Epson Expression Home XP-352: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Epson Expression Home XP-352 right for you?

The XP-352 and its twin the XP-355 added a small colour screen and an SD card slot to the budget XP-255 platform, letting families print photos straight from a camera card. It uses the same 29 cartridges and slow engine. Owners appreciate the screen for Wi-Fi setup, and the printer holds up reasonably, though cartridge recognition complaints and pad-full warnings are common as units pass five years old.

Setting up the Epson Expression Home XP-352

Choose your 2.4 GHz network from the LCD wizard, then install the driver from epson.co.uk/support. Photo printing from the SD slot uses the printer menu; choose the paper type carefully to avoid washed-out colours. Epson iPrint or AirPrint cover mobile printing.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink cartridges, 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 Expression Home XP-352 uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• Epson 29 Black
• Epson 29 Cyan/Magenta/Yellow
• Epson 29XL high-yield cartridges

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.
