Epson Expression Home XP-2100

Was helping an old couple get their printer working. Is such rubbish. Poor english, required two apps to install to my iPhone for setup. Needed chatGpt to tell me the correct buttons to press to enable connection to an AP, as neither the printed instructions nor Epson’s infuriating online guide was correct.

DO NOT BUY! – Complete garbage. Printed 3 or 4 pages successfully then printed lines only. Had to run the print head test so many times to fix the issue that i ran out of ink. Re-filled with black, only to learn that it needs every colour to print black and white. Wish i looked on product review prior to purchase and problem solving. Will not buy an epson product again out of principal.

Epson XP-2100 series Printer is a Rip-Off – Designed not to allow Black ink printing IF any colour ink is empty. Micro chip on the front of the ink cartridges do not know how much ink remains. It appears that the Micro chip may only serves to let the printer know when the ink cartridge was installed. Won't print unless you buy new ink. Show details

Good printer – I love this printer as easy to set up and fast printing. Such a shame it isn't easy to change cartridges and get on using it. Too much time wasted pushing button afterwards and it telling you to change the cartridge! This is the only fault and the reason I wouldn't buy again. Show details

Good price – I purchased this product last week. I needed a simple printer with easy setting and wifi connection. This is easy to operate and perfect home printer. Scanner is bonus feature.

Excellent printer and scanner – This easy to operate and super efficient printer and scanner very affordable and inexpensive is perfect for a home printer, compact size for easy storage, highly recommend this for the family Show details

Does everything unless you need to print with it – I found this printer easy to set up with wifi and my computer, it printed ok at first. However, it won't print even in black and white (greyscale) even when you select it, unless all the cartridges are full. When I don't use it for a while, the cartridges slowly drain, so it's almost never ready to print. The cartridges are also difficult to… Read more

exchange, as they like to hide under a cover when you open the printer, and you have to push some buttons to catch them in the open. Will get rid of this printer and buy one that has better ratings here. I realise my 1-star review isn't going to change things, as it's already on 1.3 out of 5 stars. Congrats, Epson: Excellent strategy to lose customers!

Cartridge selling scam, avoid! – This printer is complete garbage. I just replaced all ink cartridges , at 90 dollars, and after printing one page I get the prompt telling me I need to replace the cartridges. It hangs on the prompt and there is nothing you can do. Printing in Black and white mode has been made complex, instead of just click a button.

The worst printer I ever had.If you are not using it for a month or so,problem with cartridges – Terible and headache.not satisfied at all.NOT RECOMMENDED Waste of money. Show details

Epsom XP-2100 Rubbish – I bought the Epsom XP-2100 from Harvey Norman. It is the worst printer I have ever plugged in. The instructions are atrocious. Scanning and Printing need separate PC apps. You are not told this in the instructions. It has a scan and print directly mode which is pointless having because most of what you are copying is not there - it only prints out a few black marks here and there. It will be going back to Harvey Normal tomorrow for a refund. Show details

XP2100 Might as well throw your money in the gutter – Difficult to set up, despite step by step instructions. Prints washed out colours Black Ink is sketchy and faded Despite a cheaper Epson option and getting what you pay for, you wont even get a basic printer. Show details

From the day I bought it, this printer only caused me frustration and made me loose my time – First, it took a good amount of time to set it up. Then ok, it was working. But then once one cartridge ran empty, and I bought a whole epson original cartridge pack just to change the magenta color, the printer cannot recognize the cartridge. And surely there is no official support in epson's website for this problem. I have followed all correct… Read more

steps to change it. And it is not working. I have bought it less then a year ago. I hope to get a refund on the printer and cartridges.

Horrible machine to try to set up – Nothing works properly. Is connected to Wifi but wont remotely print. Have to use cable which I didnt want. Terrible instructions. Can't find proper support. Unusable Show details

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! – Was given this printer new with the purchase of a new laptop. Was quite difficult to set up and instructions were so basic and uninformative. Used it twice to print a total of 8 pages. The third day it WOULD NOT TURN ON. Told to take it kilometers away and wait 10 days to fix it. Through it in the BIN. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. What a drain on the planet. Show details

Absolute Garbage – After 20+ years of using epson products buying this has been an absolute mistake. Print head needs constant cleaning and now after 3 months black head won't print at all. I have used more ink cleaning the heads than actual printing.... Show details

