First off .... when giving or reading reviews for printers, I NEVER mention anything about ink usage (unless it starts shooting it all over & making a mess, which has never happened yet), nor do I give much weight to the numerous reviews (usually "1-stars") which focus solely on that aspect. The reason is simple .... they ALL use more ink than they should & ALL printer companies rely on a large percentage of their revenue from future ink sales. The "This thing sucks because I had to buy another ink cartridge within 6 months" type reviews really don't tell me anything, other than .... yes, this printer actually DOES consume ink, just like the rest of them. A printer which doesn't use more ink than you think it should is either broken, or not being used.After going thru approx. 6 printers in the last 10 years or so, I can honestly say this is the VERY best one I have ever owned .... by a LONG shot. The top-most thing which impressed me to no end, right off the bat, was the EXTREME simplicity & efficiency of the installation process. I've used Lexmarks, HPs, & other Epsons. I refuse to buy another HP because of the often-irritating hoops you have to jump thru just to get the thing operating. Lexmarks are a bit better usually, but I personally don't think they have the quality of Epsons or Canons (although I've never used the latter). I even wasn't exactly planning on setting this one up as a wireless, since I admit that I'm very ignorant about the complexities of wireless stuff. But glancing at the manual for maybe 2 minutes, it looked like it might be a very simple procedure. It didn't disappoint either. After installing the cartridges, plugging up one power cord, & pressing about 6 buttons & "Okay" tabs .... I was printing a test page within minutes. I never had to do one thing except insert the disk, press the said buttons, & wait on it to do it's thing. Any type of object gets an extra brownie point from me if it impresses me right from the start, meaning the install process. Print quality, loudness, physical looks, speed, features, value, every feature about the printer is at least as good, usually better, and some of them MUCH better, than any of the half-dozen printers I have ever used. Would I buy the same one again .... most definitely. Would I recommend it to others .... most definitely. Do I think this thing will do the job that I need it to do, for a decent time-period .... I hope so & it has of yet given me ZERO reason to think otherwise. Even though I sifted through all feedback, on multiple sites & for multiple printers, & made a "modified" ranking on the 1-to-5 scale for each, I still couldn't quite find one with the 4+ stars that I was hoping to find .... at least not one below about $200. (By "modified", I mean that I eliminated all of the 1 & 2 star ratings which dealt ONLY with the amount of ink the printers used). This one kept coming up about 3.5 - 3.75 stars at the best, which was actually about what ANY of the 6-8 best printers (all Epson) I compared were ranking. So I finally just decided this one had about as good of a reputation from users as I was going to find, even though not QUITE as good as what I was looking for. But 30 minutes after hooking it up, and several test-printings later, I have absolutely no reason to rank it any lower than a 4. Since, as mentioned earlier, the superb installation process impressed me so much, I'm bumping that up to a full 5 stars. Nothing is perfect, although I have yet to find anything I DON'T like about the printer. But it deserves better than 4 out of 5 stars. I can't do a 4.5 on Amazon, so it happily gets a 5 from me.

The Epson Stylus NX515 has a tendency to stop printing in black ink. My stylus worked fine for most of the 1 1/2 years I've had it. Then it just stopped printing out documents in black ink. I'm waiting on word for a fix from Epson, but after a search on their site and not finding one, and then reading reviews from others with the same problem, it is apparently a fault with the printer. I wish I had known about it before purchasing mine.

Many issues with this including going through ink quickly and never being able to print because the wireless is intermittint. I don't print much since this is a home use unit but it seems i'm blazing through ink like it's a commercial unit in a kinko's. As with most ink jet printers, the cost of ink far outways the cost of the original unit. The main problem i have and the one that really gets me is the wirless feature. I've got too many things hooked into the router to hard wire the printer in so i've done what i figured was the next best thing and placed the router behind the printer (it's now wireless for 3 inches). When i first loaded everything a couple years ago, everything worked fine for a time. It's fast and the print quality was good. It seems you have to wake the machine back up every time you want to print (annoying when your not in the same room as the printer). It also seems every day that you have to shut down all computers and the printer and restart everything in order for it to print. Then every couple months (at the start) and now about once a week you have to delete the printer and delete the port and re-add the printer/port back in. this works sometimes but the real problem seems to be that the printers wireless has issues since the printer doesn't show up as available sometimes and sometimes it does. This is really frustrating since it will happen on the 3rd or 4th item your printing and your just stuck till it decideds to work. I printed about 5 things fine today and on the 6th it just wasn't available and after about 2 hours of trying to re-install everything i'm about to go Office Space on it. Well anyway before i get all worked up i'll just close with saying that I will never buy an Epson product again.

