Epson L3110 Scanner Driver Hot 💯

Rating (home-use lens): 3.5 / 5 — solid value, minor but tangible software/thermal annoyance.

I set out to test the Epson L3110 as an all-in-one for a small home office: affordable, compact, and promising print/scan/copy basics. The hardware itself mostly delivered — good color printing for photos and crisp text at everyday resolutions, a responsive flatbed scanner, and a small footprint that fit neatly on my desk. But the software side introduced a quirk that turned routine scanning into a memorable experience: the scanner driver gets hot. Rating (home-use lens): 3
