Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this because I wanted a new printer as user-friendly and reliable as the Canon Pixma MX860. This is NOT that. First, instead of a solidly-built robust machine, the Pixma G4210 is flimsy and easily broken. Second, instead of a nice, readable, illuminated LCD screen, it has a practically illegible non-backlit LCD display that is extremely hard to see, and even harder to navigate through. Third, the setup via wireless is awkward and difficult to understand. Fourth, for whatever reason the delay between hitting "print" and something actually happening is so long that you think there's an error somewhere. Which there might be because the wireless setup is so difficult. When it finally starts to print, it's fast enough, but it only prints one-sided (and only scans one-sided) unlike the old reliable MX860. Fifth, if you want to set it up to print wirelessly from an iPhone or iPad, forget it. It's theoretically possible using the "Selphy" app, but I haven't been able to make it work. The iPad scans for the printer but never seems to find it. Bottom line, I don't know what model is the current equivalent to the MX860, but this isn't it. I may eventually figure out how to make this flimsy piece of expensive junk work, but it puts me in perpetual state of frustration.

Was the easiest set up I ever did for my computer.

Canon designed a very good inkjet. Lots of ink capacity. No more expensive cartridges.

Always been a loyal Canon printer owner, but the "brain" on this one stopped operating correctly and wasn't worth fixing, so bought the same one to replace it. However, before opening the box, I kept shopping and bought an Epson for the first time which prints faster, but has trade-offs, too. So, returned this Canon printer. Printing speed is so much slower than the Epson, so would not recommend to a friend for this reason. Canon customer service that I needed and couldn't reach for two days is not open on weekends.

Overall happy with the choice. Only complaint was setup for internet is quite difficult. Had to pay $70 for Geek squad for assistance. Should have been free. Otherwise it would be rated 5 Stars

It works very well prints beautifully and I absolutely love the pictures quality and clarity

Had to replace an HP printer, looked at reviews and recommendations... Decided on the Megatank printer.... So far so good... Only downside is cannot double side print with my Macs...

The price was right it does the job that I needed to add color is very easy.

Installation was easy. Although, not use to the ink part of it. But it’s known for longer ink life.

So far I really like the printer works as advertised. My reason for the 4 star is the LCD isn’t backlit and is poor resolution to start with. It should at least have a light you could activate but it doesn’t.

I purchased the cannon printer for home use I print more in black or mono and I like the fact that the ink is individual with bottle fill ups instead of cartridges which are quite pricey.

this is my main photo printer, and best of all that the ink is very affordable and last long.

I've been wanting a tank-type printer for quite a while. I have been happy with Canon printers over the years. I only wish I had realized it will not automatically do two-sided printing.

Easy setup, and like the idea that it shuts itself off after a set time.

Fast and easy setup. The new ink replacement system is why we bought it.

A good home office printer, covering print, scan, fax--all I need in one.

Wish it had a paper tray instead of loading from the back. But I like the printer and the eco ink reservoir. I wont have to buy ink for a long time!!

I have had the printer for about 8 months and I have only used about a quarter of ink in each tank. This means that at the current rate, a single fill should last a couple of years. With my previous printer which used the more usual individual cartridges, I would need to purchase at least a couple of sets per year at a cost far higher than the refill bottles for this printer.

This replaced a HP Officejet-copier/printer/fax machine. I wish I bought that one again. It was way better than this Canon. It allowed me to print on both sides. The Canon doesn't. Also, the Canon constantly shuts off. I have to go turn it on when I want to print. Which is very annoying. I'm hoping it will at least save me money on ink. I shall see.

Meets my basic printing and scanning needs. Easy to set up. Really like the wireless printing and refillable ink (opposes to cartridges).
