Leaking Ink Tank
Tried to save money and that was a mistake. set the printer up, filled the ink tanks, and one tank drained immediately. Left the machine alone while software was downloading and came back to a desk full of ink.

Buy a certified renew printer. You will not be disappointed.
I originally had a 3850 eco tank printer. The inks did not work properly, especially yellow. I tried to get rid of any air bubbles but that didn’t work. Instead, whatever I printed turned out to be blue. I decided to get a certified renew 3850 printer. The price was very good and I am most pleased with the printer. It works just as good as the original one.

Committed to the ET Printer Family of printers
Just purchased this printer, after having a prior model for five years and 25,000 printed pages, which thought was a very good life. Hope this one works as well for the long term!

RUN AWAY! Today's Epson, is NOT yesterday's Epson. TRASH!!!!
I've worked for Fortune 500 companies as an Administrative Assistant and as a Receptionist, using high-end equipment. Epson USED TO BE A RELIABLE BRAND. But NOT ANYMORE. DON'T BE HEARTBROKEN BY BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY. I bought 2 printers and only used the first one. It's been ONE NIGHTMARE after another and a complete WASTE OF MONEY! Even after the set up, updates and firmware installations, just getting 1 page to print successfully, without me having to run to the printer to fix some "ERROR" is impossible. I spent hundreds on basically a heavy PAPERWEIGHT! I'm pretty good with technical issues. Nonetheless, EVERY option presents another error and nothing is consistent except that I know that there will be an error. VERY INEFFICIENT MACHINE. Not excited about using the 2nd one. I only bought 2 in order to have all the options (including 11"x17" paper printing and traditional faxing). Epson should just go out of business.

Perfect size, great options and ink supply.
Was worried it was going to be too large for space, but fits perfectly. Nice to know ink supply. Bonus to have copier and scanner also. Replaced older Epson.

DO NOT BUY - Wifi will disconnect every day
DO NOT BUY. The Wi‑Fi drops every day—sometimes every hour. I’ve rebooted, reconnected, and tried every fix imaginable. This is the worst printer I’ve owned, and I’m tempted to toss it out the window.

Good purchase
Printer is like new & works well so far. It was easy to set up & works flawlessly with computers & phones. I like the ink reservoirs. Seems much better than cartridges. Haven’t used the scanner yet. Guess I should verify everything works while it’s still new.

Previously, I used an HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e (which prints using 910XL ink cartridges). I was printing legal documents and produced about 10,000 pages. Over time, the HP Instant Ink subscription stopped making economic sense—my plan reached about $31 (before tax) while limiting me to only 700 pages per month. The Epson EcoTank ET-3850 solved that problem for me. It runs without any subscription and arrived with a full set of tank ink. In one stretch, I printed over 3,000 pages, and I still have about 40% of the black ink remaining. If you are in a similar situation, I would recommend this printer. Even though it was listed as refurbished, the only thing missing was the original Epson box—it appeared very new to me. Installation took me some time. I set it up through my phone and also by downloading Epson’s printing software. At first, I printed through my phone, which seemed noticeably slower. As soon as I installed the Epson software from Epson’s website, the print quality and speed improved significantly. I also purchased additional Epson 502 ink: two black ink bottles totaling 240 mL, plus cyan, magenta, and yellow bottles (70 mL each), all costing me about $22. Overall, this printer has given me very efficient, low-cost printing—including color printing. I’m giving it 5 stars and would recommend it. While I have scanned some documents, I have not tried the fax feature, but I would still recommend it. January 25, 2026 Evans, GA 30809

So far I have been very happy using the printer, after I got the yellow ink to work.

DOES IT ALL
I've had mine for over a year. I've printed about 3 reams of paper and still have more than half of the colored inks left and about half of the black ink. 2 extra bottles of blakc ink were included. I've not had any problems with mine.

This works!!
It always works! The main reason I bought it was because my last few printers didn’t always work. Plus once I got it, super simple set up. Now that I have it, color is great!, print speed is fast. East printing on different papers and transparencies. Print from back actually lines up better than most I’ve tried

Works with Ubuntu Linux With Zero Setup
This is a "I opened the box 30 minutes ago" review so I suppose take with a grain of salt, but the setup was amazing with Linux (Ubuntu 24.04). I plugged an ethernet cable from my router into the printer (for the same network my computer is on), and I had to do literally nothing else for it to connect. Did not install anything, did not reboot anything, printer just automagically showed up as an option to print and scan and both worked (the computer was set up with another printer from another manufacturer so YMMV with a clean install). Maybe this says as much about Linux as about Epson, but Epson is certainly involved, and was a lovely new printer experience.

It is complicated, the instructions were minimal. I would not buy it again. I still have a hard time working it.

Rebuilt Epson Eco-Tank Very Good
Had the printer for a couple weeks. Set-up was reasonably easy - a few things to figure out but not bad. It's a pretty basic printer for a pretty basic price. I wish it had USB port or to for using a thumb drive. And it won't duplex scans - so no double sided scanning. You can put scans together again in software. But so far so good.

Lasted less than on month!
Purchased July 24th and going into the garbage can August 17, 2025. The printer worked ok for about two weeks or so. Then it begin giving various sporadic error messages that seemed unrelated...ink level issues, print head cleaning needed (on a new printer?), paper clogs when there were none, and finally error messages in the que. I tried everything from power downs to resets to new firmware to new drivers to spooler resets. I would have tried the Epson diagnostic program, but once downloaded, it wanted a password which i didn't have. (Because it's refurbished?) I googled and I AI'd and the only thing i learned was that this particular printer is known for these bugs, particularly the ink level alerts on full tanks. I wish I'd known that before I purchased this thing. That's on me. As far as being refurbished, I've purchased many electronic and computer peripherals and never had a single issue. Ever. But I would think twice now. I've seen other people say that they would give zero stars in a rating if it were possible. Now I understand that. Why would I give any stars to a printer that won't print? My advice if you're looking for a dependable home office printer, stick with HP or Canon. I've had HPs that worked flawlessly for years, and I have a Canon Ink Tank printer right now. It's slow as heck printing color photos, but at least it prints!
