5.0 out of 5 stars Whoohoo - unlike HP - this printer WORKS!

2026-02-13    -Online in NV

This is the 3rd printer in the past 2 weeks I've purchased. The first two were HP. The first HP had a broken scanner. The replacement HP seemed like a nice printer, but the HP Smart app was beyond frustrating. I had used HP printers for years, then recently tried Epson because I liked the ink-tank idea.In comparison to HP & Epson - this Canon meets my needs MUCH BETTER. I will never buy another HP - the invasive HP Smart app with all of it's requirements to be signed into your 'account', and be connected to the internet is bad enough. But the app simply doesn't work, all it does is spin and spin and spin......trying to scan a couple of sheets of paper with HP can take an hour. Epson print heads clog, so if you want to print, you may have to clean the heads twice, and then print the document a couple of times before it's acceptable quality, a waste of paper and time.This Canon printer is so REFRESHING! It quietly and without fuss does exactly what it's supposed to do! Setup was a total breeze, in a few minutes I had the printer drivers and the utility app installed on 2 laptops and a smartphone. The utility app is simple to use, and has the functionality I needed. The print quality looks good. I've not tried the photo printing options yet, but that is a low priority with me. Overall I am thrilled with this new printer!

1.0 out of 5 stars Works Fine When It Is Recognized - AND READ DISCLAIMER

2025-12-27    -CK

It works fine when it is recognized, but that in there lies the problem. Nearly every time I want to use it with my computer, it says it is offline. I can print from my phone just fine because it is obviously not offline, and I can use the scan function just fine, but printing, nope. At first I tried restarting my computer, which worked but is obnoxious when you are in the midst of work and have a bunch of things open, but then I realized that I can go to the printer settings, and print a test page. That kicks off the original item to be printed and also prints a test page. This is both a waste of time and money (ink and paper).The first time I printed an image, it was muted to all heck. I was like no way this is the way. So I Googled the issue. Now I can't remember how I fixed it, and I am sure I will have to Google it again the next time I want to print an image and actually see the colors.When it does print without issue, the quality is good. It is loud, which I didn't think would bug me because I don't print that often, but it is kind of annoying. Nothing I can't manage though. The scan function takes awhile, but so did my old printer, and this one has a document feeder that my old one did not, and that has been WONDERFUL. The paper tray doesn't pop out automatically, a feature my old printer had, and I miss that because where I have the printer, I don't like to keep the tray out because I fear it will get broken by my wonderful daughter who pays no attention to her surroundings.The software doesn't have Canon in the name, which makes it hard to find if you don't remember that it is IJ blah blah blah. It also looks like it is straight out of the 90s, and just has mediocre functionality. You do need an app to print from your phone. There is a Canon app, but I think the Mopria Print app is the one you want (Android).Basically do not get this printer if you don't have some level of technical acumen or if you don't have admin rights to your computer, and be prepared for having to do some research when things don't go as expected.DISCLAIMER: If you are buying this to use with a work computer to which you do not have administrative rights to create new users, DO NOT get it. This printer requires not just an admin user to install the software but a LOCAL admin user. So calling IT won't get the job done unless they believe you that it needs a local admin user and are willing to create one.

Cuidada
