Very Useful

[@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.

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.

I have this model and love it. However I want to get it for my mum and she doesn't have wifi. Can it be SET UP without wifi? I know it has the USB cable to connect to a computer.

[@epsonamerica]

Hello, and Yes, you can set up without wifi via the USB. When doing the first-time install it will give you that option to choose.

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

[@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.

I am unable to use apple AirPrint with this device, I have called your support number and they can’t find a fix either. What do I do?

[@epsonamerica]

Hello! When you install our drivers on your mac, please use our driver for your printer because we offer the full features for the printer. AirPrint does not. and we do not write drivers for AirPrint. since it's an apple product.
