Epson Workforce WF-2750
MPN: WF-275026 reviews
No wonder it's been discontinued! – It was going well for a while using it as a printer & scanner, which is why I bought a multi in the first place. After a while I didn't print as much any more and the ink didn't last as long which became too expensive so I just wanted it to scan. Scanning photos & documents was pretty good but too bad if you have run out of ink (which happened WAY… Read more
too frequently) the machine won't let you scan until you replace the ink.....I don't WANT to print anything! I will never buy Epson again, taking this useless piece of plastic to be recycled.
Avoid at any cost – Do not buy or hire a full time IT expert as well to deal with numerous hardware and software issues you will run into, including but not limited to: wifi connectivity, poor quality printing, ink cartridge vanishing prematurely... Good bye Epson
Extremely frustrating and a waste of money!! – I bought this printer and was so excited! In the beginning I thought it ran out of ink extremely fast! So I began buying the XL and I don’t use it that much! It’s been about a year now and every single time I go to use it! It requires new ink cartridges! There’s no way in this world they are even close to empty. However without fail! I have to run and replace them!! I’m so sick of it! Waste of time and money Show details
It’s a piece of bad language – Have to replace ink multiple times when the cartridge is not empty, sometimes it selectively doesn’t print a certain colour even when the nozzles have been cleaned. I have troubleshooted this printer on multiple occasions, I’m not a complete dummy, it’s definitely the printer. Please, save your money, do not buy this printer. Show details
Dreadful, wouldn't touch it with someone else's bargepole – Do not, under any circumstances, buy this hunk of junk. I have had nothing but issues with it, it rarely works properly for more than two days at a time, and it drinks ink like a Irish brickie necking Guinness.
this sucks – having this printer for less than a year and only using it 4 times. it has never let me just "copy" and i have used no color yet it wants color and yes i know it uses them even though it shouldnt. for the little amount i use a printer for i should not have to have such big productions and problems to print. or have to cloud my work . i just want to copy some docs and sometimes print some forms for home . never buy epson Show details
Caveat Emptor - this company's customer service policies don't even deserve the miserable 1.9 rating they have – I purchased an Epson WF-2750 several years back but it didn't work properly. I covered it and put it on the shelf while I used a Brother all-in-one much to my satisfaction until it finally died. I got the Epson out and after downloading drivers, then downloading updates to the drivers and finally getting it online, and replacing all ink… Read more
cartridges, the heads required cleaning. I evidently "over cleaned" the heads to the extent in one day, to get the heads operating, I expended all the ink - if you can even believe the machine's diagnostics. (first, replace Yellow, then Yellow and Magenta, back to Yellow, then Yellow, Magenta and Cyan, currently landing on Yellow only, once more).
I called support located in Manila. The CSR's were polite and professional. One told me she could offer me discounts on a new machine (bear in mind I've not gotten ONE good print EVER).
She as much as said, in my interpretation, the model year I have is junk as she said Epson has dedicated itself to improving the model. I asked her, "if you had a printer for years and never got one good print from it, would you buy the same brand - discount or not"? of course she couldn't opine.
I suggested they send me a new set of ink cartrideges - I don't know the markup but I can guess as can you the reader.
End of the day - Talked to a Supervisor and the answer was 'no can do'. I was willing to try and maybe this review would be different. What is clearly hardline company policy squelched that chance. Reviewers have been kind with the aggregate 1.9. I give the Epson company a ZERO.
Even what was evidently VOIP didn't work well. It is a cut corner company with horrible customer loyalty policies.
I would like to go "office space" on this waste of money – WiFi connectivity is beyond terrible, if you can get it to connect 10 min later when you want to print you need to go through the setup process all over again. The ink cartridges DO NOT last, the black was out very quickly however, the color is out even faster. I purchased new black and new color, installed them and within a handful of prints the… Read more
color was out. I have a new black ink but it wont print b&w with out replacing the color ink. If you can get it to print (and that is a big if) the print quality is quite good, you just need to have an extra 45 min and new ink cartridges every time you need to print. I can't believe this is an Epson product.
Waste of money – This machine eats up ink. Replacement ink sensor is faulty have new ink in and still says ink needs changing. Even tried pulling cartridge and re inserting but still replace. Very frustrating and disappointing. Wont buy another EPSON I'm done. Show details
This is the worst printer I have ever owned (I always had Epson printers which were excellent) – It's very unreliable. I have to fight the ink problem. It says that I need to change ink cartridges or that it doesn't recognize them. I would give it 1/2 a star if that was possible.
It's been a battle!! – I have to continuously set up the wi-fi before printing, if printer goes to sleep. The ink "Sensors" are another problem. It quits printing saying you are out of ink, when you replace cartage, ink pores out of cartage. Replace cartage do one job and now again "out of ink" and it will not print. If you can get it to print, the quality seems good.… Read more
After a while, if you plan to actually use this machine, the ink becomes costly. I had always hear Epson was one of the better affordable printers but I wish someone would have told me to stay away from this one. I have waisted a lot of time and money on this printer.
