Epson EcoTank ET-2875: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Epson EcoTank ET-2875 right for you?

The ET-2875 is a 2024 European retailer edition in the ET-2860 family, usually sold with a white finish and extra 104 ink. It brings the same faster head, front cassette and auto duplex to households that found it discounted. Everything from driver downloads to maintenance is shared with the ET-2860, and the sealed waste ink pads remain the long-term limiter.

Best for: Bargain hunters finding this variant cheaper than the ET-2860

Setting up the Epson EcoTank ET-2875

Install the ET-2860 or ET-2875 driver from epson.co.uk/support; both packages cover this unit. Smart Panel on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi handles setup and firmware. Enable duplex in the driver after installation.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink bottles (fill each tank to the upper line), and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Epson's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Epson EcoTank ET-2875 uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• Epson 104 Black
• Epson 104 Cyan/Magenta/Yellow ink bottles

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
