EpsonEcoTank ET-3850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scanner, Copier, ADF and Ethernet – The Perfect Printer Home Office,WhiteECOLOGO

This printer is a game-changer! Instead of constantly replacing cartridges, it uses refillable ink tanks that last for months. We've been using it for months now and still haven't needed to refill. Highly recommend this top-rated printer!

I had to replace my 12 year-old HP 8600 and I was reluctant to do so but the print head went on it and I just had to give up on it. This Epson with color tank refills seems to be the most inexpensive effective choice for our needs and so far I’ve been happy with it. I just wish that the control panel was as nice as the HP’s was. I tried using it to print a photograph of my friend‘s dogs and it came out beautiful.

My experience truly defies belief. First, I should say that although I am by no means a technical wizard, I generally have little difficulty in setting up computers and other electronic products. I have spent much of today trying to set up my new EPSON-3850 "all-in-one" printer without success.The instructions are completely inadequate. At the outset, EPSON tries to induce the customer to download a so-called "smart panel app," which it claims will guide the user through the set-up process. What this app in fact does is try to sell the user various subscriptions costing up to $4 per month. The app contains no information on setting up the printer beyond what is in the printed instructions.Very early in the process, the instructions refer the user to directions on the tiny LCD screen,which is difficult to read. The "smart panel app" is simply a deceptive effort to sell additional expensive services to the consumer.One of the first instructions is to "open the scanner unit." I opened the first panel leading to the glass screen on which copies of documents are made. I tried to open that panel to get to what I assumed was the "scanner unit," but was unable to do so. After spending an undue amount of time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, I called Epson support. {The phone number is not easy to find.)My call was answered quite quickly, but that was of little use since the person I spoke to could not speak understandable English. That is no exaggeration; his accent was so heavy that I couldn't understand almost anything he said. I asked to me transferred to another person, but that did not produce an understandable response. Since it was clear I was getting nowhere, I hung up and called again.The second person to whom I spoke had a slightly better command of English, but only slightly. I told her what my problem was, but I was able to understand almost nothing she said after that. Again, I want to emphasize that I am not Henry Higgins looking for someone who speaks like a princess. I have no objection to foreign accents; indeed, my parents were immigrants and spoke with a German accent. But this was not a matter of an accent, but basic comprehensibility.Though I am generally reluctant to be so blunt,I told the woman to whom I spoke that I needed to speak to someone who spoke English. I was put on hold,and after a longish wait a gentleman who could speak the language came on the line.It didn't take him long to solve my problem. Both panels leading to the scanner have to be lifted at the same time. A line or two to this effect in the instructions could have saved me hours of frustration and wasted time.I filled the ink bins without difficulty, but soon faced the problem of connecting the printer to my computer. Following the steps to do this by Wi-Fi, I was soon asked for the password for my network. I would have been glad to provide it, but no keyboard appeared and there were no instructions as to how one was supposed to enter the password. I decided to connect the printer to my computer via a USB cable. But there were no instructions as to where on the printer the cable was to be connected and, if a port exists, I couldn't find it. I reluctantly concluded at about 6:30pm that I would have to call Epson support again, a call that I thought was timely since help was said to be available through 7 or 8 pm California time, and I'm in New York. But I got a recording saying that Epson Support was closed, noting that its hours of operation had been shortened. I think one can imagine how propitiated I was by Epson's recorded apologies for the "inconvenience."I can only conclude that, having made a sale, Epson is totally indifferent to whether or not people can actually use the machinery they have purchased at no small expense. My recommendation is not to buy.

Fantastic printer! Highly recommended

I'M OVER THE MOON ABOUT THE QUALITY, FEATURES & SETTING OPTIONS OF THIS COPIER, PRINTER, SCANNER. WELL WORTH THE MONEY IN MY OPINION.

Am really enjoying my Epson ET-4850, had previously purchased a ET-3850 and encountered the scanner unit being stuck in the open position. Amazon along with seller Tech and Beyond were super to credit me. I went with Amazons choice the ET-4850 and love it.

Printer crapped out so this day and age you don’t repair them you replace. Read a bunch of reviews and this one was rated high. This printer has tanks that you fill instead of changing cartridges and boy they go a long way without refilling, matter of fact we have owned this for months and still have not had to fill with more ink. Highly recommend.

Awesome printer !! Great quality printing !! The savings on ink is terrific !! We are in our late 70's so had our son set it up !! I can print from my cell phone also !! Love the printer !!
