WF-7840
My previous printer died about 3 weeks ago as the printer could not recognize one of the ink cartridges. I tried all of the resolutions I could find online and none worked except to have it repaired and that would cost as much as a new printer (in my price range of $400). So I started looking at all the printers that fit my requirements (e.g., all-in-one, able to print ...

Ink runs out after only a few prints
I bought this a few weeks ago and it worked great! After the temporary ink ran out, I bought new regular-sized 812 inks and only got 20 full-color prints--if that--before the ink said it was out and needed to be replaced. Went back to get more inks--same things. Don't know what is defective but I expected more prints. I am not doing intensive color photos, either. Will ...

Junk/Nothing but problems
Every since Ive installed, nothing but problems. Paper jams, poor print quality, ink is expensive, and now I have OEM ink cartridges and printer is now stating ink is not recognized please replace. Dont buy, stay away from this model. It was on sale at 150.00 bucks. Go figure.

Frustration with ink cartridges
I bought this product a few months ago and it was fine until the firmware update. After the update, the machine doesn't recognize the ink cartridges. I spent time on the helpdesk line and they told me to try new cartridges. Try? These aren't cheap to just try with hope it fixes the problem.

WAY TOO BIG!
My Epson WF-7720 died after years of faithful service. I journal for scrapbooking and LOVED the second tray for 12x12 paper! Unfortunately, the second tray on the 7840 does not hold 12x12 just the rear tray which when extended sits a good 7" past the edge of my table plus the height of the rear tray is an issue as well. Wanted to love this printer, but I don't even like...

So far so good
Easy to set up and the quality of the print is what you expect from Epson excellent. Have not set up the fax yet but do not expect any problems when I do. It is the same size as my old B&W copier and replaced both my old copier and printer.

So Glad...!
Moved from Virginia Beach Va to Fairport NY and turned my old, wide format printer in for salvage. HP O7612 was a good workhorse, but it was already 12 years old, and I did not want to move the thing. When I got to the new place, the Epon 7480 was on sale. picked it up and got it home and set it up right away. Had to get used to the new printer dialog, but that was ...

Work Force
Don’t buy this unless you want a piece of junk!!! I just threw my as hard as I can out the door. To heck with your maintenance box and other multiple problems. It can only scan about 10 pages at a time without a jam. I’ll never by Epson again?

Great quality, but Ink Hog
I LOVE the print quality and scan ease and quality for letter and 11x17 sheets, BUT I am very angry about the rate of ink usage and the cost of cartridges. Although I've also had a brother printer that was an ink hog, so maybe all printers nowadays hog ink. I put a brand new black in cartridge in it after the one that came with the machine ran out. I got maybe 50-100 sh...

Unreliable for the money
We have had this printer for a few years. Suddenly can't be found by any of our devices. Nothing we do fixes it. It's really frustrating when we used to use HP printers but decided to give Epson a try. NEVER again. My HPs were work horses compared to this.

Would not refund
Purchased printer as a gift. Wrong type. Wouldn't refund unopened box after 30 days. Why should I have to figure out how to resell on another site to get my money back. Shame on Staples!

Better than before..
Finally replaced my WorkForce 7520 after about 6 or 7 years, I don't remember.
This 7840 prints so much faster and clearer than the 7520.
I also like the rear feed paper tray. the 7520 didn't have this and was a bummer when I wanted to print company checks. Not that it was a big deal to put them in the paper tray with my other 8-1/2x11, but having a rear paper tray to ...

I received my printer in January 2025. When it is working it prints beautifully. So far though I have had to do multiple head cleaning/alignment tests too often. But the quality of prints for my artwork is what I was hoping for-excellent. Also uses quite a bit of ink.
