Beware this product: this printer is a scam to sell ink cartridges (hence the cheap price).

Every time you print with an Epson NX100, you will see an ad to "buy more ink" from the Epson website (where ink is overpriced). This is annoying, but does not kill the product.

What kills the product is that the ink cartridges contain a chip that tells the printer when you should buy more ink (this is 175 pages). While my cartridge has plenty of ink, the chip tells my computer I need to buy a new cartridge. I cannot print again until I buy a new cartridge or hack a way to reset the chip (checking now for software online).

Since a new set of cartridges costs more than the price of the printer, and refilling the cartridges manually is not an option, I may very well end up buying a new printer now that the ink has run out in my Epson NX100. What a scam. What a crap product. 175 pages is all you get?

If there are any positive review for this product, they are from people who have not yet printed 175 pages.

Worst printer I''ve ever used.

Maybe Epson has found a way to make money in the extremely competitive printer market, but their approach is offensive. The printer comes with extremely short lived cartridges. Replacing the set with decent ink one time can match the price of the printer. Once the your color cartridges are done, which happened very quickly with little to no actual use, the printer does not work at all (even for black printing only). AND Epson has added additional sensors so that electronically resetting the color cartridges, which works for early Epsons, does not allow you to print in black ink only.

The printer/scanner combination, on the other hand, seems solid, if slow. But it costs much too much to keep running. I have decided that it is cheaper to junk this new 2-month old printer and start over.

Epson has made their ink proprietary, which means your only option is to buy and rebuy ink every month or two in tiny, wafer thin cartridges designed to expire quickly. And they''ve rigged the cartridges so that you can''t buy refilled ink cartridges cheaply online; it has to be the Epson brand. Utter anti-consumer waste.

I picked up this printer on sale at a store, because of its extremely low price. Buyer beware. If you visit Epson''s own site, the FAQs acknowledge that the printer will not print at all if any one of the colors of ink is expended. So, you can''t print in black ink if you''re all out of blue, even if your document is all black text. No way to print your document in another color the printer shuts down completely and cannot be used until you replace the depleted cartridge. And I''d say that 175 pages is extraordinarily optimistic. I doubt you get 100 pages before a cartridge is depleted, and then the printer is UNUSABLE until you replace that color cartridge. Total ripoff.

I received this printer as part of a package with my Gateway computer. I agree with the others that the Epson NX105 printer is just a scam. The ink may or may not have actually run out but the printer stops printing even when some of the colors have ink left in the cartridge. At no point did my printing look light as was the indication of low ink with other printers. The order ink from Epson screen comes up and is virtually impossible to get rid of. I hope those who gave this printer a good initial review will go back on line and re-review once they have printed 100 pages and have a printer that refuses to print. Reviews are the only way we have to punish the makers of such a consumer un-friendly product.
