BE WARNED DON'T BUY THIS PRINTER

DON"T BUY THIS. STOPS PRINTING AFTER INITIAL CARTRIDGES USED UP > I REGRET NOT LISTENING TO THE MANY WHO WARNED OF THIS ON THE REVIEWS. It has been 3 months so the seller won't replace or refund and now I am stuck with this defective garbage - even under Epson Warranty I still am stuck with the inconvenience of having to replace it and maybe have the same problem others have warned in these reviews so its not just a one of issue with me - it seems to be the norm with this machine.

Do not buy this printer.  I've never taken the time to write a review before, but decided to do it in this case because of how shoddy this product is.  The print quality is very low and it has constant technical problems (e.g, I just spent the past hour on the phone with Epson because the machine would only print blank pages).  Even when the product is under warranty, Epson will not allow you to return the item for a refund, so if problems start happening after Amazon's 1-month return policy, you're out of luck.  I thought about donating it to a non-profit, but I don't want to pass along the trouble that this printer has been.  Instead I'm going to just run out the ink that's left (assuming it doesn't start spitting out blank pages again) and then toss it.  This printer is a real disappointment.

DO NOT BUY THIS, IT IS JUNK.

The picture quality is pretty good but the software and function of the printer are both awful.

I got this as a Christmas present and it only printed 3 pictures before totally locking up on the fourth. No support on the company website. No information about clearing a photo jam. We called them on the phone and the tech

This makes a rotten and depressing gift. Don't buy it! You've been warned!!!!

Bought this printer in late September 2015 (From Staples).  Printed about 50 pages in the following 3 months and then like everyone else I got the dreaded printhead problem.  When I contacted HP, I showed them these amazon reviews and told them I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER  6830 because of the obvious design flaw. So, they agreed to send me a Officejet pro 8610.  I am hoping the 8610 will be more reliable than the 6830.  If its not, I am going write off the cost of the printer and re-enact the scene from the movie "Office Space" with it.

Although this printer is a dud, it was nice of HP to send me a different model.  However, it's not so nice they are STILL SELLING the 6830, which has an obvious design defect. Stay far away from this printer.

Please do NOT buy this printer! I got one from ebay and it is the most unreliable, frustrating, disappointing printer you will ever own. First, the printer came with the extruders severely misaligned. One was about 2 mm higher than the other, which made the higher extruder utterly useless. second, it refuses to print ABS properly. Yes, I am experienced with many different models of 3D printers. It's not my first. I tried 250, 255, 260 degrees Celsius, NOTHING worked. It refuses to print ABS. then, a few days later, it even stopped printing PLA correctly. I leveled the platform countless times, the problem is that the filament just balls up on the nozzle. Guess what? I replaced the nozzle. Then it printed well for a day or two... and the FEEDER went out. it completely stopped pulling. I wouldn't even sell this printer for scraps for 50 dollars, I'd feel bad for the buyer. This printer, unfortunately, is going straight to the trash for me.

Do NOT NOT NOT buy this printer. Once the color ink cartridges run out you have to replace them all even if you only want to print in black and white. It will not let you print at all until you replace the used color cartridges. this printer is a SCAM!! Im going to throw mine away and buy a different one.

Good features on this printer but stay away unless you want to spend a fortune in ink.  We had to replace the ink shortly after purchasing this printer - and we barely used it.  I chalked it up to the ink may have been sitting for awhile in the printer.  We replaced the ink and probably made about 10 color copies/print jobs and 25 B&W at most.  Now it is asking to change the black cartridge again - and it will not even copy color without the black.  I cannot recommend this product.

Printer worked great for about 3 months! Then I got an error message while turning it on, googled it and it's more common than not the error does not allow you to print, scan, or copy. After contacting the manufacture the best they offered me was a discount on a refurbished printer...negative research this printer before purchase buyer beware! Look up Cannon error 5011!

This printer is terrible.  The print quality is poor even after all the maintenance utilities.  Almost every time it fails to self feed paper and indicates paper jam.  You have to stagger the paper and retry hoping it will suck a piece of paper in and print. NOT WORTH 1$.  I use this in my office and if your like me you don't have time to keep wasting on just getting a printer to print.  Stay away from this!!!!

DO NOT BUY!!!!  HP ARE CROOKS
I purchased my officejet.  At first, the scanner had many issues.  I couldn't scan to email.  I couldn't scan to disc.  I couldn't scan in certain formats.  But the basic printers worked decently.
This printer blows through ink.  After 20 pages of black only, you will need new ink.  It's very very costly.  HP does this on purpose because you can ONLY use HP ink.
Recently, I changed my black ink.  And, suddenly, the printer wouldn't print only black.  I was told that because my printer was just barely out of warranty, that I needed to buy a BRAND NEW ONE!!!  WTF!
All in all - you buy a $150 printer, but the cost of ink is $120 per year (and that's with 25 jobs per year).  Then in 14 months, you will have to buy a brand new $150 printer.  Sounds like a scam to me, HP!

Do not buy this thing.  I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER.

First off, it will test itself for long periods of time whenever you turn it on after being off for a little bit, right when you want to print something, and whenever you've opened the top part (i.e. scanner, copier) or installed new cartridges.

Secondly, it will NOT PRINT ANYTHING if its out of any of the colors.  So, if you're out of a color and want to print in black and white, guess what, that's a no for you.  Are you a graphic designer who knows what colors you can still make if you're out of magenta and want to print with what you have left?  Too bad, no prints for you.

