Outstanding so far….
I’ve done a full 180 degrees about-face on Epson inkjets. I used to be a diehard HP printer guy until HP failed to maintain their driver software compatibility through OS upgrades. HP hardware was excellent; it was painful to throw it in the garbage. My Brother color laser printer had software showstoppers too; I ended up chunking it shortly after a $500+ hardware rebuild.I bought an Epson WF-3540, which uses the old cartridges. I gave it a 1-star review initially because of the extreme hassle of getting it setup and working. As time went by, I kept going back and adding stars because it turned out to be a stalwart. Back when I bought it, inkjets were more expensive with consumables than lasers. Epson inkjets were more economical as inkjets went, even with the cartridges. One thing I learned was to run the built-in maintenance procedures fairly regularly.I went with this ET-5170 because it is Epson, it uses cartridge-free replenishable ink, and it spits out its work into an underneath tray rather than an awkward, flip-out tray. It also feeds paper from an underneath drawer. Those two features make it neater and more compact than the cheaper alternatives. Also, I’m not picking up paper off the floor anymore. I’m hoping that it will hold up well, given its higher price and orientation toward groups, rather than individual use. If my old ET-3540 is any indication, it’ll probably outlast me!Epson has solved their setup problems. Setup was literally like falling off a log. I was actual taken aback by how smoothly it went. I did the setup on Windows 11 and then added a Mac. I just did a macOS upgrade (Sequoia 15.3). No hiccups.The procedure for adding ink is pretty idiot-proof: you can’t put the wrong color in the wrong tank, and you can’t overfill. (The competition is probably just as good in this regard, but the competition isn’t Epson.) When you first turn it on, the ink drops below the full level in the tanks as it self-primes, but you get enough extra ink to more than top it off. Of course, you have to know to have the computers and printer on the same network. I’ll be using Epson ink, just out of loyalty.Print quality is excellent. I haven’t tried photo printing on premium paper yet, so I can’t promise good results on that. If anything goes wrong, I’ll update this review. I’m typing this on 12 Feb 2025.

Best printer ever
This absent echo tank printer is the best printer I’ve ever had in my life. Some people complain about it coming in slowly, but I’m telling you that it is fast enough. Unless you don’t have any patience whatsoever. The print quality is gorgeous and I cannot express the gratitude I have for the amount of ink that I am saving along with the expense of replacing the ink cartridges. I have printed over 500 copies and I don’t think I’m even at 1/10 yet best printer ever.

Does not work with Macs and RESTOCKING FEE
The printer is good, in theory only. For $689.00 I thought this printer would serve all my home office needs and I was so excited to get it, even though the price was higher than I wanted to spend. First, shipping was delayed, so it arrived later than identified. Second, this product does not work with Mac or I-phone products. you can install the program and print (with problems), but scanning absolutely does not work. Also, there is no USB on the printer as a possible work-around this issue either. When I say there was printing problems, I mean that the printing would work sometimes and not others, print hours later, in the middle of the night, stop printing in the middle of a document and then re-start the document. It just became a nightmare. I tried trouble-shooting on-line and moving the printer location in-case it was a Wi-fi issue , nothing. Finally, I just had to decide I had to return it, it just wasn’t functional, consistent, and the printing quality itself was just average. I still had to use my old printer, so why keep this new expensive, do less printer. I asked for a return and got approval- NOTE- if your have full ink-wells, you are advised by shipping company to try to reduce the amount of ink because there will likely be spillage and they can not be responsible for that. Do not fill the ink wells completely until you know you want to keep the product because the only way to get the ink out is by printing and this is a pain given the above mentioned difficulty. I will say this about the printer- the ink usage is phenomenal in the worst way, it takes forever to try to get ink levels down, if it worked the ink savings would have been great! The last piece to this is that the customer service is terrible. I shipped back via Fed-Ex (label given by seller) but you have to pay for shipping and professional packaging which I did to preserve the item’s condition. You have to follow-up with seller for refund, because even if they have the item, they won’t initiate the refund. Lastly, they do not give the full refund, but will create reasons to only give partial refunds. In my case, they offered less than half the purchase price because of a “restocking fee, ” so a the box costs more than half the price of the product itself… I wonder if the box works with Macs because that must be some box!

Works ok
I am a little disappointed in the quality and time to print a high quality paper, if your just printing unimportant papers this is great, but for a photo, get something better. I need to print brochures, double sided, and this machine sucks for doing those.

Great printer, easy setup
This printer is excellent. Easy to setup and prints quickly. The automatic duplex printing (double sided) is a nice feature and works well.NOTE: It does not like cheap, thin paper. You need to use decent quality bond paper. Otherwise an excellent printer
Amazon Customer –
The printer prints well and was easy to set up on both my phone and computer using wifi
Thian –
You can go wrong with this. I have been using this for almost 2 years. Never have to worry about printing colour pages.
David Poulin –
It works on laptops. Good quality printing.

The printer have a lot errors, they made me spend time and money to be able to return it, since they send garbage and even though I am a person with a disability I have to carry heavy loads and carry the product to be returned because of their errors
