I would rate the printer 5 star except for basically two reasons. 1) Rarely do I rate anything at maximum. There's usually always room for some improvement. 2) If you're running Mac OSX Snow Leopard or Lion, you're going to lose some functionality. I agree with most reviews that the output (color photo) quality is nothing short of stunning. Black text is more than adequate but probably no better than any good ink jet. Setup of the printer (wireless mode) is comically easy. The automatic document feeder seems to work flawlessly. The paper cassette is a really nice touch being able to have both standard letter and photo paper simultaneously. The overall ergonomics and design have been done really well. If you’re looking for a new all-in-one you’ll be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t consider the Artisan 837. Oh, and btw, after a firmware update it supports Apple’s AirPrint technology. REALLY works great. Now, to my point 1 and 2 above. Point 1, room for improvement. I’m not sure how, but a manual paper slot would be a nice addition. If as an example you want to print an envelope you have to pull the cassette out, remove the letter paper, put in an envelope, re-adjust the paper guides, re-insert the cassette, print, pull the cassette back out, put letter back in . . . You get the picture. Certainly not a deal breaker but to my point . . . Point 2, Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7 The problems that exist here simply need software and driver development, but when that will happen . . . What you currently are missing is scanning using Epson Scan and faxing. I’m running OSX Lion. The current Epson Scan software isn’t supported and while I’ve toyed with the idea of installing it anyway, I’m confident that best case would be scanning with only a USB connection and I want wireless scanning. You CAN however scan (wirelessly) with Apple’s Image capture and/or Preview applications. Both default, EVERYTIME, to using the flatbed which simply means if you’re wanting to scan using the ADF, you first have to let it do an overview scan as though you had manually put something on the scanner bed and once it’s finished this you can then select the ADF, put a piece of paper (or multiple pages) in the ADF and it works great. There’s even a nice touch that if you want to scan multiple pages/documents and want them as one (in case of scanning to PDF), you simply check a box and it takes care of it. I’m hoping that Epson updates (soon) Epson scan as it does offer some level of control more than Image capture and Preview. While however the Apple apps are a workaround, they do work, and well. There is NO faxing from a Mac application using the Artisan 837. Having said that I’ve not tried faxing using a USB connection but that would defeat the purpose of a wireless printer. Fixing this problem is going to require a driver update from Apple and there’s no way to know if/when this will happen. All in all, I’d buy it again. It’s a marvelous product from Epson and certainly lives up to the reputation Epson has in the printer market.

Pros: Good quality printing / fast printing Cons: Flimsy catch tray, very easy to break, really cheap and poorly thought out. Paper tray also flimsy, holds very little paper, tries to be all things to all papers, ends up being very complicated. NO included directions on how to use cd printing tray. Wireless set-up went well on a Mac, but only after downloading files from Epson that are not mentioned in the manual. Scan software also not included in installation CD. Overall, installation CD is incomplete and rushed to market. Top tray on automatic document feed has very little flexibility for width of paper....very poorly thought out. OVERALL - a decent all-in-one printer that essentially is another box for Epson to sell you ink for. In my opinion, this is a poorly constructed printer with much room for improvement.
Comments about Epson Artisan 837 Multifunction Printer:
I bought the Artisan 837 four months ago and could not be more pleased. I create mostly 4x6 and 5x7 color prints, and the unit quickly generates excellent-quality images. Controls are intuitive and easy to use. The 837 replaces my Artisan 800 that used too much ink and produced inconsistent, poor-quality color prints. I highly recommend the 837!

The biggest problem we ...
By Beth

Comments about Epson Artisan 837 Multifunction Printer:
The biggest problem we have with this printer is that it will quite often grab 4 or 5 sheets of paper at a time and it will print partially on all of them. It's quite frustrating when I am trying to print several pages. It wastes a lot of time having to reprint them. Also, I can't get it to print with cardstock which would be nice. I don't like the paper tray because the paper doesn't stay straight and my documents often print slightly crooked. Lastly, the magenta ink leaks occasionally on my documents. Im not too impressed by this printer.

Unfortunately the first All in One printer didn't work. I bought it on another site and didn't connect within the 30 return period. Epson stepped right up. Sent me another with prepaid return label for the broken one and I had it in 3 days! I hadn't d even sent in the warranty card. Now that it's working, I'm thrilled. I can print from my tablet, NetBook, or ultrabook from anywhere in my house. Especially helpful since I'm basically stuck on the sofa recovering form a hip surgery. The photo quality is good. I haven't tried to use the basic edits. Scans quickly, prints fast and holds a good amount of paper. It it's rather big, but does replace four other machines. Go Epson! They stand behind their products regardless of where you get them, or what discount price you paid. And they have quality stuff that doesn't break your budget.

Comments about Epson Artisan 837 Multifunction Printer:
Was very upset when my 810 broke, I used it a lot for my business so I guess it's no surprise. I talked to some people from Epson, went through some troubleshooting and the conclusion was that the inside gears needed to be replaced and that I would have to take it to a repair shop to get replaced, and the cost was more then buying a new one. I called Epson again and they recommended the 837 I went and checked it out and it looked almost the same & had the same ink so I bought it. I don't regret it, I love it! It's a lot quieter then the 810 and prints a bit faster, I also love that it does not make the little grind noises the 810 always made! Love it! Thank you Epson!

Comments about Epson Artisan 837 Multifunction Printer:
Great product. The only thing I would add is an easier way to manually feed paper when you have a special paper for example you need to use for just a page or two. You have to remove the tray to load it. One of the technical problems I have is more than one page being pulled in at a time from the tray. One final note, if you want to save roughly 90% of the cost of ink, obtain and add a CIS, which stands for continuous ink system.

This product has worked well so far; the only complaint I have to date is the paper tray seems somewhat 'flimsy', and multiple sheets of paper are sometimes pulled through when printing which is an annoyance.

I have had this printer since November and so far I have been very happy with it. It is easy to use and the printing and photos are very good. I have it set up so I can fax which again is easy to use.