Let's talk about those ink cartridges.  They have chips to them, and the printer even knows when you buy off brand cartridges and it warns you with "You have installed a non-HP ink cartridge and we can not guarantee the quality."  (Expensive cartridges by the way.  ~$67 for CMYK.  When you can get off brand at 20)  Okay, and you seem to not guarantee the quality of your own either.  Oh and how about how I can install new cartridges, and the printer tells me they are empty.  Remove them and reinstall, retry, fail, remove, turn off, turn on, reinstall, and guess what, I now have a full cartridge.  I kept some old cartridges because I knew how buggy this thing was, in which you would be informed, for instance, Cyan is dry, remove it, put your old one (which by the way, was told they are empty despite getting ink on my hands), be able to print, OOOOOR be told the old one is empty, reinstall the newer one and PRESTO CHANGO it has 50% cyan again.  Magically.

If you are looking for regular prints, buy something smaller, simpler, and from another brand.  If you are a graphic designer, like me, just use printing services locally or buy something way more expensive and not HP.  I've had bad printers, bad computers, and bad cameras.  Just take my advice, never EVER buy HP again.

this printer is one of the worst things to ever happen in my life. (jk, but seriously)

bought one back in February for a t-shirt printing business I have, after a friend with the same business recommended it to me. It basically just did whatever it wanted, I would press print and it would just spit the paper out blank or an error message would come up on the screen for a paper jam, which there never was. Heat transfer paper is pretty expensive, and I would say I've wasted about half of the sheets I've purchased because the printer would just stop in the middle of printing and say "the ink cartridge is not recognized" and then spit the paper out. Eventually, I got so fed up and frustrated that I called Epson to complain. I was on the phone with them for over an hour before they were convinced enough to just send me a replacement one. Got the replacement a few weeks ago, and surprise surprise this one doesn't work either. I'm currently on the phone with Epson for the second time today about it and have spoken to 3 people in total. All 3 of them have been talking to me about the wrong printer before I explained a few times that it was the wrong one they were using to help me. After an hour of useless troubleshooting (which I explained that I had tried several times already) one guy tried to tell me that I can't use the 11x17 paper I use and that's why it isn't working. I tell him I've had the same exact printer and been using 11x17 paper the entire time, not to mention the printer has specifications for 11x17 paper on the paper trays and the cassettes. The guy then just told me that he cannot issue me a refund so if I don't want it I should just "throw it in the garbage."

do not waste your time on this printer (or probably any other epson products)

I have had nothing but trouble with this printer. From random paper jams to random toner jams, the printer requires constant fiddling, turning it off and on, taking paper out and putting it back in. Basically it's a nightmare. Don't buy it.

This printer is the worst. The number of times this printer has jammed during duplex printing (with my old computer) is ridiculous. I've wasted so much paper and ink because of it. Then, because my new computer and the printer don't communicate correctly, I have to manually insert the papers back into the tray, which is fine; it's when the printer goes to print the backside of the paper that it messes up. It'll pull up more than 1 paper, so instead of printing page 2 on the back of page 1, it'll print it on page 5 or something. It's so aggravating. I've started going to FedEx to print stuff because they have reliable printers, nice paper, and cheap prices. Don't buy this heap of junk, go with HP or something else.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER!!!!!!!

What a piece of junk. Trouble since day one. had exacrtly one year and have been sitting here for 10 miniutes waiting for new ink to charge up!

Says no paper when full.

Takes forever to start up.

NOT what Canon used to make for printers. My previous at same price point lasted 5+ years flawlessly.

ya know what, I change my mind to DON'T BUY ANY CANON PRINTERS!

They obviously took the business plan of making these disposable instead of reliable!

In fact! I was looking at a new DSLR too! I won't get a Canon ANYTHING I'm so mad at this printer!

So take that canon! You just lost a lifetime of printer, scanner, camera and lens purchases! Don't spend you $69 all in one place!

Do not buy this printer. The paper handing is poor, particularly the closing mechanism of the paper tray and it jams frequently in use. It uses a lot of ink and the ink patrons are expensive. If one of the ink cartridges run empty it refuses to print, even if you want to do a black and white print and you have loads of black ink left. The touch screen is unresponsive and cumbersome to use. I use it from an iMAC (the newest) and the driver installation is a pain and it is unreliable, loosing it,s configuration setting even keeping it locked. Printing is slow. The email scanning options are unreliable if you use it through a router. I bought this printer / scanner due to recommendations from the shop. I do not trust the shop anymore and I won't buy another Lexmark product for a long time. All in all not much to like here.

If I could rate lower I would. This printer continuously disconnects from wifi and refuses to print in B&W if it's out of a single color (this time it was Magenta). This is of course if it decides to even read the fact that there's a new cartridge installed (installed new one last week, have printed nothing in color). Out of the box new it had great difficulty printing straight, and even after trying a different WF-2630 I had the same issue. Suddenly it fixed itself and printed normal for a while and I forgot about it. Then when I printed 40 pages and went to get them, all of them had printed so far off that text was not on the page. This printer has been such a headache that I will never, ever; ever buy a printer from Epson ever again. Likely I'll avoid ANYthing with the Epson name attached. This frustration is over a year after I bought this little ink guzzling money vacuum.
