Has a long cable, looks nice, but slowed my Epson DS-510 scanner considerably (USB 2.0). Moved scanner to another port directly on pc, problem solved.

My advise is to spend another $100.00 and get a real flatbed scanner that will scan slides, real photos, black and white negatives and anything else. I bought a Epson Perfection V-550 and love it. I gave my Wolverine to the Rescue Mission. It was awful!

Very nice scanner.  Printer is marginal due to frequent jamming issues and paper alignment issues.

This scanner worked well for about 2 months and now it does not even work with the usb connected!! i have tried to get epson support to help and these people don't even speak good english with the audacity to enjoy having you on the phone for hours troubleshooting and will not replace this faulty scanner! good luck!

I purchased the Canon CanoScan 8400F in the hopes of scanning about a thousand 35mm negatives, but I no longer think this is possible.  After scanning the first 5 rolls, my experiences are as follows:  First, in "automatic" mode the scanner is unable to determine, about 70% of the time, which positions in the tray actually contain film (each position takes over a minute to scan resulting in wasted time).  Next, after waiting 15 minutes for a scan, the resulting pictures (of the negatives that ARE present) are too dark about 30% of the time, requiring a re-scan (after manually configuring the brightness or sometimes just pressing the scan button [for 2 seconds] again).  Next, about 10% of the time the scanner doesn't seem to know the dimensions of the plastic tray, and the resulting pictures end up needing to be manually cropped to remove parts of the tray.  About 5% of the time, after walking away and coming back 15 minutes later, a popup message on the screen says that the scanner found no negatives in the tray, when 8-10 were actually present (and were properly aligned).  In "automatic" mode, sometimes I also ended up with a picture of the tray itself, instead of scanned negatives (perhaps the scanner didn't detect the backlight).  About 90% of the time, it was impossible to remove all of the dust from the negatives, requiring another re-scan or editing of each photo before printing.  After this experience, I am very glad that I now use a digital camera, because scanning negatives has not been a positive experience.

Got this as an upgrade for my 4 year old HP d5000t desktop. It looks nice but every time I plug in my new WD 3.0 usb My Book Essential external HD, it says it would work faster if I plugged it into a usb 3 socket - but it is plugged into a usb 3 socket! Talk about frustrating.

The only way it works is to go into my devices and uninstall it, then disconnect the plug, then do a "search for new hardware" and let it reinstall, then plug it in and it works for the duration of the session. But upon the next boot, its gone. Even when it works it isn't very fast. It only averages about 25 mbps transfer rate. My usb 2 is only 5 mbps slower. Maybe it just doesn't like my old computer because I see others have had success with it. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it does work, barely, and it may just be my system isn't a good match. I'm returning it after trying countless reinstalls of the driver, etc. I'll try another version of a usb 3 plug and see if it's the card or my computer. Good luck to others.

I was using an Epson 3170 Photo scanner. This V800 didn't scan any better than my old 3170, and it crashed my DELL windows 10 system continually. It also wouldn't do old negatives at all. My old 3170 does them just fine.
After many crashes and many other problems I sent it back.
I REALLY wanted this to be a great photo scanner, but in my opinion, it isn't any better than my old Epson and (at least this copy) had some type of internal problems.
A big disappointment.
I hope it works better for you.
I still believe in Epson and will probably buy a replacement model closer to my 3170.
BTW: Amazon's customer service is just the best. Period!

Pretty nice device, but paper jams regularly for me (even on single-sided prints). I will try different paper and possibly re-write in the future.

print is fine but I cannot get the wireless scanner to work with my computer. I've tried re-installing the driver several times from the disc or Epson website but the scanner app just cannot connect to the system. I searched for solution on Epson and online, and found on following microsoft community - apparently I'm not the only one with this problem and don't think there's a solution to this.

When I try to scan using regular USB cable, the scanning is really slow as well. I had a much older all-in-one from Lexmark that I replaced with this and even that Lexmark scanned much faster.

We didn't start using the scanning until about 2months into it and unfortunately for us, now we can't return this product anymore.

Print quality is OK, but scanner and copier results from the sheet feeder are always crooked.  The scans aren't just tilted, they're actually warped--each page is noticeably slanted at the top, then gradually gets a bit straighter towards the bottom.  The de-skew setting helps somewhat with scans, but does not completely eliminate the distortion...and since the copier function doesn't have a de-skew setting, copies are always still crooked.

Also, the HP Scan software only allows scan settings from 75 to 300dpi, not the 1200 dpi promised in the item description.

I was so pleased with my experience with Epson printers that I thought I would give their flat bed scanners a try.

One Year Limited Warranty

Do Not Attach the USB cord until the software has been installed.

This is not the one with the plastic negative holder doo-hicky.  That is the Perfection V370.

The box contained the scanner, an AC adapter, a 2.0 USB cord and two software CDs.  One of the CDs was for MAC OS (10.5.8, 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x).  Because I don't have a computer that runs any of these I cannot tell you anything about them.

The second CD is for machines running Microsoft OS (Windows 7, Vista, XP Professional x64, and Windows XP).  The machine I loaded it on runs Windows XP SP 3.  I let the CD do it's install rather than making any custom decisions.  It installed the scanner driver and the Epson Scan utility.

