Epson WF-2500 Series

Randomly won't work – I hardly ever need to use this thing but the scanner is absolute rubbish. The software that comes with the printer is also rubbish. It is connected with USB printer cable that it refuses to recognise and the Wi-Fi connection only works occasionally. Show details

Epson WF2760 cartridge rip off – When the printer works the quality it good. The features and control are relatively easy to use. Conectivity is not an issue. Not satisfied at all as the printer is programmed NOT to work if one cartridge runs dry. Show details

The mobile phone app for WF-2510 is the best – The Anroid app from Epson to operate this printer through wifi is the best app ever, I never plug a cable to print or scan of fax on this printer. Wifi options are giving me all the facilities to get it done from remotly Show details

Happy with previous XP-200 model – I have an Epson XP-200 which was purchased approx 10yrs ago, This has been a brilliant small machine for home & business, unfortunately the scanner has failed & have ordered an Epson WorkForce WF-2510 to replace it, if this turns out to be as good we will be very happy. Show details

Epson should go bankrupt – Prints a few pages then ink cartridges runs out. The most infuriating thing about it all is that you cannot print mono prints if all 3 colour cartridges are not full even though colour cartridges are not used for mono prints. The printer has blatantly deliberately been programmed to force you to replace colour cartridges even when you only… Read more

require black and white prints. There is zero technical reason why colour cartridges should contain ink when printing black only. My strongest advice to everyone out there considering a printer is not avoid not only the WF-2510 but avoid Epson altogether as a brand. It's such a shame the minimum amount of stars I can leave is one - it deserves much less. I sincerely hope Epson goes bankrupt very soon for the benefit of all consumers.

Horrible – From the time I got this printer I've had issues wouldn't print wouldn't connect to wifi had to work on it everytime I had to print. Had to clean and do other things to it. please don'tbuy this. I would not recomend this to anyone. Called customer care and all they could say was it was nothing they could do.  Show details

Waste of time and money – The WF-2530 printer scanner is rubbish. It's been mostly sitting on the desk with minimal printing done. Specific help is almost impossible to obtain from the user guide. I've wasted four new cartridges, paper and hours trying to get it to print in colour. I'll never buy another Epson again. This company needs to produce a better quality product.  Show details

Overley complex – The have over complicated the software for the printer. Every time I have to change a cartridge it plays up and becomes very difficult to get it to begin printing again. Has a hissy fit if you tell it to print the document at actual size. I have owned Epsons for about 20 years. This will be the last one P.S. One star is too many but I could not rate it any lower. Show details

The worst brand of printer on the market – What a terrible printer the ink jets are clogged all the time then you need to do head/nozzle and alignment tests up to 8 times to fix the problem by then you have used all full ink cartridges up and need to buy more and they are not CHEAP !!!! For the same problem to happen a week later so frustrating. Im pretty sure its a money making scheme so… Read more

you have to keep buying more ink because this crap happens with every Epson Printer not just this one its also slow and very unreliable SHAME ON YOU EPSON i will never buy any of your products again and will be sure to warn others.

waste of money! very unhappy – i kknow its warranty finish but only use for couple of times and not even taken 10 print outs in its life.did add new ink but no print outs just papers comming out. try to scan A4 comming in 4 pices when scan the paper! seriously! dont even think about the product  Show details

Omg..never buy Epson again.Rubbish – Ink doesn't last long. Bought new ink and it wont print in black. After wasting time for 2 days trying to fix it then tells me all my colours are empty after printing 5 pages. Are you serious ? Never ever buy an Epson. Save money and go to casino  Show details

Terrible Garbage – This has to be the worst printer I have ever had. Always goes offline, always "Printer in an error state". Just won't print. Also, if one cartridge runs out of ink, you won't be able to print anything (even in black and white (gray scale) until you replace that cartridge. Seriously?? Epson is a terrible company. Never again crap.  Show details

junk – i bought 2 of these printers at same time just over 12 months ago ,, each has used about 2 lots of genuine Epson cartridges , the first printer had a lot of trouble recognising when a new cartridge was install ,, 2nd seemed ok ,, on the first printer ,when the 2nd lot of cartridges were replaced that is when the trouble started ,, it would not… Read more

print black ,, done all the thing with head/nozzle and alinement ,, no such luck ,,purchasing the new cartridges was waste ,,

cartridges are expensive for the amount you can print , to get larger ones , you just about need a bank loan

you would at least expect to get a couple years out of a product and more than 2 lots of cartridges , but as the guy said 13/15 months is all you can expect , then you get hit with the extended warranty , this is near the same amount as a new printer ,, at least you get the $60 bonus with it , which makes it better ,,

I had cannon printers previous to this , the old 4200 series went for years with no faults ,, 2nd cannon lasted about 15 months and came up with the print error fault,

so I went with the Epson , bad mistake there , I thought they were a quality item ,, both have been trouble ,, one is going in the bin ,, other will get the same treatment ,next time it plays up .