My husband bought the Epson NX515 for our home a few years ago, maybe 3 years ago, and at first it was totally fine. Printed without a problem and I didn't have to replace the ink very often. But then all of a sudden it has started to breakdown. Now whenever I want to print something, especially if it's something with a bar code, I ALWAYS have to run nozzle check and head cleaning before doing anything or else the bar code, and most of the words on the page, end up fuzzy. Piece of crap! I don't print very often, and when I do it's not like it's multiple pages, so why would it be broken so soon?My mother always had an HP printer and never had problems printing and I think I'll be switching over to an HP once this one dies.

Purchased the All in One and was impressed. For awhile. Just after the "warranty" expired I got a "scanner error".This could be deadly as no other options on the unit can be accessed. Basically you now have a brick. It was still capable of printing, but if you make changes to your wi-fi settings you can't get into the maintenance mode to change passwords, etc. I used the printer until the ink went out. I had used re-furbed cartridges and they were ok. Not so much this time. It would not recognize the refurbed cartridge. At this point I was going to trash the unit but decided to take a look at the scanner issue. Just below the control panel on the side is a door to the connectors. Remove the screw and slide the door off. I reseated the dainty ribbon cable for the scanner and it now worked. I was also able to reload the refurbed cartridges and all is back to normal. That little cable reseat would have cost more to have fixed that the unit originally cost. I hope to share this with as many folks as possible, as Epson customer service sucks! I will toss this unit when it pukes again, but for now it works. I hope this helps anyone with the same issue. Dave

I stopped using my HP printer because it seemed to use too much ink. After replacing the HP with the Epson, I concluded that the HP PRINTER IS A BARGAIN in comparison with the Epson. In the short run, you may believe that the Epson is more efficient in ink consumption than the HP, but over time, my old HP has been much less expensive to operate and has been much more reliable. NEVER is a long time, but I will never have another EPSON product in my house.So, my old HP is back in service, and the Epson is doing an excellent job of collecting dust.

Just as others already stated:1)Constant Clogged heads (Print quality always has some sort of lines or skewed text in it)2)Cannot Print if One Cartridge is Low (makes it real fun trying to print your boarding pass on the way out the door to the airport...happened about 10 times this year, including last night!)3)Constantly needs the maintenance feature ran in order to get the thing to print worth a darn.4)Always has low ink (mainly due to the constant maintenance required)As of last night, this piece of junk went straight to printer heaven (well, actually Hell in this case) and never again will I purchase or have another Epson anything in my home.My displeasure finally came to a head last night while trying to print boarding passes. I go to print and, voila, there it was again...low on the blue ink. All I want are black copies Mr. Epson. No can do...I must get the blue ink first. Well guess what? That ain't happening. Off you go Epson.I regretfully say this is my second Epson printer. It will surely be my last.

So I purchased this printer less than two years ago, after my first Epson printer failed. Don't ask why I bought another one, it was just the right price at the time I guess. This printer has been VERY lightly used, and really only used for black and white prints, virtually no photos.While it did work, I loved the scanning/copying, they turned out very well and it was very easy to use. A few weeks ago, all of the sudden during a print job, an error message came on the screen that said "cannot recognize ink cartridge", or something along those lines. I've tried resetting the printer, lightly cleaning the cartridge contacts, and replacing every ink cartridge. I STILL get the message, and it keeps you from doing anything with the printer. You cannot copy, scan, or do anything else in the settings menus.I have learned my lesson after owning two Epson printers, I will never own another of their crappy products again. For a $200 printer, with light usage, I'd expect it to last much longer than a year and a half.

This is my second NX515 Epson printer. Both of them having the same nozzles issues near the end of the ink cartridges that came with the printer. I think the issue was that ink tends to dried and clogged up the nozzles. Performed nozzle cleaning helps but problem come back soon after that. Replacement inks are fairly expensive and I am reluctant to buy knowing the printer is having the nozzles problem. Consequently, the both printer life is only nearly as long as the ink cartridges that came with the printer - very disappointed and environmental unfriendly!

