Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Canon is an exceptional replacement for my old HP All-In-One. It is easy to set up. The quality of what I have printed so far has been great. What I also appreciate is the smaller footprint than my previous all-in-one.

So it's been about 20yrs since I've owned an inkjet printer. I've been using lasers for a long time and main for just BW prints. I've run and worked on high end large format inkjets at work though, like the Canon SC60000, so I've not been completely away from inkjet tech. Set up was a breeze, but a bit of a pain having to type in you SSID with the little menu nav buttons. Still simple without any issues. I could have opted for setup with my phone, but I'm more of a manual kind of guy so I can control everything I can. Everything was set and I fed it the two sheets it requested for head alignment. I was actually surprised that it didn't need any input from me. It printed, scanned, and adjusted all on its own. I remember having to print out the patterns and pick out the best results until you got to where you needed to be. Even some of the large formats still require manual calibration. This was a nice surprise. My test print was of a photo on standard quality. I most likely won't need anything higher than standard for what I print. Hit print an seconds later it was finished. This was a full sized photo on US Letter sized sheet and it was done so fast I thought I was printing on a economy model laser instead of an inkjet. It surprised me how fast it is.The head just zips quickly across the carriage rod faster than the old slow pokes from the early days of home printing. Wow, I was impressed. Next was a scanning test. This didn't go so well but I'm not sure if it's because Window's built in scan app is poor or if the Canon isn't good at it. Since copy came out pleasant I'd have to point to either Windows or scanning via Wifi just isn't good. Scanning isn't a high priority since I can just make copies, but it's something I'll have to dig in later when I download Photoshop or Affinity Photo and test their scanning capabilities. Knowing what I know about the large format printers, I do turn on the printer every day to let it run maintenance. Cart/Printhead replacement is relatively cheap compared to old days and to what we have to pay if we don't do maintenance on the large formats (some heads are $6000 each with 10 in the carriage). So to save a little headache I just let it run its cycle and auto shut down after a few hours. Honestly, I'm surprised how far home inkjet tech has come and how inexpensive inkjet carts have gotten. Still not as economical as laser, but far more affordable than they were 20 years ago. I definitely going to put some use on the Pixma.

Easy to setup with the app from my iPad, iPhone and MacBook. I turned off the eco setting that puts it to sleep after a few hours because it required me to push a button to wake. Now I can print wirelessly whenever and it’s waiting for me in the office. Also I originally got an HP model but didn’t realize it fed paper from the top so didn’t fit on my printer shelf. This one fits great even with the printed pages. It’s a pretty compact thing as far a printers go.

Great printer for the price point. Ink is readily available

Perfect for the space that I have. Works great! I would recommend.

Did not come with an instruction booklet. Have to use internet instructions. Cannot get it to print. I will have to pay the Geek Squad to come to my home to install.

For the price this printer is feature packed, user friendly, and high quality. This is certainly not the highest end printer in the market, but for the majority of house hold users it will be a pleasent bang for the buck. Pros: - Ease of setup. While I struggled with this step slightly, I fully attribute it to user error. The companion application on mobile devices is slick and user friendly to guide through set up. - Companion Mobile Application. While this feature is relatively common these days, the Canon app is easy to use, responsive, and has all the features one might need. I especially liked the fact that trial photo paper was included in order to test out that printing ability. I feel as though the average household user will be pleasently surprised with the ease of printing pictures directly from their devices storage. Cons: - Build quality. Let's be honest, at this price point consumers should not expect a workforce level build quality from their printer. However, in opening the flaps to change ink, adjust the paper tray, scan a document, etc. It felt pretty flimsy. Things fall apart and disconnect and half the time I'm not sure if it is actually broken or just cheap. The lack of a touch screen here doesn't help as the navigation controls are not exactly fool proof.

I really enjoy Canon printers, and this one is no exception. This printer does everything I need it to, including copying, printing, and scanning. I love that it is wireless, and therefore compatible with many devices, including PCs, laptops, and cell phones. Getting this printer connected to wifi was a little bit of a pain, but it was easier to just use the screen on the printer rather than following the app instructions. This printer has both front and rear paper feeding trays, which allows for tons of different types of printing. I also love that it has the ability to print double-sided documents. It also can be loaded with photo paper and print pictures! The ink is easy to replace by just unclipping the right side of the scanner and lifting it up, which also makes general maintenance easier. It is nice to have everything controlled by a few different apps, but it ends up being quite a few apps with several different login accounts needed to use all features. It also automatically defaults to double-sided printing and color printing with few details on how to switch away from these defaults. All in all, this is a great printer for the price. The app usage needed is a little cumbersome sometimes, but it seems to be more than likely worth the trouble.

I purchased this printer for home use to replace a 15yr old HP PhotoSmart printer. It is very easy to install. It probably took no more than 15 minutes. I can now print wirelessly from my MAC and iPhone. Scanning is easy. The printer produces great quality pictures and text is good quality and I especially like that it can prints two sided documents. I am very happy with my purchase.

Great replacement for our PIXMA 3600. Fast, quiet, smaller form factor. Same excellent print and scanning quality.

I bought this for my sister after being unable to setup her old printer. It was easy to setup and connect to the wifi and works great. I am generally no a big fan of color cartridges that do all three colors in one unit, but she doesn't do a lot of color printing - primarily in black and white. The cartridges are reasonably priced and the printer works well - all at a good price.

did not last 6 months need to buy a new one was told by employee this was she used and was great

not compatible, its annoying to set up its just out dated idk why theyre still selling it

The printer is small and it does not take up much space, so it is perfect for my office. I would definitely recommend this printer for someone who needs to print, copy, or scan documents! It was also easy to set up. It took me about thirty minutes to set up my printer and begin printing items.

Prints good quality photos. Lil confusing to get set up tho when it shud be a very simple thing

Easy setup. Crisp and clean prints. I was able to print a packet of court documents and 2 copies of each page on the original black cartridge before having to change the black cartridge. That’s 40+ pages. Suggest buying the inkjet printer paper for even more crispy prints.

Good all around printer for basic needs, but wouldn't be a very good option if you do a lot of printing. It does all your basics, plus has a scanner built in. The set up can be done from your phone, or your computer by going to the website included with the set up instructions. Pretty simple and usual set up process and it will run a couple of test pages both front and back. The printer display is a little on the small side, so if you are like me you may need to really eye ball it to be able to read it. The printer is also a little on the noisy side while it is active, but that really isn't a big problem and you cant expect a more quiet operation from a basic, lower priced printer. The ink cartridges are always a concern to me with printers. This one uses just a basic 2 cartridge arrangement, black and color. How long they will last will be interesting, since they aren't overly large. The printer does come with both cartridges included, but nothing else other than a power cord, instructions and a sample pack of photo paper. So all in all, this is a really good option for a no frills printer/scanner. I have printed off of it several times and it always gets right to work and no huge delays over wifi. I would recommend this for a general use printer.

Works great and easy to install. I can print from my phone. Prints photos well.