Probably my experience with this scanner is colored by the fact that I need it to work with legacy software and equipment.  I rolled back the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Nuance-PaperPort-v12/dp/B002YR0F4I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Nuance PaperPort v12</a>&nbsp;(horrid software, look at the reviews) to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/ScanSoft-R-PaperPort-Deluxe-8-0/dp/B000099O3F/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">ScanSoft(R) PaperPort Deluxe 8.0</a>&nbsp;and I'm going to ride it into the ground.  The Epson scanner works with it but it requires some tolerance on the part of the operator.  For instance after pressing the PDF button or the Scan button on the top of the scanner I had to minimize the Paperport desktop to find the scan utility window.  At no time did the scan utility appear as the top window.

The CD had a copy of&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Abbyy-FineReader-9-Express-Edition-Old-Version/dp/B001V9AZZO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Abbyy FineReader 9 Express Edition [Old Version</a>].  I had ABBYYfine 6.00 from a previous scanner installation and never used it so I doubt if I will use version 9, which is a limited version of the software.  There's an attempt to upsell to the Pro version which I ignored.

MediaImpression from Arcsoft is also available for image editing.  I'm leaving that from someone else to review. I'm satisfied with my image editing software.

The scanner is no slower than the one it replaced.  It has a lot higher dpi which is nice for scanning photographs but really an extra for me. I'm using it to archive so family photos.

No real trouble with the scanner set up and use.  The software probably needs to be worked with more to make a better assessment but I'm pretty sure it is basic considering the reasonable cost of the overall package.

I think if I was doing it over again that I would opt for the V370 with the built in transparency unit for slides and negatives.

This scanner promised more features and better resolution for a lower price than the competitors, so I figured I'd try it out... The software is very good and easy to use.  The first scan I did turned out great!  But after the first couple weeks, the scans became progressively worse and the scanner slower and slower.  I find spots on my images and the resolution is much worse than promised. May be fine for the general email a pic type use, but if you want to do any photo editing or have photos good enough to scan and print, spend a little more and get a better scanner.

This is a decent slide scanner, but it takes some work for good scans.

First, you need to pre-sort your slides and group by exposure.  Sunny, bright slides in one stack, dark slides in an other and mixed in another.  The scanner lets you adjust brightness and color - but to constantly change this is a pain.  If you pre-sort, you can adjust once per set.

Next - slides MUST be clean. Have a soft brush and a blower handy. Slides are crud and dust magnets, and they'll deposit this stuff in the scanner.  I scanner 50 slides before I realized an eyelash wound up on the scanner light.

Clean the scanner every few scans - you can turn the scanner on so the screen shows you any dirt or crud.  The included cleaning tool works well, but I sound I also have to use a blower.

This is the nature of slide scanning - that's why scanning services charge so much. And you still get crud in the images. I've paid 50 cents and $1.50 per scan. The results are not much better than this scanner does.

It's intuitive to use, and scans to an SD card or the computer.  I found that the SD card needed to be formatted by the device in order to work - otherwise it won't save the image.

After using this for a few minutes, you'll scanning like a pro. It literally takes longer to put the slides in the carrier than to scan them.

I uploaded a couple of sample images. These are 20 year old slides.

I had to replace the first one of these I got.  There was a blurry spot on every scan, and whatever was causing it wasn't something that I could fix (i.e. it wasn't a smudge on the glass).  The 2nd scanner didn't have that problem. It works okay, but the slides don't lock into place very well, so sometimes you will scan a slide and get part of the boarder, or the slide will be crocked. Scanning is kinda slow, and I really wish you could access the data on the card immediately while scanning.  Instead, you have to scan the slides, then go and change the mode of the scanner to the USB setting, hook it up to a computer, copy/view the slides, and then go back and re-scan any that didn't come out right.  This was one of the cheaper scanners out there, but for what you get, I don't think it's an amazing deal.

Purchased the printer based on the low advertised ink cost. Print speed is far below that listed in the specifications. A black text document takes 20 to 25 second per page to print (and allow an extra 30 seconds "initiliazation" period prior to first page starting to print).
Printing the on-board demo color page takes a full minute to print even after the initializaiton phase.
When reading a memory card from a kodak camera, the images shown pn the computer's display screen are not sorted, making it difficult to locate the one I want to print. The scan function is not as nice to use as that on the Epson printer which I replaced with this printer. I think I'll keep my Epson just for use as a scanner and to upload camera images from a memory card, using this printer only when I want to actually print or copy something.

Could improve on key strokes needed for some operations.  For the most part the scan it self is super fast.  Should try to do scanning before getting creases in the receipts as they interfere with accuracy.

I like the printing capabilities of this printer.  And the ink price is great!  But I don't really like the scanning functionality.

If you want to scan a legal document in duplex mode using the ADF (automatic document feeder), forget it!  The software will tell you that there is a misfeed when there is not and the device will tell you that paper size is unsupported.  In other words, WP-4530 does not support automatic duplex scanning of legal size papers.  You'll just have to do it manually....bummer!  I wish the engineers at epson could write a better driver for it.  Also, it does have a problem with scanning folded papers...it tends to jam with more than 2 folder papers especially when doing duplex scanning.