I bought this printer when I went to college solely because it was one of the cheapest wireless printers available. Unfortunately, as hard as I tried (I tried HARD - I'm an Information Systems major!) I couldn't get the drivers to work with my 64-bit laptop. After re-installing my operating system multiple times to insure that the printer drivers were uninstalled completely, I came to the conclusion that the Epson drivers for this printer are not compatible with 64-bit processors. After 6 months, I finally figured out the problem: for some reason the driver turns off the print spooler when it installs.To fix this problem you can go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Right-click Print Spooler, then click "Properties" > On the General tab, next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected > If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.Obviously, that took awhile to figure out - about six months in fact. If I had purchased this printer from Amazon I would have returned it within a week. Sadly, I didn't, and had to put up with a useless paperweight for six months as I paid per-page to print out my schoolwork. Now that I have the drivers working the printer does what it should. The ink runs out quicker than I would like, but since I would like it to last forever I suppose I can't have everything. Overall, it's a good product if you have a 32-bit processor or know how to restart your printer spooler.

Pro: Fancy looking and nothing else.Con: Ink was quickly exhausted after printing a few b/w documents and pictures. 0% tolerance to OEM or refilled ink cartridges. Once one cartridge is nearly exhausted, the entire printer stop working, even the scanner stop working. The integrated nozzle cleaning process is totally useless and only it was designed to exhaust your expensive ink. The WI-FI connection process is annoyingly complex and unstable. EPSON is disgrace to entire printer industry. They don't even pretend to put any passive effort to the design or manufacture of their product.

This is our second Epson NX515. I have had several over the last 10 years. We use our printer on a daily basis for work and home use. I teach and we run a home base business; so our computer gets lots of use. We like this printer. My only complaint with Epson, every printer I have owned by Epson ends up having to be replaced due to clogged ink jets. No matter how many time I clean them, eventually I have to get a new printer. That's the frustrating part. This last printer last me a little over a year. However with that being said, I love the quaility of the printed page and the pictures. Will buy Epson's in the furture.

Aside from the fact that this printer eats up ink like no other, once the ink is low, all functionality (scanning, fax) shuts down, despite the fact that functionality such as scanning would not seem to need any ink. I rather buy a new printer (NEVER again Epson), than spend another dime on this one!

I bought this printer and started having problems with missing sections on papers. Had to call my friends in India and after an eternity they replaced the printer. However, after 8 months it's doing the exact same thing on the replacement printer. Sections missing, new black ink sucked dry, followed head cleaning instructions, bought new cartridges and this piece of junk is not printing correctly. I read other reviews while trying to find a fix and found that if you don't use this printer on a regular basis the ink can clog up the printer head and cause problems. Now i am into new ink about 50.00 and decided to buy a new printer to avoid the frustration of dealing with this thing.

This printer is ridiculous, save yourself some pain and money by NOT getting this piece of junk, the software that runs this printer is just messed up... heaven forbid you ever run out of ink because then it turns from an ALL IN 1 printer to just a GIANT PAPERWEIGHT with a bright LED display... I gotta admit when I first purchased this thing I was in a sort of honeymoon phase, SUUUUURE it was loud as hell and scared the crap out of my cats each and every time I remotely sent a print job to the printer, the quality of the print jobs WERE nice... until I discovered that you'd have to have a high print volume in order to keep this machine healthy otherwise the ink dries out and makes all your other print jobs just awful. Sooo this printer to say the least was just a printer.. I can't review the scanning because I was never able to scan using this machine... in fact I thought I could save it by converting it into a scanning only machine but apparently if you have no ink you have no scanner either (that doesn't even make sense!)SooWe purchased a new printer in hopes to have awesome print jobs and the fact that this machine was all in 1 was great and we went for it.We didn't print a TON of papers per week or month or day THUS the ink dried out (within 1 month) we replaced the ink several times but apparently the ink dries out in the nozzles so now it's clotted and pretty much useless.We REALLY needed a printer so we went out and purchased another printer to use because this one was not working anymore... my boyfriend asked that I get rid of it and I argued that JUST because it doesn't work as a printer doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to use it as a scanner in my office area.He was right.. I should have junked it. I just set the "printer" up to be used as a scanner in my mini office area and to my dismay it wont even allow me to use the scanning feature... all it frikin says is "Cannot Recognize ink cartridges" and the option "OK PROCEED" any other button I hit prompts me with "Invalid Operation" thus I cannot even use the SCANNERGIANT PIECE OF CRAP! This is the most retarded thing ever, I can't believe Epson would design this machine to be so dumb that it can't even SCAN when it is out of INK... you don't even need INK TO SCAN What the hell?!so I actually rated the scanning quality as a 1 star since I was never even able to try it out due to the dumb programing of this machine. Very sad....

