Epson WorkForce WF-2630

Worse customer service – Brand new ink cartridges are empty won't refund the cartridges very rude customer help line to everyone who looking for a printer don't buy a epson product ever I mean ever

Works fine bit slow for scan – Had this at work for over a year.. Works well.. Can use epson app to print documents from phone by using hotspot.. Build quality is ok.. If not going to move around to much..

Good printer for home – I bought this printer in April 2019 from Officeworks for AUD$99 and have only used it a handful of times to print (docs and photos) and scan. Functionally, so far so good although scanning is quite slow. I haven't had any problems with jamming or clogged heads as others have reported. For it's price, I think the print quality is great and the… Read more

output is fairly good as well. What I don't like however, is the ink situation. It drinks ink like nobody's business and, as with most printers I suppose, they're not cheap to replace. You've got 2 options for cartridges, Std or XL (high capacity). I would definitely recommend (if your budget allows) spending the extra $$ to go with the XL cartridges and, if you don't need them urgently, buy directly from Epson as they're a bit cheaper (than Officeworks anyway) and currently offer free delivery. Also, buy the value packs and save yourself some $$$!!! We've replaced 3 out of 4 cartridges so far but made the mistake of buying individually because they ran out at different times. In this instance, we had to buy from Officeworks and spent $69.54 for 3 cartridges (we did get black in XL though) whereas the value pack is only $76.88 (incl. 4 cartridges - 1 black XL and the 3 other colours STD). Overall, I think it's a good printer for home use.

TERRIBLE – This is the worst printer I have ever experienced. It never worked properly since I purchased it, tried to contact Epson and they did not respond. The printer constantly takes in more than 1 page at a time when printing or scanning and now the ink does not even print on the page. Despite running all troubleshooting the printer is utterly useless and a complete waste of money. The whole printer itself feels cheap and nasty as well. Do not buy it. Show details

Do not buy, The worst printer I have ever had – This is the second WF-2630 I have had, the first one was absolute rubbish and I was assured by the tech team at office works the first one was just part of a bad (batch) so as a reasonably tech savvy person I reluctantly purchased a second. It did not make it past using the little ink they provide coming with the printer (there is not a great deal… Read more

of ink in the printer when you purchase these) before the issues arose.

"black ink needs replacing" - thats funny I have printed about ten pages - ok replaces ink goes to print important document I need for work tomorrow on a Sunday WILL NOT PRINT - "yellow ink Needs replacing" - this document isn't even yellow??? ok goes to the supermarket buys the correct ink at a price more than the printer??? replaces cartridge "out of M ink (blue)" this document is black and white why do I need blue?? ok replaces all cartridges now because i am losing it... goes to print prints everything except the black ink i.e. 99.9% of the document.

ok maybe the cartridge is blocked removes and replaces does ink jet head clean as per fault finding instructions and a bunch of other meaningless things that do absolutely nothing... still not working... but it will print in blue??

Takes blue document to work the next day that looks ridiculous and at this point the printer has ruined my Sunday and Monday.

then I go to use the scanner and scan it to my Mac It wont even recognise the scanner, whats worse is the issues I have described above are the same as the first WF-2630 I purchased. Do yourself a favour, do not buy EPSON

Worst ever printer I've used. Please don't buy it – I bought Epson WF-2630 printer lured by its price and advertised features. It's very very poor machine. Its software sucks. Not very user friendly feature. Once the ink is completed - Out it's better to throw away in trash because it neither works with outside catridges not with epson ink. Surprisingly none of the features like scan will work… Read more

even if one color is low on ink. Basically epson guys will force user to buy ink. They intentionally made it don't work after even single color ink is ran out. Last but not least - it is color printer but you can't print black and white even if printer has plenty of black ink if one of the color ran out. Ink runs out just like that.

Printhead always blocks – I have the Epson workforce WF-2630. I am very unsatisified, I brought as I like the idea of the seperate ink colour cartridges. The Black ink never works, the printhead always gets blocked. Don't buy EPSON! Show details

Do not waste your money on this – needs to replace whole catridge when color is out. cannot print in b& w cannot scan to iphone app. poor firmware design causing issues in the operatability. very fustrating. I went with epson company because of the brand but ended up wasting money. Show details

Don't waste your money very disappointing printer – I bought mine several years ago i probly used it 8 times max and i found the ink runs out so quick , it's not worth buying even thou the price is cheap its not worth it at all. Your better of going to a local office works and printing what you want .I thought this printer would be good for me cause i dont need a printer everyday . Pure garage and a waste of time Show details

The worst Printer I have owned – I'd just be rehashing what everyone else has said but this is a piece of trash. Constantly clogs. Uses too much in. Constantly prints blank pages. No matter how many times you clean the print heads. Until you waste so much ink that you have to buy another. Too many jams. Oh did I mention that this doesn't print consistently? You will spend more… Read more

time constantly getting this trash back up online than you are printing and using your valuable time of this piece of trash. Today I will be throwing it out of my window because once again. I need more ink but after I install the ink then it won't print. So I have to clean the nozzle heads repeatedly again as is drains my ink and I have to buy another cartridge. Like I have done numerous times. Then after hours and days it will print one or two things and I will have to replace another ink and it doesn't print again and then back to cleaning the sh i t t y nozzle heads, repeatedly as I watch my ink dwindle and I haven't printed any damn thing for myself.

