I had abandoned Epson years ago and switched to Lexmark printers because of the great "deals" that could be had. I decided to give up on Lexmark because of all the problems I've encountered with their printers. You get what you pay for I suppose. I figured I'd give Epson a chance before going elsewhere and I'm glad I did!
Initially I was looking at the NX515 because of the Wifi capabilities, but decided the price bump wasn't worth it. I paid somewhere around $60.00 for this machine, and I feel it was worth every penny.
The first thing I noticed, which I couldn't find in other AIO printers in the same price range, is separate ink cartridges for each color. The printer takes 4 cartridges, one each for CMKY. Each replacement cartridge costs about $13. While not the cheapest, you still save money in the long run because you don't have to replace all 3 colors at once as you do with a single multi-color cartridge.
The scanner is AMAZING to say the least. You can scan up to 4800 DPI which is more than enough for most people. At the highest scan resolution you can see each individual fiber on a sheet of paper! Excellent for making high resolution photos out of regular 4x6 film photos. Print quality is very nice. Faster than most AIO's out there. Photo printing is nice with no graininess or streaks. Edges are crisp and well defined, saturation and color matching is good.
Navigational buttons are simple and easy to use. Menus are user friendly. The small LCD screen is a big help ( it adjusts to give a better viewing angle) and turns off after a few minutes of disuse to save energy. Memory card reader is simple to use once you figure out which way they're supposed to go in. You can crop, rotate, and print photos right from the printer and it's surprisingly easy.
My only complaint is that it only comes in black! In all it's a cheap printer with some wonderful features that's a perfect companion to any computer.
Functions great, logical setup and operation, low price = good value. Wireless printing w Airport works fine October 20, 2009

