Just ordered this printer to replace my beloved 20 year old Epson 2200. What a great printer that has been, but print head finally gave up after my final 13x19 print. Looking forward to how well 8550 will compare to toutput quality of the 2200.

I just purchased the ET-8550 today after my Epson Stylus Photo R2000 bit the dust after 12 long years. I want to make sure I don't miss anything w/setup, as some reviews suggest using the Smart Panel App to do the install. Your video was thorough, to the point and of great education before I open the box in the next few days. This was the absolute best video. Thank you so much. **Decided to order a new table to set the printer on as well!

I received this as a Christmas present. I finally had time to watch a set up video and you are quite thorough. I feel more comfortable setting this up now, instead of waiting for my “Techie Grandson”. I would not destroy the box in case there’s something wrong with the printer, I ordered mine from B & H in NY. I never had an issue with them and the printer came very well packed. BTW, I get no money from B& H for stating this, I just believe in good value for the money and they had the better price. Thank you for your time.

I purchased one on 12/22. After one year of very light use, the paper started jamming. First the photo paper from every cassette, then regular 8.5x11 plain paper jams. After a back and forth with Epson, they sent me a refurbished replacement. I just received it today and it doesn't print. I'm getting very impatient with Epson. Just remember to register your printer. If you don't, you only get one year of warranty. Registering it gives you 2 years. I also bought an additional 1-year replacement warranty. It looks like I will need it.

Epson is absolutely HORRIBLE with customer service. It seems they don’t stand behind their products. I’ve now had two replacements for my ET 15,000 and both didn’t work right. They refused to refund me or send a different product if I paid the difference. Thankfully the store I bought from is still taking the 15,000 back regardless of it not being the original and being past the return date (bought 60 days ago).
