Canon Color imageCLASS LBP632Cdw – Wireless Duplex Laser Printer, Single Function, Home Office, Mobile Ready, 22 PPM Color, White

Great For The Price
I’ve been using a Canon monochrome printer on one of my computers for years; with zero issues. So I thought this printer would be a good choice to replace my old HP inkjet. Setting this up was extremely easy for the most part. The worst part was entering my wifi password. The experience was similar to texting on a 1990’s flip phone. Other than that, everything went smoothly. Print quality is good. The noise level is not excessively high. It is a fairly heavy unit, so a well built stand should be used. The documentation that comes with it is not very detailed, so expect to go online for some of the setup info.

Easy setup with USB, haven’t gotten wifi or bluetooth running yet
Print quality is very good. Fast, duplex. The instruction booklet is worthless – throw it away and ask online. Hooked up to my laptop using an old USB cable (not included). I tried to figure out Wifi and blue-tooth but no luck. No instructions on wifi setup in the box. Display panel terminology is a bit weird.

print quality is great, user experience not so much
You would think that in 2024 getting a network-attached printer to print from a modern OS like Windows 11 would be trivial right? Unfortunately that’s not the case.First problem: This printer refuses to work with my wireless network. I have a Wifi 6 mesh system in my house and this printer sits less than 4 feet away from the main unit. It can detect the wifi network with no issues, but rejects my password EVERY SINGLE TIME. I’ve even tried changing the network password to 1234 to make mistyping it literally *impossible* but each time the printer will tell me that the wifi password is not correct (spoiler alert: it is not). This is the ONLY network device I have bought in the past 10+ years that I’ve had trouble getting to connect to wifi, and it’s supposed to be easier than ever these days.Okay fine- I’ll connect it wired- like I said, the device is 5 feet away from the router so I’ll just plug it in. Network detected, great! Now I’ll just set up an IP reservation for this device so it always has the same local IP address.. nope, my router doesn’t see it. Like it literally _does not show up_ in the list of clients, even though the printer says it’s connected.So even though it’s 2024 and I’ve bought a _wireless_ printer, I’m stuck with a ridiculously long USB cord and using windows printer sharing so everybody on my network can print. Absolute disappointment.

Good price/adequate/works as it should but interface is clunky and unit is LOUD
The printer is fine. Canon isn’t known for ease of use in their printers. The print experience is fine. For a no nonsense business printer if you just print occassionally it’s fine once you get it all set up.HOWEVER, you won’t be able to print if you’re trying to be quiet. This thing is LOUD when it’s running. A lot of clunky mechanical noises. Also the LCD is super low quality – it’s like an 80s calculator. It also took me like 5 tries to get it to connect to my home network. It’s also large and kinda heavy – well larger than other units in it’s category… It won’t be easy to hide or tuck under a desk.So for the price – I think it’s just fine. But I wouldn’t be shouting from the mountain tops about it. It’s “good enough for government” as they say. It’s a solid 3.5 stars..
