I currently own Canon All In One that's been a great unit. In fact, I also have a fax/copier that's been an absolute workhorse. I have an Epson injet All In One that I've been using for years at my home office. The cost of the ink is outrageous - I only use it for scanning, since I have a very fast laser printer. $60 for ink cartridges is too much to pay for scanning, so I donated it and I bought this unit. This is a nice All In One. I highly recommend loading the software driver vs using the one on your computer - I tried using the Windows version and I had a couple times it locked up, so I loaded the Canon software and it works great! The scanner runs about the same speed as my other Canon unit. The quality of the scan is better on this unit vs the other Canon. The control panel has more buttons - I like things as simple as possible, so the older unit is more user friendly vs this one. The print quality is great - it's a laser! The print speed is good - about the same as the old Canon, but not as fast as my stand alone printer. I haven't bought toner yet, but I'm expecting the cost to be about the same as the other Canon. For the price, this is a great unit. Far surpasses the Epson inkjet unit. I highly recommend this All In One.

My needs were simple. I needed a printer on occasion, but did not need an inkjet that kept running out of ink because it dried up. Color was not a must, so this fit the bill. Wifi setup was easy, the printer is faster than I expected, and warm up time is minimal. The only down side was that the toner cartridge that comes with it only has 10% fill. I bought a generic for when it runs out, and am completely happy.

I recently donated my HP inkjet to goodwill because I had tons of OEM ink that the printer wouldn't recognize because it was past the expiration date. Snatched up this Canon laser printer with a deal of the day for $79, which was less than buying new HP ink for the inkjet. Total cost of ownership isn't worth it with inkjet printers when it comes to replacing the color cartridges and the number of pages per cartridge. This is a nice and economical all-in-one laser printer that prints crisp pages with ~2400+ pages per toner cartridge, especially if color isn't necessary.

I spent a lot of time reviewing laser printer ratings, including Consumer Reports as well as other website reviews. And even though there may have been other ones that would have been a good choice, I chose this printer all things considered, especially the price. I have now had it for several weeks and it works great! Very easy to set up - I went to the Canon website to download the printer information into my computer, and in under an hour I had it up and running. I am not a techno geek, and very novice at setting up these electronic devices, but if I could do this this easily, then anyone can do it. The prints come out clear and quick, and there is a starter toner included so you don't need to buy one. It is not so large as to be difficult to move or lift, but it's not as easily tucked away in a drawer as a small inkjet might be. But it is so worth it...especially since I got it on a price match with another major retailer, and saved about $100.00. So far, I love mine!

I bought this laser printer to replace my wife's inkjet printer that was costing us $200+ a year for ink. Setup is a breeze if you can follow directions. The only problem I had was that there was an orange piece of tape on the inside that looked like it was part of the printer and not a piece of tape so I did not remove it. Of course the printer didn't work the first time I tried it but that was my fault. The drivers installed without a hitch. The printer is very quick and the documents look great. When I print a document it is finished by the time I get to the printer which is just across the hall. I was a little concerned about setting it up as a wireless printer due to the layout of my house. But thankfully I can print from anywhere in my house and even from the porch outside the house. The Wifi is great and scanning is very easy. I can't find anything to complain about.

Reasonable size, clean look, good controls, quality output & competitive price. Easy to set up, download drivers and run copy, print & scan with Ethernet connection first time out of the box. Had to get a little help from customer service for wireless router set up and customer service was the best I have ever experienced. Printer now works wireless with iMac & MacBook Pro with iPhone soon to come. Auto Energy saver uses under 2 watts and printer is always ready. I transitioned from a color inkjet all in one and this mono-laser all in one is much faster with short warm up and quick quiet performance without clogged jets. I researched 4 other manufacturers and I am pleased with my choice - I will never go back to inkjet. I have only had this printer for two months so durability is yet to be proven but I have high hopes.
