This is a great little printer - set up was a breeze, and I can automatically print to it using Google Print from anywhere on my iPad (I've even sent things to it from school to home). I love the quality of the prints that come out (to me, comparable to the Epson Artisan 1430 Wireless Wide-format Color Inkjet Printer (C11CB53201) that I also reviewed for Vine. It's also a really nice scanner. However, I have a few complaints.
- First, the size. This thing is HUGE, so really look at the dimensions before assuming it will fit on your shelf. Mine almost falls off of the top of a standard el-cheap-o half size Target bookcase. Something to think of if you don't necessarily need to print 13X19 prints.
- Second, the scans aren't accessible through wifi, which would be one reason I'd pass this one by if it wasn't a Vine product. Once you scan something, you have to choose to save it to USB, then put in a USB stick, then eject it and put the USB stick in your computer if you are hooked up by wifi like I am. I would REALLY prefer if this could just sync with Dropbox or another DropDav server, or even allow you to email the file to yourself. I scan a lot of documents and this USB step means that there are 3 whole steps between a scan and my iPad (scan--> USB, USB--> MacBook, MacBook --> Dropbox). I don't like that fact, but I don't know of any other printers that do it differently outside of our departmental printers at the university.
- Third, there is a weird scaling issue I haven't been able to fix, even after several consultations of the online help forums and set-up manual. Whenever I print mailing labels (such as for returns to Amazon!), this printer scales them down to about 40% of their size, making them kind of unusable for mailing. For some reason, this occurs whether it's a label directly from the USPS site or from Amazon, so I'm not really sure what's going on. I've checked the settings, and it's supposed to "stretch to page," but doesn't. So, I print them off on my trusty, creaky HP all-in-one black and white printer and they come out just fine. Again, this could be user error, but it's an odd thing to be dealing with and I haven't heard back from the company yet.
In all, the quality of prints is nice from this, and it's really a joy to be able to scan and copy with both a document feeder and a full scanner bed to accommodate books and texts. While I REALLY wish it could send scans directly to the internet or to a computer through the wifi, it's not make-or-break if you aren't doing a whole lot of scanning. If you have the space and want to occasionally be able to print out large posters, this could be the printer for you.
UPDATE: After getting on the phone with the customer service team and finding someone who knew what they were doing (unfortunately, three tries later), I got all of the problems solved with scaling AND got the scanner to scan directly to my computer. Few things: A) If you have Mac OS 10.7 (Lion), you need to delete the included driver already on your hard drive (Hard Drive --> Libraries --> Printer --> delete Epson folder, then HD --> Cache --> delete epsonwf7510.gw file). Then clear your trash, restart, download the device driver specific to Lion from the Epson website, install, and then install the printer through System Preferences --. Printer --> plus sign --> add Epson WF7510. This sounds like a lot of work, but once it's completed it only takes 5-8 minutes. Then, if you open the printer from System Preferences or leave the icon in the dock, you have to scan from the application in order to scan directly onto your computer. But it does indeed scan directly onto your computer or whatever other destination you want, even scanning directly into Adobe. So I'm improving my rating from 4 stars to 5. Hope that helps some people - if you have any questions, put it in the comments and I'll try my best to help.

I have both this printer and the Epson Artisan 1430Epson Artisan 1430 Wireless Wide-Format Color Inkjet Printer (C11CB53201). Both are about the same cost and are billed as great photo quality but differ in important ways.
Size: This printer is BIG and it's heavy. It's bigger than the 1430 and is more of a square footprint.
You can load many types of paper including up to 13X19" which is very wide format paper. You can print onto envelopes and it comes with an attachment to print CD/DVD labels too.
Setup: This printer is wireless meaning you can print over wi-fi from any room in your house and don't need to have the printer attached to a computer. We put the printer in the closet and print from our laptop, desktops, and ipad/iphones and it works great.
Unlike the Artisan 1430 you DON'T need a USB cable (it doesn't come with it) for the initial wi-fi setup. There is a nice monochrome LCD display which finds your existing WiFi in a list and you use the keypad to enter the password. With the install CD, running Windows 7, and using an Airport Extreme router, installation was done in under 5min with no problems. You must use the install CD on every computer you want to print from.
There is a fold out control pad that is very easy to use. The button layout is helpful and clearly labeled. I really like the control layout with a nice LCD screen.
