    I have this printer/scanner etc. etc.

    It's very, very good. Easy to set up through wireless too.

    Good value.

    Will it accept compatible printer inks ?

    Are you sure it was this printer, they also have the sx115 for 45 euro which i bought last week, perhaps you saw the price tag for that?

    Best thing about this printer is you can pick up the compatiable inks for a few € each. I have a printer that takes the same cartridges, I get them from our office supplies provider in work for €1.75 each + vat and theres loads of ink in them more than the genuine epson ones.

    Cheers OP! Ran into jervis St this morning hoping that my fellow boardsies were still in bed! First popped into PC World next door to see if they stocked it and they did - at 139.99 :eek:

    Thought that the OP must have made a mistake with the model no :o. Went to the computer section in Tesco and couldn't see any. Was cursing and was on my way out when I spotted a security guard and asked him did he know if there were any Epson printers on sale? He said yes, he's just spotted them this morning and took me to the shelf where they were! It's not with the other PC stuff but on a shelf near the entrance. They have two models, the cheaper one mentioned above and the wireless one. Both the same price! Grabbed one and ran to the cash desk before they could discover their mistake :rolleyes: Cheers!

    We've been short a printer for a while now and the cheap ink is appealing. Whats the print quality like?

    its not bad at all. its a breeze to set up including wireless have both my pc and my laptop paired with it and its sitting in the spare room behind two closed doors and still can print to it.

    really happy with it and the price was great.

    I have this printer. Great job it is. Although I'd recommend NEVER buying 3rd party cartridges for it. I've had the printer replaced twice after 3rd party cartridges clogged it. NEVER AGAIN. My 3rd printer, haven't used anything but Epsom cartridges and it's working a treat! :D

    I think it's fine to use the 3rd party ,as long as the heads are cleaned regurlarly. I've an epson with the multi inks and don't have trouble with them.

    Maybe so but I only had it 3 or 4 days. Second time I had cleaned them prior to putting in 3rd party cartridges. Currys told me there was a recall on some earlier models due to a related problem. Maybe I was just unlucky.

    The model I've been using is a rx685, maybe the heads are different on this one.

    Thanks a mill op was keeping me eye out for a printer like this, great price

    What's the Craic with the inks are the compatable inks reliable ? Anyone point me in the eight direction ?

    I heard you can use the Epson rhino carts that hold alot more ink than the cheetah ones that are specified

    In tesco jervis Epson Stylus SX515W High-Speed All-in-One Printer with Individual Inks and Wi-Fi only 45e. On amazon almost double price.

    Hey thanks OP, I just went to tescos in Maynooth, when got there I thought it was a mistake as could only see sx415 and sx 115's neither of which are wifi, they have a shelf near the front with half price offers but no 515's, then found two sitting on their own at the side of an aisle, they have one left if anyone is interested, its at the side(not end, but beside the end) of an aisle about two up from where you pass the customer service. 129.99 in argos catalogue, was looking out for a wifi printer as mine sometimes double feeds and needs print cartridges anyway, the tescos cartridges seem a bit more reasonable than replacements for my current HP, in fact its cheaper to buy the printer than replacing the cartridges on my current model???

    Definitely a misprice, it was 90 down from 140 when I bought it a few weeks ago. The non Wifi model was 65 (IIRC).

    I dont think its a misprice, the labels all seem to be printed up and the other printers are half price also, in all stores? either way its good value 130 in argos so nearly a third of the price

    Although the wifi 515 is cheaper than the non 415 to start with??

    In clearwater the printer is clearly marked at 89.99 down from €140 and it has one of them cross string flashing security things wrapped around it.

    No sign of anything like a €45 price.

    Maynooth had an A4 sized sign in yellow, 64.95 save 20, now 44.95, seems odd that the 415 was dearer in original price, but they cant get it back off me now :)

    Bring it to the counter maybe, ask them to check the price before you pay?? if its 45 grab it and run :) if not its still cheaper than argos or pc world