Constant issues with printing – I really thought this printer was going to be fantastic for my small office. It's a disaster. After two or three weeks it started with the 'paper stuck' EVERY time we try and print. Do not buy this printer. It wasn't cheap and it rarely prints without having to open every nook and cranny to reload the paper. Fail. A timewasting fail. Show details
Worst printer ever! – The printer was easy to set up on my wifi, and sync with the app on my Mac. This is the 3rd Epson printer I have purchased, being very satisfied with the previous 2 printers. It guzzles ink and I have had nothing but trouble with it not printing properly. I have done so many head cleans and nozzle checks that I have had to replace cartridges… Read more
and the only thing I have printed is 2 letters and a ream of nozzle alignment and ink checks.
The navigation panel isn't as easy to follow as the previous printers (XP-520 and XP-530).
The document feeder for scanning is slow, and does not scan double sided documents. So you have to scan one at a time on the glass.
Scanning a document/printed image at 400dpi or larger resolution will take you no less than an hour.
I am trying to print 24 double sided pages (12 letters) for my sports club, and it keeps shutting down after about page #7. I go in to print from page 7-24, and it starts at page 24, not page 1 (or nominated page). Backwards or what!!
This printer is about 3 months old and I'm ready to take it back to the vendor or put a hammer through it. I might have to go back to Canon, as this is an epic fail by Epson!

Worst printer I ever bought – Print heads frequently blocked and need cleaning if printer not used for a couple of days and half the printing is unreadable and the colours are way off colour. Replacing cartridges is a nightmare process compared to other printers I have owned. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH going back to my old brand of printer I used for years. Show details
Complete and total garbage – I bought this printer less than 2 months ago and it has already stopped working. - It won't print properly - that is, you will notice that huge chunks of text/images are missing because there's a line through it where the printer forgot to print that part. Obviously the people who programmed it have no idea how to make a printer (although my… Read more
earlier Epson WF-2630 model did last 3 years, this one is much worse than that older model). - Refuses to print even if ink is remaining in the cartridge (will just print blank paper) - Printer consumes too much ink. Good Guys stocks this trash so will attempt to return it to them.
Not great for scanning to email – The big failure of this printer is in the workflow, and that there's no straightforward option in the windows "Epson Scan" software to scan directly to your email client/outlook (as far as I can tell). You will be scanning to a folder and attaching the scan manually every time unless you use the printers convoluted menu system. It just seems a… Read more
ridiculous software feature omission in this day and age.
To scan into email via the printers menu over wireless, you're required to press a silly combination of buttons along the lines of down, right, down, right, right, down, start.. every button press has an awful tinny feeling click, and occasionally a click won't even register. At which point you simply start questioning your decision not to attach a scan to email the manual way after using the "Epson Scan" software.
The Epson event manager software alludes to being able to change a button on the printer to be a single press shortcut to scanning to email, or be able to scan directories on your computer to complete tasks, but overall the software seems purposefully vague and hard to figure out. I haven't been able to discover if the shortcut feature actually works on this particular model, or if it was only for a higher/sister model (wf-2760?), as it lists buttons not actually visible on this particular model (there's no "scan to computer jpg", "scan to computer pdf", or "scan to computer email" physical buttons on the machine).
Also, since restarting the printer and associated laptop, the laptop also no longer appears on the printers scan to computer menu, even though I can still scan/print wirelessly via software. Not that we'd want to use the printers terrible on board menu system again anyway.
Unfortunately I picked this printer up on a bit of a whim without first doing my due diligence/research, as we needed something short notice to be set up for one of our remote temporary site offices for 6 weeks, so we're stuck with it as there's no time for returning/replacing right now.
It definitely feels like the printer as a whole has been purposefully hindered/inconvenienced for typical office pdf to email scanning use scenario (even through it's called a WORKFORCE printer). I don't know what the purpose of doing that is other than perhaps up-selling a higher model, but the reality is it just creates more e-waste via product not being fit for purpose and being replaced faster due to such annoyances, and just overall damages the Epson brand.
I'm assuming the Workforce Pro printers might have an easier scan to email feature in their software.. But this is honestly a basic feature that costs literally NOTHING in software development and should be standard across office multifunction printer/scanners regardless of cost.