Printing: Printing from windows or Photoshop is very easy. The Artisan 1430 has presets in Photoshop CS5 but this one does not. Instead you print under a generic Epson printer. Prints done directly from windows are also easy to do. The included Epson software allows you to pick types of paper and set the quality. At highest settings, printing a 22 megapixel picture from my Canon 5D Mark II, with a color 8.5 x 11" glossy photo paper, it took under 3 minutes to print a photograph. I had no problem with paper jamming and loading paper is very easy.
You can print double sided to save paper.
Print Quality: For documents and word files this is a great printer. Printing is fast and smudge free.
I used Epson photo quality glossy paper and matte finish paper and the quality is good but the Artisan 1430 is much better. The pictures are as good as you can get from many photo printing places like Target but not nearly as good as the Artisan 1430 which is really the best photo printer they make.
The ink instantly dry to the touch without any smudging right out of the printer.
Cost: The printer itself is reasonable priced for what it is. The ink is where it gets costly. The replacement inks are 6 individual color cartridges that are easily changed, snap in and out. The cost is 47.99 for the full set of inks at this time. There are 4 ink cartridges unlike the 6 inks for the Artisan 1430. You can get around 1000 sheets printed until you need a refill.
Mobile printing: You can print to this printer with your iOS device like Ipad or Iphones with the Epson iprint app. Using my Iphone 4GS, I printed pictures and documents. You even have access to the advanced settings like paper quality, etc. Setup was literally as easy as downloading the app, picking the printer, and pressing print. Really impressive.
Scanner: You can scan large documents up to 11 x 17" without using an attachment. The scan quality is excellent but not as good as a dedicated scanner. If you are archiving old pictures or negatives you are better off with a dedicated photo scanner like the Canon Canoscan 9000fCanon CanoScan 9000F Color Image Scanner.
Copier: Easy to use with the document feeder. Copies are good but not great.
Fax: Even though you probably won't use this function it works well. A phone cable is included and it can be set for auto answer or use as needed if you only want to do it occasionally.
Paper: Unlike the Artisan 1430, this has a paper tray that you can fit around 250 sheets or half a ream of paper. You can print many sizes of paper without attachments and they all fit in the tray.
This one actually comes with free paper samples. The Artisan 1430 did not come with paper.
Conclusion:
Excellent office printer with excellent copier and good scanner. Photo prints are good but not great.
The WiFi setup is incredibly easy which should be a major plus compared to other WiFi printers which need a cable to setup.
The mobile printing from my iphone and Ipad is really a very nice added bonus feature!

Amended review after a few months of use:
In some respects this is a very capable printer/scanner/multi-function unit, but for me, it's a constantly irritating choice. If it's the best you can hope for, it's not the best. I ended up purchasing a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II printer to handle the deficiencies of the Epson unit. Together they get the job done. The Epson unit could have been a great contender...but...
Here's a list of my major issues with the Epson unit.
* Biggest issue is that it only can handle VERY lightweight paper (sub 25 lbs). Cardstock, or anything even a bit heavy like charcoal paper, binds and wont print. Useless....
* The software is PC-centric - and appears to be unclear on the "easy to use" theme. A VERY poorly written manual that's short on help couldn't explain why I couldn't get the scanner to work. After a lot of debugging I realized the printer generates multiple IP addresses and you have to find all the addresses on the networking panel and then enter them via a separate scanner setup app. I now do this on a daily basis (I scan a lot).
* Photoshop (on my Mac) doesn't play well with the Epson printer driver. Using custom paper sizes is impossible. I don't understand the thinking of a company with a high-end printer that considers Photoshop printing support unimportant.
* The scanner plastic bezel sits a few mm above the glass, so if you want to scan an image bigger than the scanner area in sections you can't because closing the lid will crease the original you're scanning. :-(
Commenters have written they have good tech support via phone (never tested it).
The Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II printer handles the deficiencies of the Epson unit. Operationally, the Canon printer is a finicky thing, but here's the deal - it works. Simple as that. You can easily set and use custom paper sizes inside Photoshop - it doesn't complain about changing IP addresses, it doesn't destroy paper - it just works.
Bottom line. Epson fell asleep before the finish line. IMHO, they would benefit having someone who is finicky about design who says "if it's the best we can hope for, it's not the best." If did it over again, I'd buy a basic Canon multifunction unit for the 80% of my office needs, and then a separate scanner and the Canon Pixma Pro9000 printer for the 20% of my art needs.
