Epson XP-235

Don't use use it much, but every time I've tried to print something, I have to go out and buy more ink. It won't print in black & white if there's no colour ink. It claims it has runs out of ink if it hasn't been used for a few weeks. I will tell everyone I know never to buy an Epson. Absolute dodgey piece of rubbish. I am going to dump it in front of Officeworks, with two fresh unused black ink cartridges. Hopefully some of these other reviews will identify a better printer.

This is the worst printer I have ever used, it constantly rejects ink cartridges (and we only use genuine), seems to go through insane amounts of ink compared to other printers I have owned, and regularly paper jams. I am a tech person and can NEVER just hit print and expect a print out, I have to re-seat the paper, turn on and off, remove and reinsert ink cartridges.

The ink finishes very quickly, even with the XL. It will not let you print if one of the ink cartridges are empty. I also found out that you can only buy the Epson no 29 ink from Officeworks, bigW and other shops do not stock them.
It is one of the hardest printers to use, not user friendly at all. Changing the cartridges can get confusing.
I did like the wireless printing and app, but it is really slow at times.
Stay away from this printer. Waste of money.

Always having trouble getting a wireless connection. Very slow scanning, very slow user interface and confusing installation process. Every time a new computer is connected to my home network I need to initiate setup again, as there is no simple option to register an existing printer. People who designed the software for this printer do not know how horrible experience it is to use this software. Money is totally wasted on this printer.

doesnt let you print in black and white when colour is out. I tried aftermarket colour ink and it then decided that it didnt recognise even the black cartridige which was genuine. They have a chip in them so they know if they sold it. SCAM

holy crap!!!! could this be the worst printer of all time? Yes...yes it is... don't even know where to begin with this piece of junk! I am soooo looking forward to joyfully putting an axe through this later on this afternoon. How can Epson get away with selling such a piece of garbage? So many issues....as other have said, also goes through ink at an extortionate rate.... stay away people!

Don't bother printer prints 2 pages and then says buy more ink your getting low,if the colour is out or low you should still be able to print in black/ grayscale. back to cannon for me.bought from officeworks at virginia you tell them the ink was bought yesterday and only printed 2 pages and all you get is don't believe that did you put it in right,well it only goes one way and that's the problem with scams like this printer the don't mind taking your money but no after sales service it sucks so does officeworks and so does Epson.

I'm out of one colour and have plenty of black but the printer wont let me print in black and white or greyscale. It's a scam to make you buy more and quicker. I think the mentality of it all is, if they let you get through all the colour like they used to, it's cheaper to buy another printer than a pack of ink cartridges. Well, you've done your dash with me Epson........bye bye Charlie!

Tell me how I can't print a black and white document when I have a FULL black toner and an empty blue toner? Telling me I have to buy a blue toner to be able to print in black and white? Seriously Epson? Massive SCAM.... Will NEVER buy Epson again!!!

Their software is not user friendly at all. Takes ages to scan documents. Just a rubbish product do not buy it. Print quality is average, have to refill often and does not print only black if you run out of color ink. Not reliable at all. sometimes it is faster to drive to Officeworks and something printed rather than printing something from this crappy printer.

First of all, do not read EPSON-hosted reviews because you will notice they do not match third party sites (wonder why?). Print quality is fine. It prints 25% of the time at best. Other times you will be taking the paper in and out, pressing buttons, etc. They really need to sort out the paper feed and sensor. If it is low on colour ink (which happens QUICK) - it WILL NOT PRINT ANYTHING EVEN JUST IN BLACK! Software lacks the most basic of human-machine interface design consideration. Avoid.

The only reason it got one star is because its print quality is decent enough. Everything else is abysmal. Unreliable, expensive to keep running and constantly faulting. I wasn't informed in store that it is an Officeworks exclusive, which means I can't buy ink anywhere else. This is difficult when I don't have an Officeworks nearby and their postage is expensive.

I have had nothing but trouble with this printer. Does not print half the time and does not detect the paper the rest of the time. Almost always in an "error state" Don't believe it when they say reinstalling drivers will help. It doesn't. In all these years I have never had so much trouble with any printer. Stay away from it and Epson in general. They are not the company they used to be many years ago.

This is the worst printer I’ve ever used. You put two pieces of paper in and it says jammed. You use the ink once and have to replace it. It’s a crappy printer with crappy results. I hate it it’s caused me so much stress at university and I had to buy this for myself. It’s not cheap but it acts it. Awful. Don’t buy.

Certainly the cheapest printer I've ever owned, and it shows. Prints are slow, and it's missing any sort of digital screen, leaving you to decipher the hieroglyphics on the front panel.

Quite slow to print text documents, but they look fine. I haven't tried many colour prints.

If you run out of a coloured ink it won't let you print black and white documents, even if you have plenty of black ink. This is a pet peeve of mine and drives me nuts. It used to happen on my old printer but I learned eventually there was a button to override the warning and print anyway.

Inks run out very quickly even with light use, and it is literally cheaper to buy a new printer (which includes a set of inks) than to buy a full set of inks separately.

poor quality prints. wireless printing/scanning are slow and stop half way for long periods of time. took me 3 hours to scan 20 documents. after installing on my mac it retected the software and i had to start again. i have to switch from 5g to 2.4g everytime i want to use the thing because it doesnt support 5g. i ending up smashing it just to vent my frustrations and teach myself a lesson for buying cheap crap. if you have a short fuse do NOT buy this printer. JUNK

Just recently bought this unit as the salesman at good guys recommended this model as they have less come back and the ink cartridges can be changed out separately. I must say i am happy with it so far, does great scans, photo copies and printing. the software is easy to use.

Connecting to devices fine. Compact, light and easy to set up but prints are poor quality and literally blurry. It was a cheaper printer being around $90 but I thought the prints would be at least average and readable. Not sure if it the brand or this model but would not recommend

Print quality good, operation reliable & hassle-free.No paper jams. Purchased 18 months ago for $59 from Officeworks who seem to sell this model & ink cartridges exclusively. As usual cheap appliance but relatively expensive cartridges. Non-genuine work well at a greatly reduced price. Would highly recommend for non-commercial home use.