A good printer for the price point – This printer was not expensive and we have been happy with it. We bought it to print draft invitations and the colours have been really nice and vibrant and is exactly how it looks on the design. It's super easy to connect and print. However, it is quite slow when its printing. We have printed heaps of colour pages and theres still plenty of ink left. Overall a good printer. Show details
This is the worst printer I've ever used – I have never had a printer which can only print 4 coloured documents before being out of ink. That's disgusting. I will despire EPSON forever for this. Despite having seperate ink cartridges, no matter what I tried, I still could not get the printer to print whilst the Cyan cartridge was empty. Show details
Uses WAY too much ink! – Had for only 4 months now. Everything, except ink usage, is as stated. On my 3RD black cartage and 2nd of all other colors, not count supplied ink. Only on 2nd ream of paper. TOO Much INK usage. Show details
great mulifunction centre for my personal use and needs – i had for the past 12 years a hp laser jet,it is for home use and found it was just too big,and my ink used to dry out prior to the cartridges being used.i looked into it as my hp died,so i got this model,for home use i am very happy cos it suits my needs,when buying a printer or mulifunction centre it's best to ask how much printing do i want to… Read more
do?since i don't print much,as just the odd resume,or bill the 220 page ink cartridge with the 2 year expiry date was enough for me,and a full pack of all for colors for 58 dollars was great.i do scan and copy too,but all works great,the computer software is easy to install on your laptop,and scan software is good too.color prints are of good quality for my personal use.the controlls are easy to use on the unit.for all printers i found a cheese knife works best with paper jams,cos of the 2 prongs,and found you need to print a color page at least once a fornight,to eliminate print problems.i think this is a great multifunction centre for my personal needs.this would not be ideal if you print a lot,as the cartridge size only comes up to 220 pages.
Avoid this Printer – I have owned this WF-2750 for about 12 months and would suggest to anyone considering purchasing this printer --- be very wary, and avoid if you can. I previously owned a HP, for some 7 years, and had also purchased a HP for my daughter -- these were great. In comparison my Epson uses an incredible amount of ink [despite the assurances of the… Read more
sales staff] and once an ink cartridge is depleted it is a process of pressing buttons and on screen set-up to be able to print in black and white. Further the Epson does not seem to be optimised for operation with my IMac and Word/ Excel, requiring navigation through several screens before you can draft print -- the old HP had a draft option on the first print screen. If you are a user of 'substitute' ink cartridges [eg Calidad] you will NOT find a cheap cartridge to work with this printer -- you are a captive! There also seem to be an inordinate number of software updates -- large software updates that take time to download and install.
Good printer for the money, new inks, not so good for the money! – My previous epson printer got invaded by ants, which stopped it working. Having a stash of epson 220 inks, original and generic, i looked for a replacement that would use these inks and decided on the epson wf 2750. My only complaint is that for some reason, some 220 inks will not work on this printer, but to be fair, it does say this on some of… Read more
the ink jet packaging, so make sure that you get compatable inks. This detail apart, the printer is great, wifi setup is straightforward, the print quality is good and best of all, it will print double sided which is great! This printer was the last one that Good Guys had and I got it basically at wholesale price as it was demonstrator/ floor stock- around $120 as I remember. I have been using it for 3 months now, no complaints. I will carefully check it for ants taking up home too!

Perfect MFU for its price – I had been on market for a printer for a while before I accidentally bought Epson WF-2750. A few years ago I promised that it would be a laser printer. No ink printers anymore. On the day, I was going to buy a laser MFU, I accidentally open Harvey Norman website (the competitors didn’t offer a cashback for the same price) ) and saw WF-2750 for $99… Read more
+ Epson cashback of $50, so I changed all my plans and bought WF-2750 for $99 and received a cashback of $50 few weeks later. In short, it is the best MFU for $49 I have ever had. I scan and print every day for work and for kids, no complaint at all. Of course, it is not that fast and powerful and I have at work (my sin, I still use the printer at work for my personal stuff and of course it provides better print quality and 10x times faster scanning) but for $49 I cannot complain.
modern technology – its print quality is ok but I could never copy from the document feed on the top of the machine then suddenly it wouldn't scan the fussing around I had to do to print anything sheesh. I only bought this in November 2017. It was under extended warranty at the Good Guys I took it back and got a new one so time will tell. Show details
I experienced issues mainly with scanning – I experienced issues mainly with color scanning and sometimes with printing. It may be software issue but not doing the job properly. Terribly slow and sometimes even hanging and I need to restart. For printing, it is better but my 5 year old Epson was much silent and similar fast. Show details
Horrible experience – Nothing but problems from the start. Printer wouldn't print, constantly received warnings to check and clean nozzle heads. Went through two boxes of ink, yet barely used printer, once every other month, and was still losing ink... Epson sent me another pack of ink, printer still wouldn't print, and just from checking nozzle heads and test… Read more
printing, I began to lose ink again, yet it still wouldn't print anything else. Now here's where it gets interesting; even though I was still in warranty, they wouldn't refund me my money, but couldn't give me a reason why...I didn't want anymore of their products! In order for them to send me a replacement, they wanted my credit card #, which I refused to give them; so I had to find a box to pack it in, while they did offer to pay for shipping, and only after they receive it, they'll send me a refurbished printer!!! They refused to give me corporate's contact, told me to call back on Monday, and they'll transfer me! I spared you all the other incidents that I had to endure; but purchasing an all-in-one printer that I could barely use, and treated like I'M the criminal, is absolutely ridiculous! I would not ever recommend Epson's products to anyone! Unbelievable & horrible!
