This printer is awesome. I bought it to use on the road for my business. With an Apple IPad I can print wirelessly anywhere, add a cheap 400 watt inverter you can even print in your vehicle. This printer creates it’s own “network”, you can easily find it under general settings,(WiFi) on an iPad. With adobe scan you can take a picture of any document and print copies on this printer. There is a cannon portable printer available too, but for the price difference I chose this model. At first it’s a bit confusing trying to direct connect the iPad and printer, due to the fact cannon wants you to use your wireless network, just ignore these instructions, turn on printer and look for direct print under available WiFi networks.

Best Printer For the Home

I received this printer several days ago after my previous Canon Pixma died. That Canon printer was similar to this one and lasted four years and two changes of location. I did pay about $100 for that unit and selecting this one at half that price did give me pause. After reading some of the other comments I admit to some hesitation but I'm happy to say the set-up and printing went as smoothly as possible. There were a couple of situations I had read about-failure of the unit to draw paper and difficulty getting a computer to recognize the printer-so I was on the look-out for those problems particularly. Here's some observations: There are several orange pieces of tape and protective pieces of plastic that must be removed. This includes on the printer itself as well as the provided ink cartridges. And because the printer is mostly plastic it should be lifted and carried from the box by placing your hands on each side of the unit and not on the front and back. When loading the paper, don't overload it and be sure the paper guard is secured properly after loading the tray. Both issues can cause the unit to fail to draw paper. There is a booklet of instructions included as well as a download site to assist in set-up but I recommend using the included DVD if you have a DVD slot on your computer. This eliminates almost all decision-making including accessing your wireless router. In other printers I've had it was necessary to input the security key for your router which often led to difficulties and failure. No such problem exists here as it will automatically interrupt your router to secure the signal and turn it back on when completed. Before I began, I also deleted all files from my computer that were necessary for the previous printer. I can see where this set-up might have difficulty if previous files are present, particularly if you're installing a printer from the same manufacturer. Now, because I have a slow download speed, the entire set-up took more than 30 minutes and at times I found myself wondering if something had gone wrong as the set-up appeared stuck. But patience was finally rewarded as the set-up concluded. The DVD will print a test page once your set-up is complete to determine if there is printer head alignment issue. This might be another area of issue for some people although it's easy enough to run a printer head alignment test if there is a problem. I didn't experience that either. After my set-up I also was prompted by the DVD tutorial if I wanted to print from some other device-for me I wanted that option for my cellphone. That, too, was easy. I downloaded the app from Google play (I have an Android) and again, by following the prompts on my phone it connected immediately to my printer. It was necessary to pick my printer from a list on the phone as well as picking the type of paper in the printer, but those were easy. I've since printed a number of various pages and not once have I experience a paper draw problem. Certainly if you're going to print a lot of pages and if you do that frequently, then this isn't the printer for you. But if you're like me, who occasionally prints a page or a few pages, then I highly recommend this printer. Yes, the ink is expensive, and what comes with the printer isn't a lot, but at this price for a reliable good printer, go for it. Hope this helps.

Five Stars

Seems to be working very well! I've had it for about a month now. Simple to install.

Personal use

I am not much into writing reviews but in this case i will. When i see other reviews knocking this printer down it makes me wonder what some people expect to find in a printer that cost much cheaper then one would expect. First of all, this printer is very solid and not cheap in design. It is very user friendly and performs extremely well. You could not buy ink for the price that this printer sells for. Customer service is one of the best. (if you should need them) I suggest you get off your Negative Horse and remember you get what you pay for. If you have any Negative feedback in your head, keep it to your self and don't purchase this printer. Because as i see it any printer you buy will not satisfy you and you will find fault no matter what. (A message to Cannon and Amazon) This is a great product for the money and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I recommend this printer to any one who is looking to save money and enjoys its performance. jg

highly recommended

I've had this now for two months. I can't get over how long the starter ink cartridges are lasting. Set-up was easy, just followed the clear step-by-step instructions. Using the different functions took a little getting used to, but once learned this printer is a delight to use. This printer replaced a similar (i.e., price and functions) Canon FINE printer that I had for nearly ten years, printed thousands (no exaggeration) of sheets, no problems whatsoever, never had a paper jam, but something about ink overflow absorbers being full that I couldn't figure out how to replace, so I figured it must be time to get a new printer.

Least expensive product is sometimes the best solution.

I have the printer in the closet on a shelf. I’m confused by some of the reviewers that judge the printer of having low quality. This printer is primarily used for home use. This is our first printer that we can use separate from any cables. The setup was straightforward. Updated the software as requested and boom the first test page worked without a hitch. All on our WiFi. We haven’t had any problems. It has the features that I need. When the ink runs out it will be replaced with canon ink. Well known fact that our buying habits are purchasing items that are the less expensive route. If the printer manufacturers put a software glitch onboard the printer so be it. The online websites allow us to shop around and get the best and lowest price ink while still staying with the manufacturer. If the printer blows up we recycle it and shop for another one. Printers are always less than the price of ink. As with most electronic items kid gloves has to be in place to have the product last.

Low price but high quality

I love Canon printers and was worried since this one was so cheap that it wouldn’t work well at all. But it surprised me and works great for being such a low price!! It does all of the printing, scanning and copying I need and is wireless! I definitely recommend

great printer!

great printer. i bought this printer to print return labels and airplane tickets. prior to this i was forwarding these to the office to print but for $50 i can have my privacy! this printer alow me to print from my ipad, iphone and samsung s9 phone. it was a bit tricky to set it up but if you know your way around the wifi setting you should have no problem. the only thing i would ding this printer on is that it is a little slow.....besides that for what we needed from a printer it works perfectly!

GREAT CHOICE FOR ALL IN ONE

Prints really well and for me the winning features are wifi and apple AirPrint support and also automatic double sided printing!!! I you are thinking in buying, Buy it!

Other negative reviews made me nervous, but...

All the other negative reviews about the setup process almost scared me away from this printer, but I'm glad I bought it anyway! I really don't understand what everyone was complaining about. I easily followed the directions and got the printer connected to my laptop and smartphone via WiFi even though I am not super tech savvy. So far this thing seams great especially for such a low price. It may not keep up with heavy duty printing needs, but it gets 5 stars from me because its exactly what I needed for the lowest price I saw when shopping around!
