Printing is slow or the printer stops printing when I try to print from Windows or my Mac. What should I do? To control the printer and use the copier function, there’s a 10.9in colour touchscreen. This is large, clear and easy to use, and it can be tilted out from the bottom edge so you can still use it if you’re standing in front of the printer.

There are dual paper input cassettes at the front for plain or photo paper, as well as a CD/DVD/BluRay tray for printing on white-faced discs.

Everything’s brought together by a handy 10.9cm color touchscreen with an intuitive interface and, for remote operation via a smartphone or tablet, there’s the ‘Epson Smart Panel’ app. Connectivity options include USB, Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and the printer also features an SD/HC/XC card slot and PictBridge port. As a result of this I’ve created profiles for quite a few papers (Epson and third party). These were made using A3+ target sheets with just shy of 3000 patches per target. The targets were measured with an X-Rite i1iSis spectrophotometer and profiles created with i1Profiler.

I can't print from Windows with a wireless connection after I replaced my router. What should I do? This is a printer that can fire the printing enthusiasm – sure, paper will cost and the inks will need filling up, but it’s easy to use. A printer for the modern user, the EcoTank ET-8550 allows you to print, scan, and more directly from your phone or tablet using the Epson Smart Panel app1, or print from SD cards and USB flash drives through the 10.9cm colour touchscreen. With full Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Ethernet connectivity, integrating this printer with your existing home set-up will be a breeze!

The Epson Smart Panel App enables you to control your printer from your smart phone or tablet1. Print photos, copy documents, set up and troubleshoot your printer, and let your creativity flow with a wide range of artistic templates! The Epson installer places a range of Epson ICC profiles for different Epson media onto your computer. That’s fine, but I also wanted to test the printer with an assortment of other papers.I wanted to see if it could be used for something a bit more taxing. Scanning a watercolour painting and printing as a greeting card. I have a video about this and will shortly have a more detailed article. I’ve not tried printing from InDesign I’m afraid – have you tried installing and printing from Epson Print Layout? It can work as a plugin in Photoshop. If your needs are less intense, then, buying the Epson doesn’t make a lot of financial sense and you’d be better off choosing the Canon instead. The paper tray seems best used for plain paper and thin photo paper – almost all my photo prints and cards went in via the top. This firmware update should only be used if your printer's control panel displays a recovery mode error.
