Setup was very simple -
- remove some stickers
- insert ink
- plug it in
- navigate to setup - wifi
- it found my network
- use the arrow keys to enter the passcode
- done, it was on the network
- my computer saw it and was able to print to it
Other positives from initial use:
- Print quality is excellent.
- The size is nice and compact, with the paper in the back and the print tray tucking away when not in use it takes just a little bit desk space.
- individually replaceable ink tanks is nice and more efficient than having all the colors in one
- Packs in a single sheet scanner and copier in as well
The price point for all of this is remarkably low. It packs a lot of functionality into a small, nicely priced box. The only thing I feel is missing relative to a higher end model is a multi sheet feeder for copying/scanning.
A note on price though:
Obviously the "game" here (and with all these color ink jets) is that they're practically giving away the device to sell the ink. At the current pricing, the cost of a set of replacement ink is about 60% of the cost of the entire initial purchase (which includes a set of ink). That is, 40% of the initial purchase is the hardware and 60% is your first set of ink. So moving forward, each set of replacement ink you buy costs more than the hardware!
So to understand the economics of buying this (or any printer), you want to look at ink costs relative to your expected printing volume. If you have very low volume of printing a sheet or two now and then, this is a steal at this price. If you print more than that, then ink costs are more important than initial costs and the replacement inks on this one aren't cheap.
This little machine is wonderful. Easy to set up...low profile...not too slow at all, and the print quality is FANTASTIC!. I've had Brother, HP, Canon, Dell and more, printers and not ONE compares to this picture quality; and, I haven't even tried it on photo paper, yet! (The worst quality was from a small, similar sized Brother, and the others...meh. But this one, it's definitely a keeper. We'll see how the ink costs go, and I expect it to be higher. But, I do have a very good larger Brother that is really great for everything, except photos, and also is super fast.)
First, let me say, I don't usually take the time to review something unless it is very good or very bad. Second, let me say, I am only mildly technically savvy. My fifth grader is going to surpass my knowledge soon. With that said, this printer is very GOOD! The printer was reasonably priced and ink refills also seemed to fit that bill. Setup was effortless. The quick start guide included in the box is easy to read and understand, and walks you right through it. I downloaded the epson print app from the app store and I can now easily print from my kindle or my android phone.
Epson printers were recommended to me by very astute friends who recommended Epson printers as first choice.
I needed a smaller size desk top printer and the Epson 440 seemed the perfect choice for my home office.
The printer easily hooked up to my home wi-fi setup, and began printing effortlessly. Much easier than a cannon that would not connect AT ALL. The Epson 440 is not 'quirky' or surprising in any way. You want a printer for your parents or grandparents? Get this Epson 440. Look no further....and smile! A+++
Inexpensive basic all-in-one. It isn't fast but it produces good quality output. It was absolutely dead simple to install. it connected readily to our WiFi and we are able to print from our Chromebox, Chromebook, Android phones and Tablets. Great price, quick and easy install. There is nothing to dislike. It was a great deal.

Description
*This product uses only genuine Epson-brand cartridges. Other brands of ink cartridges and ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function properly.
Packed with convenient and practical features, the Expression Home XP-440 Small-in-One printer makes everyday printing a breeze. Its hi-res 2.7" color LCD makes setup and navigation easy. Use the built-in card slot to print borderless photos PC-free. Plus, affordable individual inks mean you only need to replace the cartridge that runs out. The compact XP-440 allows you to print from virtually anywhere, with or without a network — even from your iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or smartphone. And, its 100-sheet paper capacity means you’ll reload paper less often. You can also print Instagram and Facebook photo collages and more with Epson’s Creative Print App.
First off, I have only had the printer for a month. Amazon asks for reviews way too early to have fully evaluated the product. With that in mind, I would say that so far the Epson XP-440 printer is good. The one drawback I have encountered is that it does not include OCR for the scanner. You can save a document in editable PDF format, and then copy and paste into a word processor. But that does not always work. You cannot save a scanned document directly as an MS Word or rtf document.
So I will tell you that I use both OEM cartridges and cloned cartridges and have for about a year since I bought this printer. And YES, I have the latest firmware update. This printer does everything it was designed to do and does it quickly and easily. Setup is a breeze and it connects via wifi with no problems at all. Great little printer and for the price you can't go wrong. I own 3 of this model and none have let me down yet. Highly recommended.
THEY ACTUALLY KEEP UP WITH THE FIRMWARE UPDATES. The most I like about this printer is it actually works when I hit print. We rarely print, and when we want to print I want it to always work. All of my previous printers never worked when I wanted to print and printing has been such a pain. This printer actually works when you want to print. It updates, and I can print from my Mac Chromebook and PC without any worries. And yes I have all three.
I don't like that you have to connect a usb cable to scan to the computer. I do like that it is wireless for printing.
-Print quality is very good
-Printing is reasonably fast
-My wife loves the Wifi direct connection for printing music from her phone
-Small footprint was great for my needs.
-Easy to replace ink that is cheaper than HP
