Epson Stylus NX530 Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer, Copier, Scanner (C11CB90201)

 (75 customer reviews)

I have been looking for a decent printer to do some light duty work for my home. I didn't want something too expensive with ridiculous ink cartridge prices. I didn't want something that had extreme HD qualities. I came across this printer on Amazons lightening deal page going for $59.99. I noticed that the cartridges were a decent price and that it had everything but a fax (no big deal). It lacked any reviews but Epson has put out several good printers. I received the printer a few days later and set about setting it up via wireless connection. Fairly easy even without a USB cable. The instruction manual and CD instructions carry you right through the process. Easy, but time consuming. After installing the software, it goes about updating itself and then updates the printers firmware. Didn't run into a single glitch. Took about fifteen minutes from installing the cartridges to setting it at its final resting place. I adjusted the settings to conserve ink and have printed several...Read more

The Epson NX530 printer offers a lot of bang for the buck. It allows:

Wireless set-up and operation, eliminating the need for a cable completely, and allows operation from another room--particularly useful if you've got multiple computers feeding to a single printer;

Very fast printing for an ink jet (about one b&w page every four seconds);

Color printing and copying as well as black and white;

Easy LED-screen controls that are intuitive and simple;

Separate cartridges for each color ink (and a separate black and white cartridge), so you don't have to replace the whole set after running out of one color (I found replacing the cartridges very simple and quick, and they're reasonably...Read more

This is a very well designed and thought out product; extremely simple to set up, easy to use functionality and it does many things well. It is true it doesn't have a fax, but we got rid of our landline a long time ago. For the modern world, for most people, and certainly for me the ability to scan and then email is just as good.

The first striking thing about the NX530 is how easy it is to set up. Adding the printer to my wireless network could not have been easier. The LCD display screen when you first turn it on and prime the ink has an option set up wizard. I pressed OK and it found my named network right away. I pressed OK. It asked for the network password. I entered it and then the printer was part of the network. It took less than 2 minutes.

After that I downloaded the software for my netbook and used the supplied CD disc for my notebook. I choose printer already part of the network and both computers were good to go. You will want the software for the...Read more
