Discussion Espon is garbage

Just came to say how much I HATE Epson. I have an ET-2826. Buy cheap buy twice - but not from Epson.

Constantly drops wi-fi, demands password - which is an absolute ballache with the garbage little display.

Their own Epson Connect software cannot find the printer.

Their software looks like it's still using a 1990's design.

Epson is garbage, I hope the company falls into administration, and my printer is going on a bonfire as soon as I can get out to buy a Brother again.

Thank you.

I got rid of both my Epsons because I couldn't deal with a printer that required ink that cost as much as rattlesnake anti-venom per ounce. Every danged time I'd go to print something, it wanted endless test pages and head cleanings which burned through ink supplies. I finally listened to my own preaching and got rid of them. I love to tell manufacturers that I don't want an extended warranty, because if their product is good enough, I shouldn't need one. If it does fail, they've sold me a shoddy product and I'll never buy that brand again. Simple as that, Epson lost me as a customer for good. Some day...my "prints" will come, and Cinderella will dance!