I have now bought a hp , so will see how that goes

cannot blame the store , they have to sell products , it is the manufacturer ,,

gets me ,, so many complaints about plastics and other things ruining the planet , but every thing now is throwaway ,,

Waste of money – If your thinking of buying a cheap printer... Do NOT BUY THE EPSON WF 2510. I have had nothing but trouble with it. I have used it about 10 times in 2years and it has cost me so much money in ink, cleaning it and doing maintenance. waste of money !!!!

Worst printer I've had in over 20 years!! – Always jamming. Connection drops out. Goes to sleep by itself so you're always having to go and power it up when you need to print. Then wait for it to boot. Average print quality. Runs out of ink quickly and now. All the head-cleaning I can run, doesn't seem to fix the gaps in the printing. Should have just been happy with our previous all-in-one.  Show details

Absolute Garbage – Nothing but problems - absolute waste of money. Ink runs out too quickly - goes offline all the time. Putting it on the next bonfire and will u-tube it! Worst printer I have ever owned in 30 years. Had a Panasonic was brilliant - will go back to Panasonic.Seems like everyone is having the same problems - wish I had read up on it first. STAY CLEAR OF EPSON!!!  Show details

Flimsy pile of horse poop – Useless, unstable system, cheap plastic built, scanner not working, drink ink like water, wireless function is useless. It is going into the bin.  Show details

Not happy at all – Rubbish , ill never purchase another epson product this wf 2510 purchased 4 months ago put in new cartridges , wont print anything , any body that comes on here to defend this piece of rubbish obviously are pro epson , in the bin cant be bothered with there warranty as would be a massive waste of time  Show details

Waste of Time and Money – I've only had this printer for 6 months. First the scanner stopped working then when the ink got low I put in a new cartridge and it worked for a week then stopped printing half way through printing a single page. I don't use the printer alot so am very surprised to see it fail on so many levels when it hardly gets used. The printer has a mind… Read more

of it's own as sometimes I print and nothing comes out then a week later when I go to try and print something else, the previous pages I was trying to print come out instead. Now the printer and scanner don't work at all. This is my first and last purchase of an Epson, very frustrating when I only used it periodically.

Nothing but trouble – All sorts of trouble. Some docs don't print, lines missing, ink dries out so only get about 20 pages per ink cartridge.. $50 per set of cartridges !! (XL) evens when it works it's not worth using... was copying the other day and 1 in every fours lines was missing from the copies... sorry espon,, wont touch your products again.  Show details

Cheep and gets the job done! – Don't waste time reading poor reviews on this product written by champions who don't now how to setup wifi. This is a grate product and cheep to run. If you using cheep router supply free by your internet provider any printer can be slow on wifi or malfunction occasionally. The only down site, is not very fast. But lets be realistic I pay $69 for wifi fax printer scanner.

The best printer ever released by Epson – I bought this so I can print, copy scan and fax things also I can print wirelessly from my Laptop, iPhone and iPad. It prints things very fast so it very impressive also the ink cartridge are reasonably cheap to replace when you run out of ink (all the colours).

WI-Fi mystery time waster – Had this printer 2 yrs (2013 purchase) to use as main printer. USELESS Wi-fi has worked say 4-6 times in 2 year yet have spent hour after hour (desperate) trying to get it going. just unlock the 'secret' get it going, next day wont connect again! Is this just this printer or is it all Wi-fi printers. WHAT A FARCE would give it zero stars if I could.

