Customer Ratings & Reviews

Avoid if you have a Mac. The functions I bought it for (duplex, etc.) are not supported by Mac. Set up will make you want to take a sledgehammer to it. The keypad is most frustrating as it is nowhere near intuitive or user friendly. My wi-fi often dropped, so having to re-connect it to the network was a pain. The printing is fine once you've calmed down from getting it to work.

Great quality. Easy setup. The printing quality is great.

The Canon G4210 is mega tank ink printer that has fax, copy, print and scan capabilities. My first impression of this printer is that it came with plenty of ink and then some to spare! I will further elaborate on key elements of this printer: Setup-of this printer had plenty of challenges! I presently have 3 Brother printers in operation all of which setup was a breeze for each. I have previously owned 2 Canon printers in the past, BJC 4400 and 5000 series printers, which were great printers. However, setup of this printer was a night mare! I had an arduous time trying to get my Wi-Fi to ‘find’ this printer! I will note, I have several Wi-Fi connections in place, and I couldn’t get any to find this printer the first 4 attempts with the included CD. Finally, while on call awaiting support from Canon, my Wi-Fi successfully found and accepted this printer! And, as setup was nearing completion, a representative answered the phone, who was very pleasant in demeanor. I explained to her how difficult setup was and that seemingly everything was working properly. She stayed on the phone to make sure that everything went well. Printing performance-I am pleased to report, despite the difficult setup process, this printer prints crisp clean legible prints that truly compares to laser printing. I did some comparison printing to my Brother MFC J485DW, inkjet printer and the Canon was far superior. While the Brother ink jet prints well as the blacks are rich in color texture and do not smudge, the Canon presents a better overall clearer printing imagery. The printer runs smoothly and while it does make noise, it’s nothing that will cause distraction. Copies reproduce pretty decent from this printer as well. This printer’s scanning capabilities are good as scans come out clear and concise. I cannot attest to its faxing capabilities as I don’t have a land line in my home. Seemingly, faxing is becoming obsolete as scanning, emailing and signature services are decreasing its needs significantly. However, it is a feature that is better to have if the need arises, but there are viable alternatives. App-the app (Canon Print Inkjet/Selphy) that Canon employs for tablets and cell phones is extremely user-friendly. I obtained the app from the Android play store and ran a few test prints. Printing from this app is great! Miscellaneous-Canon Utilities have some great included resources such as IJ Network Scanner EX2, Printer Assistant Tool, Image Display, My Image Garden, Quick Menu and Speed Dial. I found the Image Garden to be a very useful tool because I enjoy creating calendars, birthday cards, labels, collages, etc., for special occasions. Despite, the difficult time in setup of this printer, I do recommend it as Canon has really designed this printer with savings to the consumer in mind. I readily recall that printer manufactures would sell printers for cheap, knowing that their monies would be recovered in the costs of ink. Canon claims that the ink will not dry up because of the tight seal that keeps the ink moistened. I don’t know the costs of these mega bottles when it comes time to purchase ink, but I have my fingers, toes, eyes and everything that I can cross that this scenario won’t take place any time soon!

So far it works very well, nice features and good quality.

Works good and I like it the way the paper feed works. Got tired of always running out of ink and having to buy cartridges.

one of the best printers i have owned. the only problem i have with this is the liquid ink tends to dry up over time. you have to clean the nozzles on there and it's made easy with the software

Scree is in top and hard to read needs backlight printer is slow but quality’s fine.

Purchased December 2018,Print excellent,Pix Excellent

just started using. A little effort to set up but works well. Haven't tried to print photos yet

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

Replaced my HP with this after printhead went bad. Sales person recommended this as has liquid ink. Doesn't come with full manual. Had difficulty connecting to computer even with Geek Squad support. They said they don't set up faxes! Finally contacted Canon to get fax working. Cost $100.00 extra for fax! Expensive for as cheaply built as it is.

This printer replaces a 7700 I bought when they first came out with the tank printers. Very much improved printing, especially the colors. I recommend it if you will be printing many copies of many pages as it also has a feeder.

Worked well when we first bought it. Now a few months later won’t connect via WiFi anymore. Also every few prints you have to turn it off and back on to get it to print. Have contacted cannon customer service and they were unable to resolve the issues either. Was expensive to not work correctly for long.

Bought this for my wife who needed wireless printing capability. Didn’t work through our tradition wireless but the folks at Canon gave us a wireless solution that worked will.

Good looking prints and pictures, but the ADF jams often.

I definitely recommend this for anyone that wants a little more then just a copier

Color is great and easy setup. Ink last a long time.

Nothing is wrong with it just takes a little time to get it set up.

The printer it’s good so far but the picture quality it’s not so good

We replaced another Canon printer with this one. There was nothing wrong with it, but the ink cartridges were getting too expensive. Set up (MAC) was easy. So far, printer is functioning perfectly, and the ink lasts a long time
