 Recommended Home/Office General Purpose Printer & Scanner September 27, 2009

I replaced an older Dell All-In-One printer with the Epson WorkForce 610. I have owned multiple HP all-in-one home/office printers that originally cost $300+. By far, this Epson WorkForce 610 is the best of the bunch.
Setup was easy. I downloaded and installed the latest Epson software from their website. It installed on my Windows 7 laptops very easily. One laptop directly connected to the printer and the other has a wireless connection. In both cases the install, printer discovery, and test prints/scans went well. The software takes longer than expected to install but there were no scary questions or screens so it was just patience.
Setting up the printer to work on my WEP enabled wireless network was easy to do from the printer's front panel. There were front panel diagnostics that allowed me to check if the printer had an IP address so that i could make sure I had the right security keys installed.
The scanner and auto-document feeder work well and are much faster than my more expensive Dell or HP printers. Both a TWAIN and WIA scanner are exposed so it works well with lots of software. For me, interop with Paperport 12 was a must and this has been flawless - much better than the Dell or HP all-in-one printers. I tend to scan 8x10 and legal sizes stuff in the document feeder and that works fine. The adjustment guide only supports A4 & LTR/LGL sized paper so narrower paper may skew when being fed into the auto document feeder.
The paper feed mechanism is on the back of the printer and only holds 100 or so sheets. So good for lighter home / office use versus heavy use. I can easily insert an envelope over the paper to quickly print an occasional envelope. If I were printing multiple envelopes, i would remove the paper, adjust the paper guide to envelope size, and it holds 10 or so envelopes.
Making scans (to PDF, a File, or Email) from the front panel also works well.
I didn't spend much time with the fax as that wasn't important to me.
All in all, the best printer I have owned so far.
Very Good All in One printer September 26, 2009

When i went looking for reviews on this product there were not many except on best-buy and office depot but they did not give much to go on. So, i took a chance and have not regretted it except in price because i spent under a hundred dollars for the hp j4580 which i returned after three days for this one.
I have only had this printer for 2 days but so far so good. Here is what i can tell you as of this review.
Setup was pretty straight forward not much different than my old hp.I setup as usb did not use wireless or Ethernet
Scan quality is good with photos i did not scan a document but i am sure it will do well.
Printing went better than the hp j6500 i tested in the store and against the j4580 and warmed up a lot faster too.
Copying did well as i copy a flier my daughter made and you could hardly tell the difference between the two.
As far as faxing and using the built in network i have not tried but given how everything else works flawlessly i am sure it will do just fine.
Card Readers work great as it did well in reading and printing photos. The only thing is it will not give you that high gloss due to the fact that this printer use pigment ink and the artisan 810 which i did consider(price) uses dye based ink that gives that shine.
The only thing that i did not like is that given the amount of money i spent buying this printer you would think they could have built in a duplex as it only has manual duplex through windows only.
I have an apple computer but i have not tried the drivers for it yet. From the book it states that it support leopard. I have snow Leopard so i will report back as i find out.
Dislikes-
the on and off is not really on and off as it asks you are you sure. Yes i am sure!!! i want to turn you off.
The tray are a little flimsy it works for me.
Oh yeah. No duplex!!! Just manual.
People have said that when ink cartridge runs out of ink the printer will not print. So that will be an annoyance for me but given the price for the replacement it's not that bad.
All in all this is a good aio printer that works well for my needs and i can not complain. The good outweighs the small dislikes about this printer.
Edit/Update:
After installing drivers usb i decided to install via network cable and is working great. The only thing is that i was not aware of is that the software must be install on every pc wanting to use the features of this printer. I am not good at networking but it seems to be the case. Even though i have it via Ethernet cable everyone can connect wirelessly to the printer with no problem. The setup for this was not really hard just follow the screens and that is it.
Because i needed more info i went to their website and found that their trouble shooting tips leaves a lot to be desired.
I have scan documents and pictures and all works great for me.
Printing pictures is nice but i have to admit you to be careful because ink is not that great for pictures. One it takes a while to dry, two if even your finger is a little wet it will see damage(small). But other than that the print quality is very good for documents etc. If you are a person who plan to print a lot of photos then i would say consider the artisan or hp. But is still prints nice pictures. Other than that this is a great printer fitting most of your needs.
Faxing works fine for me.
The only thing that has been a problem is the occasional paper jam but compared to the hp's i took back this is a walk in the park. Since i have had this printer i can count on 1 had the paper jams i had. Another reviewer said that this was an issue but at least for me this has not and i use this printer everyday. Till now this printer does everything i need it to do.

