Reviews for Epson Expression Home XP-400 Small-in-One Printer

I like the fact that I can print straight from my iPhone and Laptop however that's about all ! It is very noisy and the ink runs out extremely fast. Once it runs out of ink, it will not print in any other color even when you change the settings and the color of the font in the document. I purchased new Epson black ink cartridges from Staples and since I replaced them I can print but the quality is awful and the text is gray. I have to figure out what is going on with the ink and I am really frustrated because I was enjoying this printer up until I started having issues with the ink. Was easy to set up and has no cords.

In terms of its print and scan functions, the Epson XP-400 is fairly basic. There is no duplex printing or document feeder, for example, so if you regularly need to scan or copy multipage documents, look elsewhere.

What is exceptional is how easy it is to install and use, and the number of wireless printing and scanning options it offers for the price. It is possible to install the XP-400 and use all its features without ever connecting it to a PC or Mac via a USB cable. In fact, it's possible to install and use it without a PC or Mac at all, so it would be a great fit for those who use iPads exclusively. Using just my iPad, I installed my printer on my home Wi-Fi network, registered it with Google Cloud Print, registered it with Epson Connect services, and even updated the printer firmware.

I can now print from my iPad and MacBook wirelessly in my apartment. I can print to it from the desktop PC I use at my job, more than thirty miles away. I can scan to Dropbox, Google Drive, or email, and do all this with a machine whose list price is just a hundred bucks, and that took me only a little more time to set up than it did to unpack it.

Cool.

I have bought 2 other printers at other stores that are eprint capable and
the sales people promised it would print off of my ipad and iphones and after
hours of firmware update, software updates and headaches I had no sucess,
so I went and bought this AirPrint printer and in 8 minutes it is working great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You will not be sorry

I've had this printer for about a month and I already have problems with it.

1) Although I can always print wirelessly, the wireless scan feature will never work. It always says "Cannot detect computer".

2) Even though I installed them correctly and only removed the yellow tape (as instructed), the ink cartridges leaked and now I have to replace black and magenta after hardly using the printer.

3) It will not load paper!!!!!
Now, it will not load paper. I've tried everything and it still won't work. Obviously, this ia a huge problem because I can't use the printer at all.

4) Their website provides very little support and I cannot find a solution on how to fix my basically brand new printer.

I use it for 2010 MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and iPhone 4. Works great. I'm not one for reading instructions thoroughly. Here's steps I took to have it work on USB cable and WIFI/Air:
1. Unpacked, loaded paper and set up WIFI on printer. Very easy to do.
2. What little I read, it said keep USB cable link until program said to remove it. So I did that. Before inserting CD, I checked to make sure it had OS 10.8 listed. It did.
3. Ran program and got it to work whilst USB cable connected by not wirelessly.
4. I ran program a second time (no need to remove program from computer) and followed instructions for setting it up like new, except this time I didn;t use cable.
5. Under "Preferences/Print Scan" I have 2 of the XP-400. I specified the wireless entry as the default printer.
Prints fast, reasonable color for a small inexpensive printer. Anyone want a cheap old HP Photosmart? Was a freebie from Apple and got tired of having to fiddle with it. Had to download special software to reinstall it for OS 10.8 and problems continued. Love this XP-400- simple to install and works flawlessly.

I just set up this printer a few days ago. I bought it to use with my IPad. It was very easy to set up and it works with my IPad like a charm. I have a Canon printer which was supposed to have the Air Print feature but I could never get it to work, so I bought this little guy to dedicate to the IPad. My IPad synced up with this printer with no effort at all. I highly recommend this printer for use with mobile devices.

Just bought EPSON 400 Series Printer from the Apple Store. I am not very techy but i most say that the installation of my EPSON was nice and easy which is exactly the way I like it! I was able to connect it to my wireless system in about 5 minutes and didn't have one glitch. The quality of prints is great! I would highly recommend this Printer/Copier/Scanner to anyone!!! Thank you for making it easy...
