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".

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 ...

The Epson FX-1180 dot matrix printer provides high-speed impact printing and efficient continuous paper handling for demanding print jobs. The wide-carriage version of Epson's FX-880, this printer is perfect for printing databases, inventory reports, accounting files, program listings and large-volume mailing labels. This model differs in performance and features from its predecessor, the FX-1170. The FX-1180 is faster, handles more multipart forms, and includes eight built-in bar code fonts. The FX-1180 takes advantage of Epson's proven paper handling technology with adjustable dual push tractors/paper paths that continuously feed paper at 26.5 ms per line. It makes automatic paper thickness adjustments for multi-part forms (up to seven), and prints on continuous paper and labels up to 40 cm wide.
