I expected this to be better, for $500.

Thus far it seems to work adequately, but it's had some issues that seem ridiculous for a $500 printer. In no particular order:
-The paper tray doesn't slide into the printer easily. You have to jimmy it and push down on it - makes it feel like you'll break it. It should have some sort of wheeled track which enables it to slide in and out.
-The print heads clog up too easily and the "clean" function doesn't work as well as it should. After all three color nozzles clogged up completely, I had to run the clean function four times to unclog them.
-The printer always makes you select a paper type after you pull the paper tray out and push it back in, which is not acceptable because it doesn't show all possible paper types. If you don't at least press "OK", it will not print. I've never had a printer that did that - you put in paper, tell your computer to print, and it prints.
-The wireless functionality is finicky. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, for no apparent reason.
-The paper feed system sometimes grabs several sheets at once. This is a common problem for printers but at the $500 price point, even if that extra price is due to how you won't be buying expensive ink cartridges for the life of the printer, it shouldn't be an issue.
That said, it does seem to do its job of printing quickly and economically. I've put out over 1,000 pages from mine thus far and the ink levels haven't fallen much. I'm not yet ready to say that I regret having bought it. However, one would think, by now, that these piddly little problems would have been engineered out of printers.
I would recommend this to a friend!
