Epson WorkForce 545 Review

I work in an office and haven't had a working home printer for years. This one fits the bill. I am no techie, but I was able to get everything working without resorting to the help manual or online forums (having a LED screen with menus on the printer itself rather than looking at a computer screen was a confidence booster).

The letter tray is a big step up from the vertical feed slot of an old school home printer. True wifi means that the printer isn't tethered to my router with a USB. Being able to print directly from a memory card means that if I have my camera but no laptop I can still make prints without running off to the drugstore photo counter.

I find the print quality is on par with what you would get printing stuff out on an office machine. Speed is acceptable if you are printing out directions, recipes, short articles, correspondences and forms.

This Epson WorkForce 545 printer would have received 5 stars had the installation CD and the instructions on how to install had two things: 1) the drivers needed for Windows 7 users and 2) directions not to use the enclosed CD if you have windows 7. The item is perfect right out of the box, ink is easy to install and the tilt control panel has all the bells and whistles. 3 modes for installation - wireless, usb or ethernet.
