Review on 🖨️ Epson WorkForce WF-7620: Wireless Color All-in-One Printer with Scanner and Copier - Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready by James Pfettscher

The printer is about 18 months old (warranty expired) and has printed about 500 pages. I was just trying to print a color document on plain A4 single-sided paper. The printer died with a dreaded "0x97" error (according to the internet this is said to be a fatal hardware error/component error). I observed the same error with a plain black and white document. Searched for remedies on the internet. Nothing official found from Epson, only 3rd party "answer" sites (unfortunately assume Epson can't really help). Third-party suggestions ranged from tossing in the trash and replacing (useless) to unplugging and removing/reinstalling all ink cartridges (with the printer's knowledge/cooperation as if replacing them. Pretty helpful). Did the complete trick: cleared print queue, unplugged, waited about 5 minutes, plugged back in, ran ink cartridge replacement protocol, uninstalled/reinstalled all ink cartridges. After all, the same color document that previously failed to print properly. The dreaded "fatal hardware error” turned out to be anything but fatal. I'm happy. Although I don't use the printer extensively (volume wise), I do rely on it to print/fax urgent documents, and I find this kind of nonsense quite tiresome. Conclusion: This model is flawed. He lost my trust. I'll be watching closely how long this lasts. I will replace it with a Hewlett Packard model if/when it fails. Update: Also just had to run the head cleaning routine over 20 times to fix the black injectors which is ridiculous. I don't know if servicing HP printheads is more or less easy, but for now it's another reason to try HP. Update: Downgrading my rating for this product to 1 star. I keep bumping into 0x97. Errors and cannot always be resolved by turning off/unplugging the power cord and removing/replacing the cartridge. Requires repeated use of this tool. If consecutive 0x97 errors occur, can I only print a few pages at a time before the printer fails again. A big problem. I can seemingly work around PERMANENT printhead clogging issues (if I can get the printer to run at all) by choosing the highest print quality settings (seems to minimize/eliminate smearing and distorted output at the cost of greatly increased print time). WILL BE MY LAST EPSON PRODUCT! Owning this printer has become a ridiculous circus. by choosing the highest print quality settings (seems to minimize/eliminate smearing and distorted output at the cost of greatly increased print time).