Before i buy this, i researched many reviews and saw actual models at the stores.
Let me say this.
This printer is really easy to set up. easy to set up wirelessly if u just follow the instruction manual. you cant go wrong unless you dont now about computer. This is very noisy unit when you start printing. overall really good buy. I've using samsung laser printer and had refilled the toner but somehow it is not printing well. the fonts are not dark enuf. so i decided to purchase new one rather than getting new toner or fixing it. I compared this one w/ lexmark and canon.
The reason i chose this one over canon is b/c for canon, their color ink ran out even thought you did not really use color ink. Their answer will be "even for black and white, they use color ink for contrast" or something like that.
The reason i chose this one over lexmark is b/c lexmark, their original ink price is really good compare to any other brands. U know how these days printers are cheap and inks are expensive. lexmark ink price is really good but lexmark, they dont allow other companies to make their ink for them. so it is not easy to find their ink unless you go to staples or frys. ink is not that expensive compare to other brands but....
I know most of your biggest concern is the cost of ink long run. right? i know epson has this chip on their cartridge so u cant refill.
[...]
however, there is many online store that sell refillable cartridge or chipper ink for epson. I know it is always best to use from epson original brand but...cost too much.
About duplexing, u dont wanna get duplexing printer anything below $1,000 at least. There is a reason that companies that they dont make auto duplexing. It jams very easily and eventually it will damage your printer and everything. So actually i like manual duplexing over auto duplexing.
In summany,
Pros
1. Cheap for all in one function. Got it from fys for 99.99 Dec 2009
2. Very speedy.
3. Luxuary design
4. well packaging.
5. Easy to set up wirelessly.
6. Easy to update their updated program and driver.
7. paper feeder for fax/copy is very well made. so cool when you open and close.
8. LCD. so it is easy to see
Cons
1. No paper tray
2. Noisy when you first start printing.
3. Could have been little smaller.
4. ink cartridge has a chip to prevent from refilling (just like any other brands nowdays)
5. Ink is 20% more expensive than lexmark. but u can shop online.
"Compatible With Windows 7!" A Solid WiFi Printer October 29, 2009
P. Colin McGraw (Castle Rock, CO)

My first WiFi printer was HP's J6480, which became a frustrating lesson in why the "Certified for Windows" label is important! Vista was just released and I didn't pay attention to the fact that particular HP printer didn't have the "Certified for Vista" label. Sadly, the printer drivers crashed my internet connection, caused blue screens, and a "web printing" plug-in made Internet Explorer unstable. Long story short, I ended up selling the HP printer and buying the "Certified for Vista" Epson Workforce 600 which worked like a dream!
The Epson Workforce 610 is a minor iteration of the already excellent Workforce 600 with its pict bridge port, versatile memory card slots, fast print speeds and color LCD screen, but the 610 does have a few worthwhile improvements. The first major distinction is that the 610 has the official "Compatible With Windows 7" label which is huge if you're buying a computer with Windows 7 or upgrading! Chances are that most "Vista Compatible" printers will work with Windows 7 because the guts of the operating systems are so similar, but buying this printer lets you know for certain that you're buying something that works.
As far as other improvements, standby power usage was trimmed from 5.5 to 2.9 Watts, and the user interface and ease of installation improved slightly, though according the the spec sheet, print speed actually decreased a little bit. I don't mind, however. Unless you print large quantities of long, detailed documents, chances are you won't be able to tell the difference, and the increased energy efficiency makes up for it.
As with most Epson printers, a glaring advantage over the competition is the individual color print cartridges, which allow you to make the most of your ink by swapping out individual cyan, blue and magenta cartridges instead of one big "color" cartridge as with other brands.
The biggest disadvantage compared to competing printers is the top-loading paper tray which I don't like as much a front-loading enclosed tray, and the weak implementation of two-sided printing which is little more than one sided printing where you reload the pages into the paper tray for a second pass. For those features, I give the tip of the hat to HP's closest competitor to the Workforce 610: the Vista-compatible OfficeJet 6500, which has a better paper tray and two-sided printing capability.
Overall this is a great all-in-one printer! The energy efficiency and proven compatibility with Windows 7 make it a strong choice for those looking for a solid, good performing WiFi printer.
Excellent all-in-one printer November 1, 2009

Did a lot of research prior to buying a replacement for my Brother MFC5200C... Was initially hesitant to go with the Epson Workforce 610 due to others' comments about slow print speed, however I am extremely pleased after setting it up and using it. This printer is faster than my Brother was, and I can't imagine needing a printer to work any faster.
Have had the printer for a few days so far, so can't comment on ink usage yet.
Pros:
--Easy setup, to include setting up as a network printer (I went with an ethernet cable connection to my wireless router since it's in the same room). Great to be able to print via the wireless network (was a pain to use the "sneakernet" with USB stick). I followed others advice to download the "combination driver pack" off Epson's website instead of using the installation CD--just follow the printed directions up to the point where it tells you to insert the CD, then run the zip file you got from Epson site. Works great.
--Scanner is fast, and very good for an all-in-one.
--Controls seem easy to use so far.
Cons:
--Nothing significant, although there are some plastic parts that seem like they could break if you are too rough with the equipment (ex. Flip-up stopper on the paper tray). Nothing to be overly concerned about, however.
Bottom line: Very happy with the choice. Highly recommended.