Rinse, wash and repeat. That is the cycle of this Trash. Avoid it all all cost unless you just want to waste money for soon to be garbage.

Awful – I work in technology, so if I hit technical problems usually they're a minor nuisance. Not with this printer. I'm not normally a product reviewer, but I felt it was my public duty to ensure you know about just how bad my experience has been. Everything with this device is unnecessarily difficult, fragile and/or broken. Wifi set up on the printer… Read more

interface is needlessly awkward. My home computer appears to lose the printer every time the computer or printer is restarted. The driver installation was difficult, bordering on impossible. A number of proprietary pieces of software have to be installed on the computer for the device to work. The scanning software is unwieldy and hard to use. Printer ink cartridges cost a disgusting amount compared to the amount of ink they contain and compared to the cost of the printer. Printer would print with gaps and lines visible on page until I claimed that there was EPSON paper in the printer at which point the problems went away. And finally, it's just really slow. This is the worst technology purchase I've made in living memory.

Don't bother – Second one I've brought as the ink itself outlasted the first and it was cheaper to buy the same printer again. This one didn't last a year. Constant problems with print heads being clogged on both occasions. No more Epson for me. Show details

Rubbish – Requires print head cleaning after every 10 prints. Very slow scanning and printing. Non stop problems with this one. Problems all over the place. Disappointing piece of rubbish. Should have checked the review first. Show details

Just hand write it, it will be less painful than using this printer – This has been the most disappointing printer in a long line of disappointing printers. Epson took it to a new level of nonsense. Even when i bypassed the intelligence of my mac and wifi and plugged it directly into my computer it would come up with a communication error! Do not buy this printer. Show details

Absolute Junk – Again recommended by officeworks. Always appears as offline. Download Epson printer connector - says fixes it and will work - doesnt. As other reviewers have mentioned - only suitable as landfill. Do not buy one of these junk printers. Show details

Only good for landfill – I made the mistake of buying two of these. When they work the print heads constantly clog. Won’t print black if the colour cartridges are empty. But most of the time I get ‘printer is offline’ messages and have to spend too much time reloading software which sometimes won’t reload because it can’t talk to the computer. Wifi says it’s on on the… Read more

printer, but phone and computer won’t recognise it. Office works recommend this piece of junk to me when I was actually leaning towards another printer. I’ve spent more time trying to print than I have actually printed.

The best place for this product is in the recycle bin! – Won’t perform simple task like copy... keeps stating the margins are not set correctly... you set them ... press ok ... and sends you around in circles with the same error message. Enough to drive you crazy .... and already printing blurry ... Pile of junk ... do not buy Epson ! Show details

Dont get CONNED! – Will not print in black and white due to a low colour cartridge.. Absolute scammers. Also the scanning function has also stopped working. Ill never buy Epson again. Terrible product and their dishonest ways of setting up their products to force you to buy ink unnecessarily. Show details

never buying Epson again – This printer wont recognize cheaper after market ink cartridges. What is the point of buying cheap printers if you have to buy over priced genuine ink cartridges. I'm going back to brother printers Show details

Over complicated – The product looks great but was or has proven to be unreliable over complicated. I’ve reached the point where I need an IT expert just to set up the printer it’s consistently printing blank sheets one after another. Show details

OMG! Worse printer ever!!! – This is just wrong for the environment! Printer is difficult in every way possible. I can’t even get it to work. Each time there is a big drama and hours later still not resolved. Office works should know better than to sell such rubbish! Show details

Disappointed – This printer does my head in every time I use it. I have to hit print multiple times, it shoots out blank pages and then prints and it often does not efficiently communicate wirelessly for scanning. It constantly has IP issues and can't communicate. Printing and scanning are the most straightforward things this thing should do effortlessly but its… Read more

like I have to stand on one leg with my finger on my nose and turn around three times for it to follow a command. Very Frustrating !

Ready for the rubbish bin – This printer worked well until the ink cartridge ran out. It does not just print black, you have to have all cartridges full for it to print. Most of the time it only printed half a page. Not happy with this purchase and I will not purchase an Epson again.  Show details

Don't buy this – My wife got conned into buying this at Officeworks (they said it was a good printer). It's the worst printer I've ever had. I have just spent 12 minutes trying to get it print a one page receipt for an internet banking transfer. It was so slow that by the time it had printed, my internet banking had timed out. This printer is mostly offline and… Read more

takes for ever to start printing. It is also very complicated to use, the menus are designed by some lab rat whose brain works in an illogical fashion. Don't buy it. Doesn't do double sided printing. Once the ink runs out I will throw it in the bin and buy a better printer.

TOO COMPLICATED TO SET UP – After the previous printer we had asked us to do an update it stopped working. So off we went to buy another one only because I had purchased $142 worth of cartridges for our previous Epson. And have tried many times to install the Fax and the Scanner on this and it will not work. Have contacted the Help line and all they did was send me an email to tell me what to do  Show details