This is my initial review of features and function after testing the machine for a couple hours. I'm giving this machine five stars because of its price/features value. I've seen better printers, but many of them cost twice as much and don't really offer a lot more features.
I'm using it under Mac OSX 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard), connected both via USB and via an Airport Extreme wireless router.
Document Printing:
Printing works great, similar to any other budget inkjet. It takes about 5 seconds for the machine to begin printing after sending the job to the printer. I sent a 10-page spreadsheet to the printer to test speed, and ten full pages of text took 140 seconds, so expect 15-seconds for one full page of B&W text. I honestly have no idea where epson gets the absurd exaggeration of print speed listed on this product page, but the claim is so absurd I doubt that anyone believes it.
Printing a full-coverage 8x10 color graphic takes about 50 seconds. Text print quality is really really clear, and color graphics are sharp (image quality is adjustable in case you want to compromise quality for speed). Printing works great both wired or using a router designed to allow wireless printing.
Scanning:
Scanned photos look great. I scanned one photo using both Apple's "Image Capture" app and Epson's included software using the full auto setting. In both programs, the scanner automatically pre-scanned to detect the image dimensions, rescanned at high-res, and exported a jpg to my computer's pictures folder by simply placing the photo on the scan bed and pressing a button on my screen (using these automatic settings, my 3x5 image was about 1500x1000 pixels). I haven't tried any of the custom scanning options yet, and may never try them. It is capable of higher resolution and exporting other formats like PDF. The automatic photo scanning is probably all I'll use it for. Scanning isn't super-fast but the automatic detection and exporting makes it the fastest and easiest one I've used. The scan function will not work wirelessly with Apple Airport.
Photo Printing:
I don't have any photo paper so I can't really comment on the print quality. The features of the print-from-cardreader are really nice. I plugged in an SD-HD card and it gave me options to view and print individual photos, print all photos, print photos by date range, or print a sheet of thumbnails. It's very similar to the machines that are at most photo processors these days. The display screen is tiny and low res, but it is still quite functional. I had hoped that the card reader would allow me to view the card contents on my macbook while connected wirelessly through my Airport router, but it doesn't. You can see the cards in the printer's card reader if you are connected via USB. Photo printing at drug stores is so cheap, I doubt that I'll do much photo printing, but it's nice to have the option.
Copying:
The copy function works great. It scans B&W print-documents quickly and bangs them out in about 15 seconds after scanning. The copy control buttons and software on the unit are really logical and easy to adjust. Basic functions like Color/B&W and number of copies can be selected with only a couple key presses. Making a single B&W copy literally only requires that you press one button. Basic options include color/B&W, print quality, and exposure. There are also more advanced controls for things like enlargement. It even copies photos well to plain paper if you turn the quality up and reduce the exposure a bit. I'm sure it would copy photos beautifully to glossy photo paper (which I don't have).
Design, Build Quality:
The aesthetic design and the gloss black color is every bit as attractive on my desk as my much more expensive ML-1630. Operation isn't quiet but it isn't any worse than any other ink jet I've encountered. I like that it uses four separate carts for each ink color (three individual colors and a black cart). Prices for ink are competitive with other ink jet models. I don't like that the paper tray is exposed to dust when loaded with paper, but this is a design that all budget ink jets share (a closed paper drawer is the main reason I selected the laser printer I also own). It feels pretty solid, but I can't really comment on durability because I've only owned it for a few hours.
Edited to add: I just finished reading a lot of reviews while shopping to buy some spare ink for this printer. It seems that Epson has a really lousy reputation for ink cart life. One reviewer even stated that the entire printer and scanner shuts down if it detects that one of the carts >may< be out of ink. I can't confirm this, but it is definitely a deal breaker for me if it's true. Several reviewers stated that the printer uses some color ink even when printing only B&W images, which I cannot confirm. I'm leaning toward the Canon MX860 if the ink life of this unit proves to be as bad as other reviewers are stating. I'd definitely suggest reading some reviews for the replacement ink before buying.
Setup:
I use Apple's Airport Extreme router so that I can plug my printers into the router and print wirelessly from my laptop. This is not a wireless printer unless you have a router designed for use with printers, like the Apple Airport. The wireless print function of the Airport router works great with this machine, but for scanning you must plug the USB cable into the computer (which is the case with any scanner on Airport).
To install printer and scanner in Snow Leopard and Airport: go to Epson and download the install package (easy to find), run the installer, plug the printer into your computer's USB port, go to settings> printers and add the printer and scanner as separate items. If you are using airport, plug the printer into your router (or a USB hub connected to the router if you have multiple printers/drives), and add the printer again as an airport printer. The entire setup takes about 15-20 minutes including downloading and installing the scan/print driver package, adding the printer on the Airport router's wireless network, and installing the printer and scanner via USB. If you are only installing via USB or using an older OS that is included on the Epson disk, you can cut that in half.
Full disclosure:
I received this printer through Amazon's vine program and didn't pay for it. I have been shopping for an all-in-one ink jet to supplement my monochrome laser printer and was considering several models that are priced about twice what this one is. I didn't know that this kind of quality was available in this price range. When Amazon offered me this one for free I couldn't resist. I'm very glad they sent it because hopefully my review will prevent someone else from paying too much.
The NX415 is a very capable home printer/scanner/copier. It meets or exceeds all of my expectations.

Top Ten Things I Love About This Printer March 11, 2010

I'm a writer and, as such, need a super-fast printer. I have a laserjet printer for that. But there are times when I need something printed in color. And there are times when I need to scan. And there are those photos I would really like to print up on photo paper.
Enter the Epson Stylus NX415 All-in-One Printer.
As I said, I didn't get it because it was fast. It is not. But it fills my other needs in wonderful ways.
The top ten things I love about this printer are:
10. It makes a lot of noise. While this isn't the best attribute, you do know when it's done. The noise stops.
9. It was easy to install. No searching for a special printer driver to work with my Mac. I used the disk. It was installed. I plugged it in. It worked.
8. It's easy to use. Want to scan? Follow the prompts. Want to print? Hook it up and hit print.
7. Glorious color! I never had a color printer before. It's cool.
6. It scans well. Doesn't take excessive amounts of time and delivers a good scan.
5. It copies well. While it's not a professional level copier, it's a convenient way to make color copies at home when you need them.
4. It's not too huge. I found space for it in a crowded office space.
3. It has simple controls. The buttons make sense. They do what they say they do.
2. It's a good printer for a techno-phobe. I haven't run into a function I can't figure out.
1. It seems to have a natural built-in cat repellent. For some reason, the cats don't sit on it. Maybe it's the noise. Maybe they remember that when it's off. But none of my cats sit on it and, as Martha would say, that's a good thing.
Great product December 28, 2009

I replaced an HP printer with this product. I just couldn't get the HP to work and the quality of the printing was terrible. I'm very pleased with the Epson.
