Could not love this printer more!
Bought this printer nearly a year ago for my 90-year-old mother who prints the internet everyday. She’s a little demanding of a printer. She needs decent speed, she needs good quality printing, and she needs high capacity paper cassettes and high capacity print tanks. She also needs a large colored LED screen. She needs all these things because arthritis has robbed her of dexterity, she can’t see those small black on dark gray screens (neither can I), She doesn’t want to mess with constantly trying to get the wireless connection back up. She needs to just be able to print from her laptop in her house and have it actually work. Of course if she can’t get her printer to work she’s forced to call me and I get to go over to her house and try to straighten it out. She hates to do that of course so she tries to change the ink or whatever on her own and sometimes that breaks the cheap junk printers that everybody seems to make these days. Not having to change out the ink cartridges and put paper constantly into a tiny cassette solves these problems. This printer is expensive but it has paid for itself it in just my time savings. Much more importantly, she’s happy!This printer is well made especially compared to most of what you can buy today. The setup was easy. I have had to set up a lot of harder to set up printers, especially HPs, on her network. And it has so far stayed set up which is great.

While this Canon printer is difficult and non-intuitive to set up with no LCD screen, as a former programmer, I can figure anything out if it eventually ‘works’ but this was silly to get working. You have to scour over numerous Canon old help pages (current ones for this printer were unable to connect following exact directions) and decipher the various morse-code blue blinking lights on the printer to finally figure out how to set it up and then pair with your laptop. The manual and instructions don’t jibe with real life, as if those who designed it were asleep (or something else) and this thing didn’t connect wirelessly, you have to plug in a USB cable to finally get it to tether so it will finally recognize your wifi.Then finally after getting mine set up, it caused numerous clogs and wasted ink from weekly heavy cleanings. Why? because the pathetic printer design causes the ink to backflow back into the tanks when not in use, causing the print-heads to dry out and require ink-wasting flushing (likely to Canon a “design feature”). Even printing a test page every day did not prevent gravity from proving the product design to be a failure (for the customer). In my opinion, they did this on purpose hoping the customer would get so frustrated they’d buy another more expensive printer…well they were correct if that was their design process…I went back to Epson.Although this thing was a good scanner and gave me no issues there (I made more scans than prints in the ~one year I had it, the last straw was the printer just broke on it’s own and jammed, no force used, I just simply put paper in and it jammed the paper every time a print job was sent, I assume a piece of plastic broke off and jammed it, but had no more patience with this thing…into the trash bin. Even in 1998 this printer’s software would have been outdated (I used to code web pages and this now in 2022/23 ancient technology is nearly the same as then)..no clue as to why such a major printing company would still sell this low-class level of pure junk to the public at almost $300 with the otherwise smart claim to “save money on ink”. DO NOT BUY! (got Epson 2850 also ‘ecotank’ today, we’ll see..so far so good with nice prints, although adjustments will be required..I print my ‘good’ photo work on Epson 3880 and P800 and this seems to be good proofing printer on photo paper)

Easy setup. I’m not a techy guy but this went very well even without wine. Used my laptop rather than my phone so I could read all the directions. Scary how quickly it went without having to enter any passwords to access my wifi or laptop. Ink cartridge install and ink fill went smoothly. Didn’t even spill any ink. Filling the reseviours to about 80% left me with at least half a bottle of ink. In hindsight I might not have filled the colour ones so full in case they dry up. Time will tell. Chuckle to myself about all the fax features they go on about, we have cell phones so how do you send/receive a fax?🤔So for the first day, all seems good but will update this review after using this printer more. FYI, we ditched a HP because of ink $$ and it wouldn’t stay connected to my pixel 8.

très décevante comme imprimante: non conviviale; ultra difficile à configurer; non recommandable; technologie vieille ( recto verso fait sourire) une feuille à la fois en 2 opérations (vous devriez copier HP) pour cette fonction. J’ai dû payer 100$ pour faire venir un technicien à la maison pour installer cette foutue machine en wi-fi sur BELL.
