Q: Does this printer come with ink cartridges or do I have to buy them initially, too?
A: The answers given are incorrect. While this printer does come with cartridges, they are specialized cartridges called "initial cartridges" and can NOT be used to print or copy .. you can ONLY use the cartridges that come with the printer to set up the printer initially. After the set-up you will be forced to buy new cartridges or else the entire unit becomes unusable. It won't even let you scan or fax, which don't use ink, until you go out and buy new cartridges. So while the previous answer given was "yes" it does come with cartridges. In reality, no it doesn't. Not cartridges that can be used to print or copy anything Again, the cartridges it comes with can only be used to align the printer and for the initial setup. After that, the printer will become fully unusable, until you replace the cartridges with new ones. So really, YOU HAVE TO BUY NEW CARTRIDGES with this printer or else you won't be able to use it.

submitted byOrlando - 5 years agoTarget expert supportA: Hi, Becky! Regarding your question about the 4) Pyle PLMR24B 3.5" 200W Box Speakers + PT260A Home Digital Stereo Receiver: It hosts three RCA inputs. You might need an Aux to RCA adapter to plug in your 3.5mm audio jack devices.

submitted byOrlando - 5 years agoTarget expert supportA: I already had a jack from an old printer, so I used that. However, you do need to buy a jack for the printer if you want to print without wifi. Please note that you will also need to buy printer cartridges for the printer as the printer will not accept the cartridges that it came with.

submitted byRobert - 5 years agoTarget expert supportA: The printer does NOT come with a USB cable. So if you want to use it via USB you will have to purchase an additional cable. You will also have to purchase additional ink cartridges because the cartridges that come with the printer can only be used for initial set-up. After that, the entire unit will be unusable until you replace the cartridges.

Q: Does it come with ink?
A: Once again ,the responses from Target are incorrect. While this printer does come with cartridges, the cartridges it comes with are called "initial cartridges" and can ONLY be used for the initial setup and alignment. After that is done, the entire unit will become unusable until you go out and purchase all new ink cartridges. You won't be able to scan or fax let alone print anything. You can even access the settings. After the initial setup, the printer will just show you an error message until you replace the "initial cartridges" with new ones. So in reality, no this printer does NOT comes with ink that can be used to print anything besides the alignment pages.

Q: I can't figure out how to select "draft quality" when trying to print from my Mac OS 11.x. I have it hooked up using wired USB. Print quality only shows STANDARD or BEST. I want to print B&W in draft mode, and ideally duplex when multiple pages.
A: Hi need help, You should be accessing the application-specific print settings for your WF-2850. Select Grayscale and choose a print quality setting from the dropdown list. Quality settings vary depending on the paper type you select. Regards, Syd - The Epson Team.
submitted byEpson - 3 years agoBrand expertA: I figured it out. When it first connected, the mac defaulted it to the AirPrint driver. AirPrint drivers don't support the "Draft" quality selection. I had to download the Epson driver, then modify the printer setup to use the Epson driver instead of Airprint. Then I was able to see the additional print quality selections.
