Canon - PIXMA MX922 Network-Ready Wireless All-In-One Printer - Black

I have about 13 plus years experience with home computers and in that time frame my family would only purchase Hewlett Packard products i.e PC , scanner ,printer etc. We have never actually thought about any other brand until this point, because we had issues with two HP printers back to back. So of course we thought to look at other options in regards to printer products. When we were looking online we really didn't have any clue on what brand to choose. First we were just solely looking at price range, but to the help of the reviews by other Best Buy customers it really helped choose a brand and model. That is the reason for the purchase of the Canon Pixma. When it first arrived and was taken out of the box, I was shocked to see how bulky the printer was, but as soon as I finished reading the instruction manual the shock was soon over and I enjoyed the overall dimensions of this Canon Pixma printer. Installation was overall an easy set up as long as you keep to the steps written in the setup guide . I honestly wanted to just jump in and "plug and play" as they say , but I am glad I didn't because the setup really needs to be followed accordingly. Once we finished with the setup and printed our first "practice" sheet, it was amazing how professional it felt compared to the Hewlett Packard printers we have purchased in the past. That is the reason for the excellent rating overall, because due to my experience with probably 5 Hewlett Packard printers I would say this Canon Pixma has been the best experience to date. Thank you for taking a moment and reading this review, really hope it helps you choose which printer to purchase. Just like the reviews helped us :)

Purchased this when my HP broke. Swore I would never get another HP, and am so please with this Canon that I wished I had upgraded much sooner. Easy to set up and start printing. Very easy to set up the networking connections also. All setup was performed on the screen on the front of the printer. Was never able to get my wireless HP to connect to all the devices on my network, but this one has, and everyone is much happier now. Another big bonus was that I can now scan remotely. Used to have to plug in directly with my old HP, but now everything just works so much better and easier. Printing works well with the following devices, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Mac, Apple I-Phone, and Windows Phone. Very happy with this purchase!

Disclaimer: this review is made after only 3-weeks of ownership/use. Clearly future issues could arise which would influence this review if they were to be known in advance. First, began researching for new inkjet all-in-one printer about 3-months ago to replace older HP 7520 (good printer by the way - didn't have issues with it). While my subscription to CU strongly suggested another HP (same model line as my outgoing printer, but a modern one) I opted to look beyond HP. The PIXMA 922 is a recommended printer in CU's ratings. What I found when I went looking for customer reviews was I saw more issues with things like jamming and ink issues with the HP and Epson printers that were in my final round of choices. I found less of these reports amongst consumers for the 922 and its predecessor. Let's get the what's not so great issues out of the way first. I don't need a nightlight. Can anyone make an electronic device with a blue LED light that doesn't light up a whole room at night? It seems to be the nature of things these days with all sorts of consumer electronics. Second, the software installation could have been better. While I like the idea of installing the latest software right up front (the included CD directs your computer to the Canon website and doesn't install software directly from the CD, which may then need to be updated) the installation process was a bit slow and less than enlightening. There were a number of separate applications which could be installed, but very little information provided about what they were, what they did and why I might need them installed. In the end I wound up searching the web for descriptions and taking a guess at whether or not I really wanted or needed the specific software. For me personally I only need the software/drivers that make the thing work.. I don't need picture software, etc. It would be nicer if they set-up the software installation into two groups: one that just makes the all-in-one work (print, scan, copy, fax, etc.) and another group containing 'extras'. Third in the not so great section is a WTF moment... at the end of the installation it asked if I wanted to be part of a plan that would send to Canon user information to better help them understand my usage of the all-in-one. I normally don't opt into these things anyway, but I'm not opposed to them on principal. But this time they wanted to collect information for something like 10-years. Absurd. A real turn off. If they really want to get my opinion and usage information why don't they e-mail me for it on a regular basis? They have my e-mail after I register the product and that would seem to be a less intrusive route. Lastly, the main paper tray seems flimsy to me. Like it should be treated carefully. And there isn't any real backplate to it so paper installed in the tray doesn't really sit squeezed into place. It may work just fine for all I know in the long-term, but it doesn't exude confidence. However, there is plenty I find to like about this all-in-one and thus far I'm very happy with my selection. It was well packaged: safe and secure. Set-up of the physical device was easy, straight-forward and the printed guide clear and concise. Everything went together smoothly. The software, once my choices were made, has worked as it should and I really appreciate the ability to initiate a scan from my computer (one of those features my previous printer couldn't do). Regarding the actual functions I have tried everything except the faxing part as I don't have a phone line for such. The copy, scan and print functions all work as they should. The document feeder works as advertised (both sides), but I haven't yet tried two-sided printing. A paper saver to be certain, but I think there is probably where folks run into the issue of jamming more than anywhere else. Originally printing on standard copier paper (like I use with my HP laser printer) I found the quality of the text and graphics to be such as they usually are on standard copier paper: ok at best. I did run out and purchase a higher quality (HP brand - go figure) inkket-oriented paper, which I have used in the past to much better results; especially with text. This different paper helps keep the ink from bleeding into the little valleys that exist on paper. It helps keep the text more crisp looking and a 500-page ream for $8 is quite reasonable and I highly recommend purchasing such. While I have a dedicated picture printer I will make use of this 922 as well for quick prints. My text prints show generally good quality, but I find the colors (especially red) a bit muted. However, there are plenty of possible adjustments which can be made via the software to help get prints to be where you want them. This was not possible on my previous HP printer and I very much welcome this addition. With some adjustments and fiddling I have every confidence I will be able to get the prints to match my expectations. Lastly, time-to-print... via wi-fi (I have not made use of any other connectivity option at this time) the printer wakes up and receives the data quickly. However, the printer goes through all sorts of machinations before it actually prints the document. I know this is common with inkjet printers, but this 922 feels even slower than my much older HP. But after the first page is printed and the printer remains awake the time to print any subsequent pages is much, much quicker. Clearly quicker than was my older HP. The printer gods giveth and the printer gods taketh away....

