The Epsom XP-8500 is a smart looking unit that takes up far less space than my previous all-in-one printer. The touch screen is easy and pleasurable to work with. The print quality is excellent and the supporting software is of a high quality.

It is appallingly difficult to set up. I preferred a simple USB cable connection (spotty wifi in an old stone house and the printer seemed to interfere with my wifi to computer). It took me ages to get the damned system to work my (simple??) way, and I still don't know how I finally cracked it. Lousy information provided with the printer and in online sources tries to force you into a wifi connection or nothing, then everything slows down and glitches. NOT IMPRESSED! Anyone with little computer savvy would be totally at sea. It should be easy. Also, build is quite flimsy. But it does (eventually) print and scan well.....so far

Found this printer very frustrating to set up via wifi, the computer recognises the printer but according to the printer it cannot find the computer when selecting scan to computer, it will scan to a memory card but will only name the file in numbers, there are no options. When scanning via the computer, in the preview section there is no manual crop, the scan feature on this printer is auto. When copying a document the printer uses scanning which then chops off both the top and bottom of the produced documents. When using the scan to computer feature the select computer feature is left blank, you then get and error message telling you to download the epson event manager, when installed you receive a successfully installed message but get the same error message in scan to computer. I have never in my life come across a printer that is so frustrating to use, the printer is anything but easy to set up and use and the pinpoint scans, copies and printing pictures is not worth the hassle. Would I recommend the Epson XP - 8500 certainly not especially if you have a short temper span. I've had to walk away from it in order to attempt to try and fix the problem later on, it's got me into a position where I want to throw it out the window. I cannot find a section where I can turn off the wifi for a usb connection. when setting up and loading the software disc there is no user preferences so unlike my old printer I cannot select the services that I want to install or use.Read full review

Well pleased with this printer. I have had a few Epson printers over the last 30 yrs but I always had difficulty with printing on card as it wouldn't feed in properly. It was worth spending the extra for this printer as it's quality of photos is excellent and thicker media is no problem - it even prints my CDs.
