Epson WorkForce WF-7820: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems
The WF-7820 is the current wide-format WorkForce all-in-one, faster than the WF-7710 with a 50-sheet duplex ADF and the 822 cartridge family. The WF-7840 adds a second 250-sheet cassette and the WF-7845 is a store variant of that. It remains the standard choice for small businesses that need 11x17 scanning and 13x19 printing, and it is also commonly bought for sublimation. Keep the pigment head in use and buy genuine 822 cartridges to avoid recognition errors.
Sold in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia. Sold as WF-7840 / WF-7845 (two-tray variants) in United States; WF-7830 / WF-7835 in Europe.

Setting up the Epson WorkForce WF-7820
Use Ethernet or Smart Panel on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Install the driver from epson.com/support, which also covers the WF-7840 and WF-7845. Define 13x19 for the rear feed and assign cassette sizes on the touchscreen.
- Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink cartridges, and load paper in the tray.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
- 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 WorkForce WF-7820 uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.
- Epson 822 / 822XL (US)
- Epson 35 / 35XL (UK/EU)
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.