Got a great deal$$$ on this printer Cannon MX922. I have only had it a couple of days but I am impressed. Very easy setup connected to my home Wi-Fi and was able to print from my Macbook Pro, Dell notebook, iPhone, iPad and Google cloud within 30min. Printing, Scanning and Copy function works well and is fast. No comments on Fax feature since I did not connected it. I really like the ADF, Airprint, networking, and duplex capabilities. The only thing I least like that it's bulkey and heavy. Takes lots of space on your desk but the good thing is you can put it anywhere in your house. Definitely recommend this 4 in 1 printer.

I purchased this printer for myself and was so happy with it, purchased the same for each of my daughters. I have an HP wide carriage printer and also an Epson 3880 wide pro printer for large output. This printer gives equal or greater quality to my Epson 3880. You have to experiment with paper and settings a bit, but I can send a print request directly from my iPhone and it knows to print a 4x6 glossy from the middle tray automatically. If I then want to print a word doc from my phone it will send it to the bottom tray without me resetting the print dialog on the phone. Same for printing from my Macs. Also great all in one features.

This is actually our second one. The first started having printing problems after a few months with broken/missing lines, etc. Nothing would resolve the problem. I had made a bulk ink purchase for the printer and liked it enough to try a second one. That one has worked fine for well over a year and lots of printing, including photos (which it does very well right off of an iPhone or iPad). My only complaint is that it periodically likes to make itself disappear from our home network. We were using it wirelessly for a long time and then it started having issues so I connected it to the LAN directly. Since then, no issue. The wireless piece seems to be associated with the type of wireless protocol or something and it's trying to connect to a neighbor or something. I'm sure it's operator error, but it shouldn't be that hard for mere mortals to make work. Good print quality otherwise.

I purchased this after my HP died! A friend had a Canon Photosmart, and the pictures she printed were amazing, so I did some research and purchased this item. Best Buy price matched Amazon's price, so it was an excellent deal! It has been nothing short of amazing! Pictures are great. It is quick, quiet, excellent quality (I print a lot of pics for scrapbooking). I absolutely love it. It also has AirPrint, so I can easily use it with all my Apple mobile devices! I have had Epson, HP and Lexmark, and this is the best by far. LOVE IT!!! It was a little tricky to set up the wifi, but I've had worse! Would definitely buy again!

This is a nice printer, IF you get it on sale. I bought this printer to upgrade from my Epson 600 workforce. I figured newer model might have new features and possibly use less ink. I have other canon products, Trust name ext, ext, ext...... Cons First off WIFI setup was a PITA ( Compared to my Epson). Seems to use more ink Then the Epson ( Not by much) Ink Cartridges cost more then the epsons ( not by much) Not a big fan of the tray that holds the printed documents. Papers easily fall off Instructions are average at best Pros Looks nicer then the Epson lol Printing speeds are just a tad slower the then Epson WIFI works great (Once you get it to work) Has a paper cartridge holder at the bottom. Has a few more features ( Software) This a decent printer, but not for 199.99 . I prefer my old Epson to this printer. I guess I could have taken this back to try the newer epsons, but this still works ok and still meets my needs. In the software this has a few more cleaning programs that are really nice. Don't get me wrong this this is a nice printer, but folks if your heart is set on getting this ONLY BUY IT, IF IT IS ON SALE. I have seen BB list this on sale for as low as 99.99. WIFI setup- spent a hour trying to get this printer to connect to my computer. Followed the instructions over and over and over again. I was about to package it up and take it back, then I tried it one more time and it connected. I didn't do any thing different........ I recommend before you hook this printer up , let it sit on your lap, pet it, talk really nice to it, again BEFORE you connect it ;-)
