Epson XP-200

Nothing but trouble with this crappy printer but you get what you pay for. The scanner function is all it is good for. I've wasted so much money on cartridges.

I don’t understand what the 1 star reviewers are on about. Bought this printer a while ago and it has been sitting in the garage for a couple of years. Hooked it up to an old laptop (6 years old) and waited for the firmware updates to load. Followed all the instructions and the wireless setup worked perfectly first time. You do need to be patient with the setup, it took about 90 minutes all up. Wireless printing worked perfectly. Print quality is ok, that’s what you get at this price point. For occasional printing, this printer is perfect and being wireless is very convenient.

Yes we agree totally where the ink life is concerned. The reviews have taken the words out of my mouth. Thought we just had a dud!!!! Not sure what to do now because we have just purchased yet another supply of ink even though we hardly do any printing at all. Very expensive. Any suggestions for next purchase of a inexpensive but good printer?

We bought this printer as I thought Epson was a good brand, and was quite inexpensive. Very very disappointed. As soon as a cartridge is near empty you cannot print anything at all, not even black and white/grayscale. As an example today the problem was yellow, so we put in a new cartridge and without printing anything, it then said black was too low. The cartridges never show as completely empty, what a waste, and what a rip off. Then it couldn't be recognised by my laptop, which it had been printing from previously. Sick of it, Its going in the trash.

Prints slowly but quality is acceptable. Printer likes to drink ink, quickly. Doesn't like Macs. Wi-Fi function doesn't function! Buy anything other than this printer. Epson should issue a refund to anyone who made the mistake of buying an XP-200. Should be marketed as a use once and throw away printer.

Very slow printing and uses soooooo much ink! $30 for the extra large black ink and I have only printed 20 pages with not that much on them and the ink has run out! I can't believe this can be possible, worst printer I have ever had I will be throwing it out and purchasing a different one. You get what you pay for I think ☹️

I am not happy with this machine as a printer. It works fine as a scanner though. The printing is very frustrating. It is slow and I am not sure how it uses this much of ink for printing. Also, I always have to clean its print head. It is a waste of money.

Very happy with this printer, easy to do photo copies or print off black and white or coloured pictures. Best for small pictures on corner of page or small invitations. A3 pictures use a lot of ink that may make the colours vary slightly. Ink last me 6 - 8 months when using regularly. if not used often you may need to use cleaning program {inbuilt in printer}. Have had printer for over 2 years and does its job well. Must use good quality ink for it to last and do good prints.
Negative need to use genuine ink product to do the job

I haven't had anything like the trouble all these other reviews are reporting.
The ink does run out a bit quicker than I like but I just buy aftermarket inks off eBay and that offsets the cost with little to no quality difference. I think we had wifi trouble at one point but we were using a range extender which is what I believed caused the issues.
Never had a paper jam, never had paper load issues, ink never dries out, doesn't seem to magically disappear between uses.
For the $70 or so I paid for it, couldn't be happier.

The printer, scanner/copier all work well. But as others have said it uses a lot of ink and it has a few problems for a while when you install generic cartridges. Epson wants to milk the ink dollars out of you, wish they would grow up. The software is also intrusive.

It always seems to be running out of ink yet I barely use it. It appears to use ink every time you turn it on to prime the printer heads. As a result you run out of coloured ink even if you never print in colour. And when you run out of the coloured inks, you are unable to print in black and white. The XP-200 reinforces what you (should) probably already know...cheap printer = spend a lot of money on ink.

Today threw out my second epson printer; when they worked imaging was quite good, but the first one (xp 100) quit after a minimal amount of work, I had print cartridges left so bought an xp 200 hoping to use its wifi capacity. Again while it worked it was fine and I particularly liked the scanner. However, it "out of the blue" stopped loading paper. Since it was fairly cheap I threw it out. I'll never buy another epson product!

We don't print often and have found that the ink seems to vanish between uses and requires constant print head cleaning. I've lost count of the replacement ink cartridges we've had to buy which cancels any savings we made in purchasing a cheaper printer in the first place. If you just need a scanner, it's fantastic but for a printer, look elsewhere!

The terrible reviews in here are correct and reflect the poor quality of this printer. It Is frustrating to use with a mind of its own often draining the ink, I have to constantly keep cleaning it and doing head realignments to try to get it to print even with new cartridges!

Will not buy Epson again!

Very dissatisfied. Yes, you get what you pay for, but I would expect any printer to last more than 2 months. A piece of paper triggered the paper jam sensor, the paper was retrieved and nothing was jammed, but couldn't use the printer at all as it had falsely detected a paper jam. 12 moths warranty?? Correspondence with customer service was very difficult. Finally, I was advised I could take it to a certified repairer where I may be charged if was found to be operators fault. I figured they would class a paper jam as operators fault and didn't bother. Not worth it.

I know most printers are cheap piles of garbage but this one takes the cake. Wasted money a new ink cartridge which wouldn't work, another cartridge prints with white lines through things. Paper feed is a joke. Seriously biggest piece of junk i've ever purchased. Will not touch epson with a barge pole ever again.

I have had many problems with this $60 printer. Paper jams, inability to print, colour ink not lasting long - you name it. At times it will work well for a while then again prove problematic.

I doubt that I'll buy again from this manufacturer, even though its instruction manual is easy to read.

This printer is a perfect example of why I hate ink jet printers! The ink cartidges were supposed to last 10000 prints... I'd be lucky if I got 10 out before needing to replace cartridges... now I am cleaning and aligning print nozzles to try and get a reasonable print out for my small business, and I'll be surprised if that process doesn't empty the new cartridges!
If these reviews were out before I bought, I never would have bought it.
Incredibly difficult to set up on WiFi, goes through ink like a seven day a week drunk... stay far, far away!!!!
