Excellent printer, good price great service

It seems, after 24hrs ownership, to be a good little printer. Clear, fast text printing...not tried picture printing yet, as we don't really need it for that. However, the set up is not straight forward. I tried to set this printer up following the guide pamphlet exactly...it doesn't work that way. It tells you you highlight the box containing the mast/wifi icon and the phone icon. There isn't one. The box indicated only shows the phone icon. Highlighting this box, you cannot proceed...because your phone, even with the correct Canon app loaded, won't find the printer. You have to figure out how to connect the printer to your WiFi router first; no easy task if you're not au fait with these things. I'm not, and it took me 15 minutes through trial and error to do it. After that, I switched the printer off and on again, and it now showed the correct pair of icons in the relevant box. After this, it was plain sailing following the initial set of instructions. Connecting to your router is not covered in the instructions, and this printer does not appear to support Bluetooth, which I mistakenly thought it did when buying it. (I'm probably wrong about it not having Bluetooth...there are no clear instructions on this).So if you think you can link it to your system unaided, buy it, it's not bad: if you're a novice, don't buy it...you'll get annoyed at it.

well I replaced an almost 14 year old Canon MP480 ... good thing with the old one is that I could refill the cartridges very easily, I am hoping it will be the same with the new one. Canon printers are usually made to last and only time will tell. I found that the installation process wasn't easy peasy for me, but once you get it going it should work just fine. we are using our router to connect to the printer and except for one occasion where I had to reconnect it to the network it is working well.The printer menu can do with a bit more explanation (bare in mind that I did not read the instructions nor watched many videos on youtube to learn)this printer is very quite and fast enough. I love that full duplex function so if you are printing on both side of the page this is a treat.Canon software feels redundant and a bit of a bloatware ... I tried to print a picture in a smaller that A4 glossy paper and before I could get it right I ended up printing it using a different software... anyhow the printer is absolutely perfect and I can't really complain about anything especially taken into account the features, the functionality and the look. I could very easily recommend this printer to anyone.

So far so good! Bought to replace Canon Pixma 5750 which was slow and clunky and refused to accept Canon cartridges..was never really happy with it although it lasted about 5 years. This is is quieter and faster printing although as previously stated it is a bit flimsier. The rear paper cartridge is a bit of a faff although no doubt I'll get used to it. I also don't see the point of the removable strip of plastic in the bottom paper tray but all in all, for the price no complaints so far although not keen on the combined colour cartridge. On the plus side I found it very straightforward to connect via theapp..from unpacking to up and running in around 10 minutes...and I'm an older person.

Update after several months of ownership - do not under any circumstances buy this printer.If you go ahead and buy this printer after reading this review, I'm sorry but you only have yourself to blame. I only awarded it one star because Amazon will not let you award 0 or a minus score.It is the most frustrating poorly designed piece of technology I have ever experienced. It will not print on any type of paper I have found without jamming, needing several manual resets, ages spent fishing around in its innards to remove jams, and half-printed pages spat onto the floor (because, as discussed later, why would you supply a paper tray).In 35 years of computer experience I've seldom known a printer more prone to jamming and/or feeding multiple sheets. When it does jam, it seems to have no idea where the blockage is - the LCD panel suggests an area entirely at random, and you just have to go hunting, opening the multiple doors and flaps until you strike lucky.Part of the problem is the very flimsy paper tray, which takes about half the amount of paper the design and guide tabs suggests it will. Overfill the tray (that's about half way up) and you're playing print job roulette: will it jam straight away, misfeed page 7 of 10, or print page 9 across half of two sheets? After the latest refill or jam you then have to navigate the front panel to pointlessly 'register' the paper tray, presumably because the firmware designers couldn't get that working in time so put the burden on the user instead.The design, if you can call it that, also spits the printed sheets out into thin air rather than any form of tray, so good luck if you take your eye off of it for a second and expect your printout to be in order in the same place when you get back.The printer is easy to set up on Android and Chromebook devices for remote printing. But... there's no proper standby function, so you have to go to the printer to turn it on to accept jobs before you can print remotely, which entirely defeats the whole object.And why does the front panel need to be hinged upwards to print? It doesn't block the paper path when down, and the up position makes the front panel controls harder to use. Another utter failure in the Canon design department, whose UX team should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.This printer will drive you absolutely mad and probably end up being hurled through the nearest window.I've not done that yet but have been sorely tempted. Write things out by hand, give up computer technology altogether and go and live in a cave, or maybe buy another model and brand of printer, but do not buy this printer.Do not even consider it.Please.
