John of Church Hill, TN November 20, 2009 We purchased a Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer, the printer had problems printing just out of the box, I changed all of the print cartridges as Recommended by epson customer service to new epson cartriges, I still had problems,one of the main problems is printing photos to glossy photo paper. Epson stated that I was not using the correct paper, i used avery and HP paper with the same large black blotches on the prints. they said that I needed to use Epson paper only with the correct specifications for this printer. this printer is unusable and we will be putting the printer in the garbage on monday and we will go and buy a new HP photo printer next week. after dealing with Epson customer service, we will never buy another Epson product. Chris of S.Lake Tahoe, CA November 12, 2009 In September of 2008 we bought a Epson Stylus NX400 Model C3S1C which is a all in one. Regular price was 99.98 plus tax. We just happend to get it on sale so it was 79.98 plus tax. It took me a day or two to get around to install it on my system. Once the software was installed and the test page printed out we thought everything would work fine. Well that did not happen. We tryed to print some documents and it would not print anything but a blank page. After several hours of trying to figuere out the problem and removing the program several times and reloading it I finally called the support place and was walked through some things that needed to be done with my system in order for it to work. Things seemed to be working fine but I can not belive the amount of ink that this thing will use and it seems like we would have to buy new ink for it every other month or so and we really did not have a lot of use from the printer. About the middle of 2009 I had to have some work done on my computer and the program for the epson was removed. Once we picked up our computer I tryed to reload the software for this printer again and this time it would keep coming up with Path for E_DMAI30.DLL could not be found. This of course was after it had loaded up half the files and then it would pop up with this message. I tryed everything in the world to make it work went on line, went to the trouble shooter on the Epson web site and so nothing but complaints and problems listed just the same as I was having. I even tryed another system and still had the same issues. So once again I called the help line and was told to download the drivers from Epson's web site which I tryed to do at least 5 times but every time I would click on the download now the page would come up with this site is not available. After massive searching I found a site that had the drives I needed and was able to download to my desktop. Once installed I thought alright everything would be fine but once again it would just spit out blank pages. I have tryed to clean the heads on the ink cartridges but no. I have become so frusted with this thing I just disconnected it and e-mailed the items I needed to print to Staples. I had no idea that this printer would have so many issues and still will not print in black only if one cartridge is empty no wonder it was 20.00 of the price. Bob of Portland , OR October 11, 2009 I recently replaced my old printer with an Epson R220 printer. I do not print much - about one page a week, on rare occasions, a possible second page. I've been using this printer for about 5 months, I estimate I've printed 25-30 pages. Today, this Epson printer, unlike my previous one, refused to print - claiming the black ink was 'empty'. This was about half the time that my older HP printer worked until needing more ink. I went to refill the cartridge as I had with my previous printer, only to find the cartridge was quite full of ink! I returned it and find the Epson software still refused to print claiming the black ink was 'empty'. Over the 5 months of use, I've watched it show me, each time I printed a page, how the color cartridges also were emptying ?!? Yet I have never had opportunity to EVER do any color printing! Right now the printer software is displaying that the color cartriges are nearly empty!?! The black is empty, even with the nearly 2 units of black ink I was able to withdraw from that "empty" cartridge (AND, there's much more I couldn't remove) This is obviously a scam perpetrated by this printer manufacturer. Particularly when I began 'googling' epson printers and finding numerous complaints from others about the very same problem I describe. I want to know if a class action lawsuit is in progress, and if so, how do I join it. Laura of WINSTON, NM September 16, 2009 Purchased an Epson CX7000 a year ago and it lasted about 2 months before my local computer guy had to fix it with a junk part he had on hand. about 4 months later it wasn't recognizing New Epson cartriges anymore so I gave up on it decided it was a lemon. Here is where I got stupid, since I had so many new epson cartriges I boought another Epson this time a CX 9000Fax becuase I didn't want to waste 100 bucks in ink. Well it went through it's package ink and when I got the others installed it doesn't recognize any of them. wow what a mess. So I went to Sams and got a whole new set of ink for it for around 60 bucks and guess what, the Epson can't recognize the Cyan or the Yellow. So now what to do since Epson doesn't even allow you to print black unless all the inks are up to the level they require. Needless to say both my Epsons are sitting on the floow collecting dust while I use my old HP backup for basic printing and have no scan or fax capability. Someone should file a class action against Epson for this faulty product line. Cannot use fax capability or scanner capability don't have a printer and lost about 400 dollars in ink not to mention 250 in junk that masquerades as printers. All in all Epson has cost me a lot of money for about 5 months of minimal printing. Gene of Taylors, SC September 8, 2009 I purchased an Epson model NX400 printer as a Christmas present (Dec/2008) for my daughter. She has been using it since then to print B&W letters for her business since then and has rarely used the printer for color prints/documents. Today (9/8/9), while trying to print a color document, the printer refused to print and indicated on the Epson printer monitoring software screen that her color cartridge needs to be replaced. Since she did not have another color cartridge available (and the one in the printer was practically full) and in an effort to continue, she arranged for the document to be printed in black; The same result occurred. Thinking that the black cartridge needed replacement, she put a new one in the printer and received the same results (need to replace the color cartridge(s)- will not print. Frustrated, she called the Epson tech phone support number and was told that the printer software for this model (and similar Epson multi-inexpensive cartridge printers) monitors all of the cartridges and if any one of them are low on ink, or if any one of the cartridges are older than 6 months, the cartridge(s) will need to be replaced with fresh ones. I've never had a printer that did this - even the multi-thousand dollar business printer systems - just a warning that the printer is low or out of ink/toner.