DO NOT – In average you will print 5 pages and then YPU MUST CHANGE ALL CARTRIDGE EVEN if you want to print black and white you can not You will spend around 50$ to print 5 pages everytime WWhen you change Cartridge ( all of them) you need to clean the heads and half of your cartidge will go away Show details

Absolutely terrible product: Epson XP-2105 printer – XP-2105 printer. Bought this printer a bit more than 1 year ago. Still available for $55. Nothing but heartburn and trouble. Waste more paper getting it to print than actually print on. Haven't used for about 6 weeks, now won't print. Did everything. Showed low ink when I haven't used any colour for a long time. Epson Aus service said replace… Read more

all cartridges. Spent 150% the printer cost to put new cartridges in at $71. Still wont print. Service said clean heads. 3 times. Did it again. Still wont print black. Service said print heads need replacing. Told me to take it to a service agent. Agent says $120 just to look at it, plus anything else they want to charge me for. Buy this or any other Epson product at your own peril. It would have been cheaper to buy a whole new printer every time I needed to print anything.

Worst printer I've ever used – I have moved house and now the printer won't connect to anything. I have tried following the set up menu and even used their website and still nothing works. Literally biggest waste of money buying this printer I have ever spent.

Inconsistent. Fails regularly – Is annoying and inconsistent. Try to print the same document on different occasions and it is a different size or format for no apparent reason. Should be simple but isn’t. Show details

Just throw it out, you have lost – It comes with a black cartridge which is full, and empty colour cartridges. So the problem light flashes immediately. Salesman said, Oh they all do that. It my print a page, maybe two, thats it. Good news is they fit in your garbage bin for easy pick up. Show details

It is not a printer. It is a garbage – Not working at all. I do not know how are we idiots to buy such things. It is so slow, not working properly and of course inks are done in 20 papers. Show details

Struggles to do the bare minimum – This is one of the worst printers I've purchased. Wireless printing is painful at the best of times, it will print one document, but then drop its connection and go missing on the network and will need to be restarted. It doesn't use native iOS or Android drivers, so requires you to use Epson's proprietary apps (which are terrible). Refuses to… Read more

print anything when any of the ink cartridges are 'empty', and will routinely ignore instructions to only print in B&W and instead print in colour because it apparently just feels like it.

Worst ever – I bought the printer and the inks were empty, I spent like 2 weeks waiting for a replacement of those ink. It was finished at 10 pages, I said it’s ok and bought the XL ink for all colours. The yellow one were empty after 30 pages and the others colours after 40 pages aprox. Plus the quality of printing is horrible If you want to expend all your money in inks for a cheap printer… this is the one that you need. Garbage  Show details

Worst printer that I ever used – This is the worst printer that I have ever had. The setup is confusing. I bought the printer at Tescos. The printer cartridge that came with it literally lasted less than 10 A4 pages - this is ridiculous! It constantly wants to connect you to the Epson support and lure you into buying real Epson cartridges which cost more than the printer. I… Read more

will simply throw it away and buy another make - cannot even be bothered to go through all the hassle of returning it.

Epson 2105 - worst printer – Epson 2105 - worst printer ever, dont buy as initially printer works well after few months it doesnt connect via wifi and when tried calling the technical support in Phillipines they tell us do the technical steps then tell us Sydney HO will call us or email. Epson does not replace faulty printer but the technical people tell us waist our time in… Read more

troubleshooting and then it seems they dont care about the customers and laugh in the background on the phone.. Epson Australia must stop routing calls to Phillipines for technical support...... Think before buying Epson product...

OMG 10 pages ink empty – Worked ok, setup painfull but worked Printed 5 pages, turned off for 1-2 months Trying to get it to work again was very painfull, i think it nozzl jetted it self to running on empty. Watched the black in go from 505 ink to 15% ink printing 1 simple page

Piece of garbage – Absolute waste of money. Features are almost non existent, although you expect that in a cheap printer. Supplied ink cartridges started showing 'low on toner' after only a couple of uses - replaced with new cartridges and now it won't recognise them at all. It's too light to use as a doorstop or a boat anchor, and as a printer it's pathetic. Garbage product. Show details

Shocking – I have been up all day trying to set it up. I’ve downloaded all the Epsom Print apps, I’ve changed ink cartridges in which it says it’s still working. I’ve followed all the instructions to set up the wifi still refuses to connect. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. It’s absolutely worthless. Very upset for having bought this.  Show details