Sucked in – I purchased the 1st WF2530 in 2013. After 2 years & several cartridge replacements it wasn't working well. Silly me purchased a 2nd one. BIG MISTAKE. I removed the original software & reloaded it all, done that 3 times now & it STILL prints randomly. I have googled followed all the info & STILL no go. I've checked the printer is compatable with my… Read more

laptop. FRUSTRATING & TIME WASTING to say the least. My daughter has also had a bash at getting the printer working, so I know it isn't just me. I will never buy another Epsom printer.

epson u suck!!! – we bought this printer almost a year ago, have been able to print only few times successfully, lets us down every time, cartridges dont last,, and seriouslyy we hardly print,, maybe once a month or 20 days,, its a shocker,,,i had a cheap canon and it lasted me years, and i could even refill the ink in that one,,,,,great job epson,,

The Ink Cartridge – It is a very poor printer and the ink cartridge don't last. It only prints when it feels like it has sat in my bedroom collecting dust the best place for it. Do not buy this machine, you will just be throwing your money away. It is a shocker.

That's time I'll never get back – The set up is overly complicated and the drivers were out of date necessitating 4 calls to the helpdesk in the Philippines to update properly. One of the links that they sent still doesn't work and they haven't sent the correct one yet. I wish that I checked out this forum 1st and bought something else. On the plus side, the prints of photo's are pretty good.

Still a bad printer – This is my second Epson 2530. The first one was Dead on Arrival. The current one worked briefly, then gave up. Epson "Help" was able to re-start it but it has again stopped working. A computer expert was able to start it again but once more it has died. Epson online help didn't help very much and there is their usual shortcoming of my having… Read more

to deal with someone whose first language is not English, which really complicates things. I will NEVER buy another Epson.

Waste of money – I bought this printer as I was desperate for one at the time, and it was on special at Dick Smith so I thought yeah it can't be that bad... But it is really that bad. I cannot figure out how to scan to my computer wirelessly, and it doesn't even come with a USB cable! It doesn't even allow me to select wireless scanning as an option (on the… Read more

printer itself). Printing seems okay... quite intermittent. I also agree with the other reviews that it uses a lot of ink.

Worst printer I've ever had - waste of money – WiFi option is intermittent at best, requires frequent reinstallation of software. Ink cartridges are consumed too quickly. Status levels indicate up to a quarter of ink remaining but printer won't function. When ink levels are low the remaining functionality (i.e. scanning) is inoperable. Use of non-genuine cartridges is also intermittent and… Read more

inconsistent.

Would never buy another Epson, prefer simple Brother laser printers instead. These are cheap, reliable and have much longer lasting consumables.

Not recommended – If this copyer is not used at least once a week the ink dries up. Then when you clean nozzles you are using up heaps of ink. When it works its an inkaholic....drinks copiously....and the cartridges are so small. My girlfriend has another brand of printer which hasn't been turned on for 3 months. When the epsom failed me again I plugged hers in in… Read more

and it works fine Epsom is cheap but badly designed. I'm just about to send it to recycling. It has printed about 100 pages total and since new Nov 2013) and I have already replaced one set of cartridges.....now it won't print without a nozzle clean every time. I have used up all the ink again while actually printing very little. Terrible > Sorry Epsom. I like to give everyone a chance but Never buying an epsom again.

Slow and uses alot of ink – This was a good price. Under $100 and the ink cartridges are a good price under $20. Copying speed - not too bad- when it is warmed up...This machine uses a lot of ink though. It is also quite complicated to use. It has a long and tedious menu....To top it off the Reset button doesn't actually reset the settings you might had set. Eg. if… Read more

you enlarges the print font or adj the quality of the copy, pressing the Reset doesn't reset it. You have to go through the menu and do it manually. Scanner - this take a few minutes to warm up. Changing the ink cartridges also take a long time. It then 'checks' if its done and this takes 2+ mins. A lot of waiting around and think time is something this machine does quite a lot :-( It is not an asset to have. Purchased from Dick Smith. May 2014.

so slow – I scan a lot of documents to my computer its so slow you can make a cup of coffee and still be back before its finished Epson get your act together update software please or will go to file 13 = the garbage bin

Soooo easy to install – After returning other brands because of difficulties in start-up. (Plenty of reviews to confirm my problems) I reviewed the EPSON WORKFORCE 2530 and saw there were plenty of reviews reporting ease of set-up and reliability. This is the one for me! So easy to get started (and I'm no tekkie), just follow the simple instructions provided then… Read more

load the DVD. What followed was very straightforward regarding installing the print drivers and connecting to WiFi. Very competitive price.
