Epson EcoTank ET-2850 | Wireless Setup Using the Control Panel

[@ArsPraestigium]

It would have been nice to have Epson list the actual link to the set-up/drivers for those on a Mac or without a CD drive in the comments above, rather than just list it in the video.

I've never had so much pain and frustration trying to get this thing to print. From dozens of 1 minute pauses printing photos to constant errors of "Can't find printer on network" errors I'm ready to smash it into the wall. It's a shame too because it's such good value for money when it comes to ink

Hello, I just bought this ET-2850 printer. I want to use it both wired and wirelessly so when I'm in my home office I could just have it plugged in to my computer. But when I'm away from my computer on my phone or tablet or if my wife or sons want to use it wirelessly, will that be a problem? I've read some reviews stating that setup was a pain. I understand some people are technically challenged and I can be at times but your instructions here on u-tube seem pretty straightforward. My main thing is will my family and I be able to use this both wired and wirelessly. Thank You.

[@joshhemminger2564]

I don't think you can use it "wired".....no usb connection. Wireless ONLY, as I understand it.

[@paulsavage657]

this product set-up has been a disaster for me.

[@jamiesarkisian9769]

setup has not worked well for me either. Epson does everything for you and when it does not work it is hard to troubleshoot.

Can I use 8.5x14 inch paper in my Epson Et-2803 printer???💙💙💙🙏🏻

Can I print thick cardstock with this printer? (240 grams)

[@ThePerfectBalls]

instructional videos like this would be great if you were attempting to teach AI how to set-up a new printer. However this type of professional jargon with the white glove treatment seldom benefits those who actually seek this type of content, and isn't a preferred format for most.

[@epsonamerica]

Thank you for your feedback!

@EpsonAmerica Im thinking of ordering one, but I do NOT want it to hook up to my wifi, I only need it hooked to my laptop. Is it possible to use this printer without hooking it to my wifi?

[@epsonamerica]

Yes, it is! Along with Wi-Fi connectivity, you can also use USB. Standard Connectivity Options: Hi-Speed USB Wi-Fi® 4 (802.11 b/g/n)9 Wi-Fi Direct®9

[@cdnqgramma3373]

@@epsonamerica Thank you !!! Hooking it to wifi, only allows the service providers to see everything you are printing... and we must be diligent with our privacy and personal data. I have one in my cart on Amazon and will now hit, purchase. Thanks again.
