Canon Pixma MX512 Wireless Office All-in-One

 

Small size. Duplex printing. Standalone copier and fax. Automatic document feeder. WiFi. Ethernet

Low paper capacity. High claimed cost per page

The Canon Pixma MX512 Wireless Office All-in-One offers a long list of features, but unless your print needs are extremely light duty, the high cost per page limits its appeal.

Good Product!!!

Ink Cartridges

 

The printer works fine, but be aware that 210/211 ink cartridge boxes with a Canon label pasted on indicating they work in the MX512 is wrong.

Not Good

 

I got this printer for Christmas 2012. It worked good until about a month or so ago. I went to scan something for school, and the printer wouldn't scan. There was a pop up saying there was a document in ADF. I swear to you, there was no document in the...

Slow Print Speed , unreliable

Does everything you need

 

This printer is great all around. It did take me awhile to figure out all the details and how each item works with my computer. But once you figure all the minor details... it's amazing.
