    Got one (WF-2810) at our favorite online retailer monopoly and am pretty happy. The software is ugly and in some places unintuitive but works well, and it allows off-brand inks but “warns” you about them. It also prints relatively slowly (compared to printers of other people) but it really isn’t bad and I’ve had the current cartridges in for the past two years and they still work perfectly after a quick (automatic) refresh. The scanner is ridiculously slow though - I don’t mind but I can imagine it annoying some.

    Can recommend if you don’t print a lot or something!

      I’m pretty sure your scanner is scanning at a ridiculously high DPI or something, had this problem with some Epsons and it could be fixed in the software, there are two softwares too, one is scan smart and one is scan 2
