Introduction
We have three computers in the house, one desktop & two laptops which are used wirelessly. Previously, I had a simple low cost printer connected to the desktop. This was fine but in recent months use of the desktop has declined so it has stood unused most of the time. To print it was a case of transfer document to USB stick, switch on desktop, print from USB stick, switch off desktop. What a pain !!
I decided enough was enough and after researching the market for multi-function wireless devices I decided to purchase the Epson SX515W as it looked good, had all the features I wanted and was a good price.
Installation
The salesman advised me to set it up on the desktop initially as it would be hard wired via USB. If you hear this don't let it put you off. The set-up works fine even if you have a single ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Epson SX515W
Advantages: Wireless function is easy, print from anywhere. Disadvantages: While the black finish is nice, it really is a dust magnet.
After having Epson printers before, I decided to go for another one. But this time, one with wireless capabilities.
In box with the printer is the power cable, USB cable (you need these for the initial set up), a set of cartridges and a small pack of photo paper.
Was really easy to set up. We use 3 laptops at home and for the first set up I needed the USB cable. Follow the prompts on the discs and it automatically detects your wireless network. For the 2 additional laptops, I didn't need the USB cable and just had to set them up as "additional computers".
It's really easy to install the cartridges. Printer has a helpful little screen to prompt you.
Scanning and copying functions are really good. When you scan an item, so long as you computer is switched on, it will appear on the little screen, just select it and it scans ...

Advantages: fast printing, great price ink, easy to use and set up. Disadvantages: bit noisy but not for long as it is so quick to print.
This printer is fantastic. I have it in wireless and it is so easy to set up and use. Now I don't have the hassle of moving the printer to where I am when I want to print. It is really fast and the quality is excellent. I have used the copier to and it was so easy to reduce and enlarge something. I have always bought Epson as they are great quality and the ink is a great price and lasts for a really long time. The online support is so helpful too, if you lose your instructional manual you can download another one online or even print one off. I think Epson is the best brand of printer to buy, don't think I would buy any other make. Great product, highly recomended. ...
