I cannot tell you how sad my old printer was. I think it was made sometime in the 1990s, and when it printed something, it made a noise that said “put me out of my misery already”.  So when Jennifer from The Mom Salon asked me if I’d like to review an Epson WorkForce 600, to keep, I just about fell off the couch.  The WorkForce 600 is like five things in one- it can print, copy, scan, print photos, and send faxes. Totally awesome!

The printer can be hooked up using regular power cords and cables, or connected to a home or business network, or set up for wireless access. My husband hooked ours up to our home network, and it was really fast and easy. He said, and I quote, “the driver even installed on the server without issue”. Which is Server Engineer speak for IT WAS FAST AND EASY. He also installed the included software on our server so that the printer could be accessed from any of the computers connected to our network.

The price on the Epson WorkForce 600 is a very reasonable $199.99. I’m sure you could do some browsing and find it for less, even. And it comes with all of this:

• Epson WorkForce 600 All-in-One
• One 97 Extra High-capacity Black Ink cartridges (T097120)
• One 69 Cyan Ink cartridge (T069220)
• One 69 Magenta Ink cartridge (T069320)
• One 69 Yellow Ink cartridge (T069420)
• Documentation
• CD-ROM containing drivers and software (Windows® and Macintosh®)
• Telephone cord
• Ethernet cable (CAT-5)
• Power cable
• USB cable not included

I haven’t had a chance to do any color text or photo printing yet, it’s on my ginormous list of things to do, but as soon as I do, I’ll post it so you can see how it looks. The printer supports pretty much every type of paper including matte, glossy, and scrapbook, so you could really make some cool holiday stuff like photos of your kids, greeting cards, even calendars. If you need a new printer or just want to upgrade to one that is lightening fast yet uses less power and ink than old printers, check out the Epson WorkForce 600!
