I have been using EPSON L220 since 2016 and recently due to my mishandling of carrying it vertically ink leaked into board and got short. The replacement cost was more than its residual value, so I decided to go for a new printer. My preference was once again EPSON and this EPSON L3152 in specific. But due to its shortage in retail stores and little late delivery date in amazon, I decided to opt for HP as I already own a HP laptop too.
The only drawback what I noticed during my comparative study is that the Printing Speed. No one can beat EPSON. For a ordinary user or a first time buyer, we may feel that it doesnt matter much. But believe me, if you had to take a print out of 100 pages notes or documents, waiting for it to print really matters. But still I have opted to go for HP as amazon promised to deliver the next day morning and even I thought of giving a try to a different branch. Following are few of the advantages I have noticed in my last 10 days of usage,
1) Installation is easy, just follow the instruction sheet or there are "n" number of videos in Youtube guiding you step by step. I watched youtube and installed. Need not wait for service engineer.
2) Filling ink was great. In EPSON in my previous L220 filling ink was always a shabby wory, as there used to be spillage. But the bottle HP gave was awesome, ink enters even if you turn upside down only if you fit in the printer. I would give 5/5 for this.
3) The printer has connection via WIFI, Wired, through Cloud prnting and also via email. Yes you read it right, the HP Printer has a dedicated email id and you just send a mail to and it prints. Note, the printer had to remain connected to WiFi. I am using wireless only.
4) Easy to print via mobile app. I dont even open my laptop. The HP app and Plug in allows wasy printing.
Cons
1) The printing speed. I was aware even before I bought.
2) I am not bit satisfied with the printer software. EPSON had much more features.
Its a good printer. I would still say EPSON is the best and HP is second to it.
Disclaimer: I have not used the latest models of EPSON. My view on EPSON is purely on my 5 year experience with EPSON L220 which was the best printer available that time.
