Did a lot of research prior to buying a replacement for my Brother MFC5200C... Was initially hesitant to go with the Epson Workforce 610 due to others' comments about slow print speed, however I am extremely pleased after setting it up and using it. This printer is faster than my Brother was, and I can't imagine needing a printer to work any faster.
Have had the printer for a few days so far, so can't comment on ink usage yet.
Pros:
--Easy setup, to include setting up as a network printer (I went with an ethernet cable connection to my wireless router since it's in the same room). Great to be able to print via the wireless network (was a pain to use the "sneakernet" with USB stick). I followed others advice to download the "combination driver pack" off Epson's website instead of using the installation CD--just follow the printed directions up to the point where it tells you to insert the CD, then run the zip file you got from Epson site. Works great.
--Scanner is fast, and very good for an all-in-one.
--Controls seem easy to use so far.
Cons:
--Nothing significant, although there are some plastic parts that seem like they could break if you are too rough with the equipment (ex. Flip-up stopper on the paper tray). Nothing to be overly concerned about, however.
Bottom line: Very happy with the choice. Highly recommended.Get more detail about Epson Workforce 610 Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer.
