Epson EcoTank L3266 and Brother DCP-T430W are A4 ink-tank all-in-ones that both print, copy, and scan, with Wi-Fi plus Wi-Fi Direct, manual duplex, and no ADF. The buying decision is document speed, paper capacity, the control panel, price, and current stock — not a marketing “printer category” label, and not counting the same functions twice.
Choose L3266 if it returns to stock and you want a lighter body (4.1 kg vs 6.3 kg), a 3.7 cm colour LCD for walk-up copy/scan, and higher inbox yield (about 8,100 black / 6,500 colour pages vs 7,500 / 5,000). You give up ISO speed (10/5 ppm vs 16/9) and a 100-sheet tray, with borderless only up to 10×15 cm. It is currently unavailable at $155.
Choose T430W for everyday A4 documents: higher ISO speed (16/9 ppm), a 150-sheet cassette plus a 1-sheet manual feed up to 300 g/m², and borderless up to A4. Its LED shortcut panel is simpler than Epson’s screen. Duplex stays manual, and there is no ADF (that feeder belongs to higher models such as T730/T830). The documented Middle East wireless band is 2.4 GHz. It is in stock at $125.
Verdict: the printer you can buy today is T430W, and it is the better fit for most home/small-office document work. Do not buy L3266 now; if it returns, pick it for the screen, lower weight, and extra inbox ink — not for A3 or ADF, which neither model has.
Print/Scan/Copy, A4, manual duplex, no ADF, USB with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, dye CMYK ink, 1200×2400 optical scan.
The DCP-T430W. L3266 is out of stock (qty 0) while T430W is available. T430W is also faster on ISO (16/9 vs 10/5 ppm), cheaper ($125 vs $155), and holds 150 sheets versus 100.
Based on current prices, DCP-T430W Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option. It costs $125.00 versus $155.00 for EcoTank L3266 Printer. The price difference is $30.00, about 19.4% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
Yes for steady A4 document runs. Use the ISO figures: 16 vs 10 ppm mono and 9 vs 5 colour for T430W. Do not mix those with draft/max speeds (33/15 on L3266 and 27/11 on T430W); that is a different metric.
No. Both copy and scan from the glass only, and duplex is manual on both. Do not assume an ADF from the T430W name; the automatic feeder appears on higher models such as T730/T830, not this one.
If you want the 3.7 cm colour LCD, a lighter 4.1 kg body, and higher inbox yield (8,100/6,500 vs 7,500/5,000). About $30 extra is not justified if you need speed, paper capacity, or a printer you can buy today — L3266 is currently unavailable.
Yes. L3266 is borderless up to 10×15 cm; T430W can go borderless up to A4. Small photos may be fine on Epson; full A4 borderless documents or prints need Brother’s wider capability.
Do not assume that on this ME unit. Brother’s Middle East specs list IEEE 802.11b/g/n, i.e. 2.4 GHz, plus Wi-Fi Direct. Both printers connect over Wi-Fi or USB and neither has Ethernet.
DCP-T430W Ink Tank Printer is currently in stock at EvoLink in Damascus, with shipping to all Syrian governorates. EcoTank L3266 Printer is currently out of stock; you can inquire about availability.
