What are our thoughts here? Seems like a good competitor for Brother, but Epson has a bad reputation.

- Lio 4y agoMy experiences with Epson over the years have been nothing but a pain in the arse. It doesn't say on the webpage but a big part of what makes Epson so lame is the proprietary drivers. With a Brother laser printer I don't need drivers at all. I use it with Linux, macOS, iOS and Windows and it works perfectly with all of them. Epson (or Canon) inkjet printers always require massive driver downloads that takes over the printing process with their weird UI and refuse to print black and white without a brand new cyan cartridge. They might have made the ink situation better but if the rest of it functions like any Epson I've owned I'll still give it a swerve. In 2023 any office printer that doesn't work with just CUPS is ridiculous. Never again.