As the happy owner of several excellent Epson printers, I was confident in my selection of the Stylus NX515. The NX515 is simple to set up and easy to connect to via a wireless home network. Print quality was excellent. Scanning worked just fine.After the first six months however, it proved to be an unwise investment. The ink cost related to clearing up head clogs has exceeded half the cost of the unit. At times the printer will report that a full cartridge is empty. Paper feed has now become skewed.I only use Epson inks and decent quality papers - and had printed with this unit almost daily. I have determined that it is time to move on, and cannot recommend this unit or those in this Epson printer family which use the same printhead technology.

I shopped around for awhile before I purchased the Epson NX515. I bought it to replace a very cheap Lexmark printer. The cost of the ink replacements for the Lexmark was so expensive, almost as much as the printer itself, and the print quality was very poor. I was glad to get rid of it.The NX515 does everything better than my old Lexmark. It prints amazingly fast, a little noisy, but nothing too bad. I am a grad student and primarily use it to print out my papers, but I was very impressed with the photo quality of this printer, much better than the cost would indicate. The ink colors are seperated which is a must have feature, I no longer have to replace my color inks just because I ran out of blue. Just replace the colors as they run out. The inks overall are about half the price of the Lexmark inks, and seem to last as long. There is even a very great price for replacement inks here at Amazon Epson DURABrite Ultra Ink Cartridges (68) - Dual Pack High-Capacity Black (T068120-D2). One 68 Black Ink at my local Wal-mart cost almost the same as this dual pack, and the dual pack on Epson's site is about $10 more, so Amazon is the way to go for the ink.I was able to get the printer recognized on my wi-fi and lan with out much of a problem. There is one con if you are going to hook up your printer over LAN. There are some functions of the printer that do not work over LAN, such as; can't print to both sides, also information such as ink levels are not displayed on your PC, but they are on the printer. I eventually hooked up by USB because I like those features.I wish it would have had a better paper loader, at this price it was not expected. Also, the paper exit tray seems very flimsy, especially the little plactic lip, im afraid it will break off when I fold it out and push it in.Overall a great printer for the price. The NX515 I bought at a tremendous price from Amazon. Even cheaper than it is now. But even at that price it's good. If you want a decent printer for around 1 Benjamin the NX515 from Epson is definitly a good way to goPros+Great Price+Very good quality, both for papers and photos+WI-FI, Ethernet, and USB hook-up+very fast printing+Decent ink costCons-Cheap paper tray-some functions not included if hooked over a LAN

After much reading Consumer's Reports and reviews on Amazon, we settled on this the Stylus NX510 because Epson had good reviews, this printers had a decent price, and moderate good print quality & print speed. I have it attached to a Windows XP desktop, and it is networked with a Vista laptop and an XP netbook. We are very happy with the print quality and speed, the ink cartridges could not be easier to load. My biggest complaint is that the cartridges are a little on the expensive side, I try to buy the extra large cartridges in both the black and colors when I can-those are worth the price, I know I can get them direct from the Epson Store but they are full price there, so if I can get them I buy them on Amazon (the extra ink ones are not always available) or if I am forced to, I just buy the normal size. Otherwise, from my experience, using this as a home/personal computer, its a great choice. Also, easy setup and good customer service from Epson.

I've had the printer for about a year now. It was okay the first few months, but then had problems printing wirelessly. It was *extremely* slow (and I know the network is fast). Not only that now it doesn't print. Every time it prints, any kind of paper "slants" and gets jammed in the printer, not to mention this is the "Hummer" of inkjets...no, not as in good. As it goes through ink like a Hummer goes through gas. If you want a lousy print, poor ink management, and way overpriced, this is the printer for you!

I have never had a printer that I hated as much as this one. If it is out of ink in ANY of the 4 cartridges it requires, it won't let you do anything. You can't switch to black and white, you can't even scan (which doesn't require ink!) Cartridges are comparable to other brands but this printer SUCKS ink. We have tried the larger cartridges, but it still takes them out really quickly and again, if even one is low it won't let you print. Frustrating!
