on mac and windows but there is a huge difference between the systems...a lot of apps and drivers needed.

I've had an Epson printer for years, but it was getting very poor at colour printing, so I bought this one, having looked at various Epson & HP printers. It's a little bit smaller than my old printer, good news, otherwise it's what you'd expect from a company who know how to make good quality printers. *However*, it's *nothing like* as user friendly as my old one for scanning! Bog standard, don't care how it comes out, scans are easy enough, but if you want to adjust contrast / brightness or enhance an old photo's quality... that's all tucked away where the sun don't shine! So, "nil-poit" as they say in the Eurovision Song Contest for user-friendliness. If you fancy one of these printers,

Bought this model to replace Epson Photo R 422 giving very high quality photo's for many years with Win 7 on Dell Isperon 530 until unrequested (not wanted) auto Win 10 update by MS.Win 10 did not work on the 530 despite many hours work so bought Dell Optiplex 7010...10 WIN 10 on which the Epson R 422 is not supported so bought Epson XP 5105 which is good on text but dreadful on A4 photo' printing giving a 'pink' haze over the photo.Tried all types of photo paper at great expense to see if his situation could be respolved but, together with advice from main Epson suppliers, togther with an email to Epson to which I had no resonse I am having to consider purchasing an other printer.Any advice would be grealy appreciated !!!

With working from home I needed a printer and my old one decided to stop working. I did my research and decided this met my needs and was in stock. It is the new version of my old printer which I had for years and found good.This was a little tricky to set up, I almost got there as a technophobe but my husband had to do it in the end.Print quality is good and ink cartridges are easy to replace. They are individual colours too so are more economical in the long run.Easy to use with wifi connectivity and I have been able to print off my android phone as well.Really good value for money. It comes with ink already but not a huge amount just enough to get you started.

Arrived promptly as expected in excellent condition. Psper instructions poor; but using the web link which was in instructions it was easy to set up on mac & windows. Mac very easy via wifi but windows via USB. It took over 1h to set up ~ the BLACK ink cartridge was a bad fit/connection. The ReadyInk Amazon DRS was not obvious; this I managed via google and even then not obvious. This could have been better documented or hyperlinked from ANAZON's page. But from EPSON it was possible.Oh! and automatically pay-as-you-go via Amazon Dash Replenishment is a tad overexpendive when you can buy a pack of 4 inks for price of individuals

My last printer died on me when I bought a new desk top, so decided to buy an All in one. I don't print lots of documents so was looking for a reliable home printer at a reasonable price. The set up process was straight forward both using a USB cable and wi-fi printing from my android phone. the print and scan quality is more than adequate for anything I will ever print and the will include photo's and letter quality prints. All in all this is a great home printer, my only dislike so far is the paper load system, its a little bit flimsy and clumsy, but for the price this is a wonderful machine.

This new Epson replaced an old one. After so many years the price remained the same which was good but I wish I had made an investment in a better model. I only really wanted something very simple but I am confronted by so many features that in all honesty I don't really anticipate using. I cannot afford the time learning everything, I cannot be bothered. I had trouble setting things up but that I accept was probably down to me and not the machine. Print quality is both good and quick. I guess it is a good machine but I wish it was simpler. I'm dreading the replacing of the ink cartridges.

Really pleased with this printer.After much research we picked this one and it doesn't disappoint!Brilliant print quality and SO easy to use, if really is is proof to be honest. Scan and copy features do what they say on the tin.The Epson print app works fantastically too and the wifi feature is great and we have had no connectivity problems. Very easy to set up and very easy to change the ink too.It is relatively quiet, quick printing and fantastic 2-sided print option too.I would highly recommend for people wanting a decent home printer for moderate use.

Can't fault the Epson Expression Home XP-5105 for value for money, bought it after my trusty Samsung Colour Laser gave up the ghost! I was looking at replacing it with another laser but having retired as a club secretary, I no longer required the bulk printing as before plus my scanner wouldn't work on my Windows 10 pc on the network!I liked the small footprint of the Epson all in one, it was reasonable in price and did everything with the additional advantage of being wireless! Seemed a no brainer and I haven't been disappointed yet! ;)

My XP610 died after it decided that it had done the arbitrary number of copies. So I looked around for another printer. Of course none of the new models use the old ink cartridges. I chose this as its Epson cartridges were not the most expensive (still pricey) and it uses separate cartridges for black and the three colours. Set up was a breeze using an online programme. None of the sin makes of printer got rave reviews. I had thought of buying a Canon but stayed with Epson as we already have the iPrint apps on our iPads and iPhones.

I need my printer to work wirelessly with MacOS, iOS and Windows 10 devices. This no doubt explains why the setting up process presented something of a challenge! Or it did to me.However, once achieved the results are excellent. The output both in colour and monochrome is fast and good quality. The Epson cartridges are not cheap, but compared with my previous printer (Canon) running costs are very reasonable, even more so with alternative cartridges from Amazon. The copy function also works very well. Good buy at a very good price.

I like the look of this. The print quality is great too. The seller was really helpful and got back to me really fast when I had some questions. I was able to install everything but I prefer a set up card, rather than having to watch videos. Maybe you could have both? It just took me a while but maybe that's because I'd been having trouble with my lap top too. The set up is actually easy once you have the instructions to hand. I am really happy with it so far and have managed to set up all my devices to print easily.

Excellent replacement for an aged printer (Epson) which although still working well, was no longer fully compatible with Win10. First time I’ve had a WiFi printer but it was very easy to set up straight from the box. So far so good, all straightforward and working well. Great print quality with the supplied inks to set up. Time will tell of course. Rather unfortunate that the cost of a set of original replacement ink cartridges is almost as much as a new printer. Must try compatible ink suppliers.
