5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Home/Small Office Wireless Printer, September 17, 2008
By givpilot (Groton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
  
Epson has a very nice printer in the Workforce 40. It won't suit the needs of a large work group in a busy office with heavy printing requirements, but it's just perfect in a home/home office/small office environment.

I was a little reluctant to set up this wireless printer myself (I almost asked my friend, the geek, to come do it for me) but it was actually quite simple. The quick start guide is very clear and the on screen instructions are quite precise. I had the printer up and running on two computers, one running Windows XP and the other Vista Home Premium, within 30 minutes of opening the box.

The first page out time isn't spectacularly fast, but the succeeding pages print very quickly. Epson claims up to 27ppm, which is probably not too far from what I'm seeing.

The print quality is excellent. Not laser quality, but pretty darn close. It also prints photos very nicely; not as nice as my big $$$ Epson R1800, but I didn't expect it too, either. The photo quality is just fine for family photos.

All-in-all, I'm very pleased with this printer. A wireless printer, with this quality and at this price point is a real bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent + Seamless Mac interface, April 17, 2009
By RSD48 (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Bless Epson for actually including a written manual! What a luxury these days!

Set-up to my Mac Airport Extreme wireless hub was so easy. INCLUDED in the box is an ethernet cable that can be detached after set up to go wireless . My desktop and notebook speak to this printer without hitches. Everything about this set up was so much easier than when I tried it with an HP. Print is very crisp.

There is even an EXTRA HIGH capacity black cartridge in the box. The color cartridges are the regular size. Buyers should know that larger versions of those cartridges are available from the Epson website if your needs lean in that direction. The Epson ink is also highlighter friendly - no smearing. The first page takes just a bit longer because the nozzles on the cartridges are being charged. After that all moves quickly. My needs are not photo oriented, but more of personal office type printing. There are Epsons with broader ink choices for pro hard core photo use. But this does print very nice snapshots. Here again Epson is a step up - the inks are formulated to make your photos very long lasting.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Advertising Leads to Wasted Time, February 21, 2009
By Paul D. Mulner (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Epson WorkForce 40 Wireless Color Printer (Black) (C11CA27201)

First the positive: the wireless setup was easy, the printer looks nice (hard to find small wireless printers these days), and the print quality of text is excellent and of images is very good.

Now the negative: It feels cheap. Very thin and flimsy plastic that I can't imagine lasting long in a small business environment.

Now the really bad (why I returned it): They lied. The Amazon page for this product says "Built-in 2 sided printing." Any reasonable person would understand this to mean that the printer has built-in duplexing. But this isn't the case. Instead, what they mean is that you can choose "two sided" printing from print options and the printer will print one page of the document, spit out the paper and allow you to put it back in to print on the other side. This is called "manual duplexing" and has been available with every printer for quite a long time. This advertising is misleading, but it's not Amazon's fault, it's what Epson advertises on their site as well. Total, total nonsense.
