I have a Canon MP287 printer with external/added tanks and 'had' the same problem you have in terms of ink flow from the external tanks. I left the L210 for 8 days without use and had no issues with it on return, unlike my old canon ink tank printer which would dry up after only 3-4 days of non-usage. I like it.Īs with any inkjet printer, it is advisable to print a test page every few days to keep the inks flowing. Scanner is a little slow but the scanning mode options available are excellent.įor the price it is a good little ink tank printer which fulfils our needs without having to worry if the ink will dry up on the print heads if its not used for a few days. Printing quality is very good and I was surprised how quiet the machine is.

I recommend downloading the latest software and drivers from the Epson website and not use the supplied installation disc. The L210 fulfils our needs and is easy to set up. Wi Fi was not a valid option as a fair amount of scanning is required by us all. As they tend to do a reasonable amount of colour printing for projects I wanted a printer that was economical and quite hardy as it would often be moved from room to room. Similar to the OP, I needed a printer for use by my two teenagers and also a limited amount of use by myself. Once it's working I would buy one myself as the printing looks very good and the speed makes the Canon look comatose in comparison. Tomorrow the shop that supplied it is coming out to have a look as after I gave up the IT chap took a look and also gave up. After checking all the connections of the tanks and what not I tried again and gave up. It doesn't matter how long you press the reset button or combinations of buttons the thing still tells you to 'charge' the ink tank. I followed the instructions and then Googled and found many people had the same problem. The whole lot cost 700 baht, a bargain as we print hundreds of pages a week.īack to the L210, one problem I had was that you must 'charge' the ink tanks before you can print anything. No more air blocks or other problems anymore. A new black cartridge, refills for all the tanks and a general service to get the printer back into shape. Lungbing, I had exactly the same problems with the Canon (a workhorse of a printer) until I found a decent computer shop to sort everything out. My first impression was that it prints very nicely and much faster than my Canon inktank printer at home. I just came across the Epson L210 at work today, they bought one for the new foreign teachers office.
