Good to Me

great printer for the price

love the wireless printing & ; scanning . It is small take up almost no room. and i find it to be about the same noise level as any other printer

It did take some time setting it for wireless , but if you read Thur the manual it a breeze

Great printer

Spent $800 on a printer that I'm unable to use until Canon sends a cartridge. No local retail stores handle the cartridges.

Great printer scans, and copies great

not easy getting to go wireless. great tech support though

Awful Product

Avoid this at all costs. I went to assist my neighbor with their new printer that wouldn't work for them. Installation is horribly bloated but if the product worked as it should it would have been easy for a non-techy. So I ended up being there for 3...

Might work for some people

Horrendous bloated software install. Wireless flat out does NOT work, printer will not see SSID for Wi-Fi and will not work if info is manually entered. No RJ45 for wired op and network setup

Cheap wireless printer

I read reviews about this printer before I set it up, wireless installs fine, everything worked right out of the box. I don't understand why people had a hard time with wireless.

Good wireless printer, and good overall printer. Comes with ink. Wireless

East Setup Perfect So Far

This is a great all around printer for a good price. If your looking for an inexpensive and simply wifi printing solution, pull the trigger.

Wifi was a lot easier to setup then i thought. Just install the software, follow the onscreen instructions, and i was up and printing within 20 minutes ; This printer seems perfect for light duty printing. The response time through wireless is under...

I wouldn't put much weight on this machines photo printing abilities. I used the sample photo printing paper included, and while the pictures came out decently, i wouldnt buy this is one of its main duties is going to be printing photos

Worse than dying

Buy a cheap laser printer. The only reason I own this is because it came for $30 with my MacBook.

The scanner functions do work well

The printing part, well, not so much. I have never printed more than single-sheet jobs without the thing jamming. The wireless setup is infuriating because you cannot set the device to join a wireless network manually; you have to use their diabolical...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

does not print 30ppm

i have still yet to use the photo printing function. when i said including color photos in the above, i meant on regular paper (8.5 x 11) not photo paper. but im sure that function is no faster than any other equally priced photo printer so im not...

it came with ink (dont listen to anyone who says the ink will only print 15 pages, ive printed wayyy more than that, including color photos)

the scanner is not wireless, or at least i have yet to figure out how it works. for me it prints about 6ppm (give/take). i know in my previous review i said it was fast but i also said i hadnt printed a whole lot
