I had a decades old Epson printer that was just dying and so I was looking for a replacement budget printer. I work from home but I just need to print like 5 pages a week BUT I do occasionally need to print, scan, and copy more.
This printer was inexpensive and had good reviews so I went with it.
And it does print well straight away. I have it plugged directly into my laptop and it didn't try to make me download a program to run it which is great because my work computer probably wouldn't have allowed it and we don't have an IT person anymore so idk who would have helped me... Fortunately, I can print while connected to the computer.
I did manage to connect my phone to the printer so it'll do printing via a phone app (using Bluetooth, possibly? Haven't used it more than once but it did connect pretty easily).
For some reason, I can't get it to print via WiFi. As far as I can tell, you'd need to be able to set up the WiFi connection while on a computer? (Instead of entering in the WiFi information directly into the printer, like my decades old Epson printer did). I don't have a non-work Windows computer however and had no luck getting it to connect with my Chromebook. My father tried connecting wirelessly with his HP laptop and I believe was eventually able to get it to work. So perhaps eventually I'll figure it out too.
Just wanted to mention it because WiFi set up may be difficult because you apparently don't work solely with the printer to get it connected to WiFi and it requires a computer from what I understand.
Maybe I'm just bad with directions?
Also: THE INK IS EXPENSIVE. As usual, the cheaper the printer, the more expensive the ink. I paid $25+ for the cheapest replacement Black ink I could find. Which is kind of crazy since $25 would get me multiple replacement cartridges for every single color on my old printer combined. Just something to be aware of if you do a lot of printing and go through a lot of ink.
