    Very good all purpose printer

    The Canon TR85200 is a really good all-purpose printer that does pretty much everything, including photos. I set mine up on the wireless network and it was quite easy to do. I replaced a Canon printer that lasted many years before it finally gave up, and I expect that this new printer will keep going just as long. Two things that you should know - First, the control panel has to be tipped out and up for the machine to print. When it is closed it blocks the paper exit and you will get a warning. Second, there is an arm, of sorts, with a flip-out holder (instead of a tray) that you need to pull out when you print. This catches the paper nicely with no problems. But, if you forget to pull the arm out the printer shoots the print job out rather enthusiastically. It is interesting to see the paper fly across the room, but mostly it disturbs the cat. Pull the arm out and flip up the flipper-thing and everyone is super happy. I really like this printer.

    I purchased this for printed documents and photos and scanning. Printing documents is fine. Printing photos is great. The scanner is the reason that I bought this over the comparable HP. Resolution is superior to the HP model. Also wireless connection is very simple, sets up on all your PC's.

    Canon tr8520 is working well, hooked up easily and is not too hard to figure out. Wireless set upis good and the copy feature works well, photos come out good. Impressed with the value. I don't like the small cover for the paper tray, its a light piece of plastic that coveranout 1/8 of a sheet of paper in the front of the printer, we feel like we should just throw it out, the printer without it.

    I have only one complaint about this item: it uses too much ink. Print quality is great. Easy to use. I just wouldn’t recommend printing a 50-100 page document or making 50-100 copies at one time.

    This printer has been a godsend! I use it daily and it has been very reliable. I love that it is no fuss and has Bluetooth capabilities. I literally print from my iPhone whenever I am too lazy to pull out my laptop!!

    This device couldn't even process the canon grade glossy 4x6 pictures included. Been over thirty minutes and the two images I printed are smudged and still completely wet with ink. Dreadful quality.

    Good Home Printer

    I've only had this for about a month and haven't done a lot of printing yet. This replaces a Canon MX922. The TR8520 prints documents well and quickly. Photo prints are good quality for a home inkjet printer. If you're expecting good quality lab printing, then it's best to send the pictures to a quality lab. Having said that, the prints are good enough quality for sharing with friends, etc. Build quality seems a little flimsy. It's not falling apart, but it's not as solidly built as the MX922. I would like the paper tray to have a larger capacity. The second paper tray is not really a tray. The paper stands up in the back and is exposed to the air. I use that for photo paper. I wish it was an enclosed paper tray. It also prevents the printer from being up next to the wall. With the prior printer, I didn't have to access the back of the printer and it could go against the wall. (the desk it sits on is next to a wall). The scanner appears to work well. I have not explored various paper sizes. So far, I have only printed on 8 1/2" x 11" standard paper and 4" x 6" photo. I haven't read what other paper sizes will work. Over all, it appears to be a good printer and I would recommend it. I purchased it on sale at Best Buy for just under $100. At that price point, it is an excellent printer.

    I’m a huge fan of Cannon and I absolutely love this printer. I’m a teacher so I’m constantly printing and copying things for work; I’m so thankful that this thing is so easy to use! I have a photo project in mind and I can’t wait to start using it for that.

    Good compact printer, easy set up, good quality. A little too pricey. Fed up with poor quality HP printers going back to Canon after many years . Will see how it does.

    I have been using this product for the past 30 days. It was easy to set up with my Windows 10 desktop computer. The wireless printing was also easy to set up with an iPad Pro and an android cell phone. The printing quality is very good for this price point with better that average color accuracy. I have been using the scanner quite intensively scanning hundreds, soon to be in the thousands, of family photographs. The scanner has worked flawlessly and I am very pleased the the quality of the scans. I have not used the fax function so I cannot comment on its performance. Making copies is as simple a pushing a button. I am still using the printer cartridges that came with the product and have printed no more than two hundred pages. I don't really know what the cost of ownership will be due to ink use, but time will tell. One of the best features of this printer is the large color back lit display that is easy to read even at extreme angles. The one quirky thing about this devise is that the front panel needs to be swung open when printing, which is just odd to me. Overall this has been a excellent purchase for a home use All-In-One printed.

    I really like my new Canon TR8520 all-in-one printer. It is very compact compared to the Canon MP600-series printer I had for 12 years. The new one prints, makes copies and photos very quickly, even in color. I don't use it for faxing so I can't comment on that. I am still learning how to scan photos into my PC without having to use (and pay for) Adobe PDF. That's the only drawback I have encountered so far. Other than that, I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone needing a new printer.

    I was working on my second MX920 Canon printer and was beginning to get error messages requiring resetting or removing and replacing the print head. I'd had my eye on this printer as a possible replacement and after a months usage I'm not disappointed. Setup was easy. I used the website, rather than the included CD. Setup instructions included directions to the website. The only setup glitch: it did not connect to my network. I followed plan two, connecting through the printer itself. Worked perfectly. Was up and running in no time. It is smaller that the MX920 and I like that. It doesn't feel as sturdy, more plastic. It prints faster and quieter than the 920. Photos print from the rear and I had no problem with that. FAX setup was pretty painless. I do not like that the front panel needs to be open to print. However if you keep it open and the printer is turned off it will wake up and print if you want to print and forget to turn it on. Don't forget to pull the paper holder out or printed work will drop to the floor. The price is right, it includes FAX capabilities and set up went smoothly. It's a good replacement.
