Epson Workforce Pro WF-3823 Wireless All-in-One Printer with Auto 2-Sided Print, 250-Sheet Tray and 2.7" Color Touchscreen - Black

This unit works flawless. I bought one of those no cartridge printers, where you pour the correct color in yourself. I wasted almost 3 hundred bucks. I tried to do everything the manual said but it will not print. These packed feature printers are not reliable. Printers donot need to be complicated.

Not a techie, but was able to figure out how to set it up - though it took about 45 minutes. What I was most impressed with was that I was able to get this printer to recognize the Wi-Fi hotspot on my Pixel 8a and print flawlessly and beautifully. The printer also remembers the password of the Wifi hotspot on the Pixel 8a when I turn it back on. I did not use the CD because I only use smartphones. All I did was touch the wifi icon on the printer screen and after putting in my password, the two were instantly connected. I then went into the Pixel settings on the web page I wanted to print and clicked share, then print and then went to the top of the menu to highlight the printer and then clicked. I was able to print on any webpage, along with my Gmail and Yahoo mail . No special apps to install.. Very easy and intuitive. There is a lot of talk online about whether or not one should download the firmware update as that will restrict you to buying replacement ink solely from Epson. Others have claimed that by not downloading the firmware update, you can save money by buying rebranded Epson ink by a third party vendor. I would be careful doing this. Thirty years ago I was buying rebranded ink from a third party vendor at a substantial discount and it worked out fine for a couple of years and then one day the rebranded ink cartridge splattered all over the inside of my printer, destroying my printer. So, I would think twice about buying rebranded ink. Yes, the ink cartridges are expensive. Maybe you can find another retailer like Walmart or other third party selling Epson ink cartridges at a slight discount to what Epson is selling it for. The bottom line here is this printer is compatible with my Pixel 8a, which likely means it is compatible with other Pixel models too. But I can only vouch for the Pixel 8a using the Wi-Fi hotspot on the US Mobile, T-Mobile network.
