    Glitchy I bought this based on good reviews and a previous good experience with a similar printer. I am currently trying to print a 5-page document, and I've had to cancel it and send again due to errors 3 times now. With my old printer (that worked well for three years) that kind of thing happened seldom. Error messages and inability to print simple docs is a routine occurrence now. The cartridges are more expensive, too. I wouldn't have bought this one if I'd known it would be so glitchy. Now it's here, unboxed and set up,... read more

    Stopped scanning after a couple of months of LIGHT use I purchased this multi-function printer and scanner for light use (printed maybe 20 pages per month; scanned maybe 2 or 3 pages per month).

Customer service is a joke. There is no one to call to help trouble shoot. I've... read more

Cartridge replacement did not alter this, and online support did not address such a malfunction. The good news is it only cost me eighty dollars, so I tell myself I rented it for $7.25 a month. Th... read more

    Not worth the money I've seen printers asking for original print cartridges but this one does not even print if one of the print cartridges becomes empty. Its so frustrating because the black paint not even half empty.

    No Stars I can't give this printer any stars. Very poor quality, constantly refuses to print and jams every time printing is attempted. If I could return it, I would. Instead it's going to the dump.
