BRILLIAND AND EASY TO SET_UP AND USE
This is the second similar machine that I have purchased; my daughter ‘borrowed’ the original to take to university. In the past I have had bad experiences with printers; I have tried a few HP and Epson.The family tends to need to print intermittently; I have found that with other printers they clog-up if left unused. This Canon does not appear to suffer from this problem. Yes, the ink refills are on the expensive side but as we do not use it too often that is a small price to pay to have a printer ready when you need it.I have a devil of a job setting up the wi-fi on the earlier model, but now Canon have really got their act together and setting up is very easy via their on-line tools, I had to configure five PC’s and three tablets and it all worked seamlessly.

Great printer for the price
I was a bit reluctant ordering this printer, because from the other reviews I was worried I wouldn't be able to set it up properly. I'm not especially techie and have a layman's grasp of terminology. However, I was really pleased to be able to get it all up and running first time for my laptop AND phone without any issues at all.There's a step-by-step diagram sheet and I followed that for the hardware set up. It basically involved taking off orange stickers and plastic bits and plugging the printer in. The CD it's supplied with has an easy walkthrough for the software and getting connected to wifi. I used the WPS button on my router and that was that!Connecting to the phone was easy too, I just downloaded a free app and it automatically found the printer.The print quality isn't bad at all for home office use. I printed a photo from my phone and made the mistake of not selecting the right size paper in the printer (A4 copy paper) but second time it worked great. The printer and scanner functions are also straightforward. It's fairly quiet in action too.Overall, I'm really pleased for the price. I'm not sure how long the printer cartridges will last, they're not the cheapest (but compatible ones might be more cost effective) and that's why I've not given it a full 5 stars.

Very much a budget printer
This is basic and very noisy in operation. There is no screen to show what you are doing. The paper tray is 3/4 outside the machine which makes it untidy but it is cheap and the printing of paper documents is OK. I just wish the marketing of printers was different. I can't justify spending any more money on a printer as they only seem to last about a year then a fault code comes up and although the thing is basically OK you are locked out. In the meantime you pay through the nose for ink - it does not make sense to me.

I Like it.
Taking a wee bit of getting used to, after my Pixma MP610 finally gave up the ghost after 8 long years of hard labour.The scanning / editing software is very good.Really haven't had much chance to play around with it yet…Quick, fairly quiet when printing, good quality print - on plainer papers I have used so far - not had time to try the glossy photo papers yet but am expecting good results.This one doesn't automatically open the 'done-door' for you - it just flashes the amber light on top, and took me ages to remember to open the wee door after I had put paper in!Also - the 'paper-catcher' has to be unfolded completely, or it lands on the floor!I am used to the sheet feeder at the back, so needing to re-think where I keep this one as the paper loads at the front, where the sheets come out too.I like it.

Works perfectly for me
I bought this to replace my old Pixma MP220 which is still going strong but I wanted something a bit smaller with wifi that also printed both sides automatically. I am not a techie person myself but I followed the instructions and I was surprised how fast and easy it was to set up after having read the previous reviews. I have printed wirelessly from my laptop, from an iPad and a Mac with no problems at all. I love this printer as I am no longer put off printing out forms, articles etc as connecting all the cables was such a hassle before and I hated having to manually turn over the pages to print on both sides. It does just the trick for a student / freelancer like myself that needs to print a lot and I haven't had any problems with it to date.

Easy to set up but not without problems
The printer looks great, is a good size and (when I can get it to print!) print quality is good - nothing amazing, but what you would expect for this price.The set up was straight forward (once I realised that I had to download a separate driver in addition to the basic set up) but I've still not managed to fix the issues I'm having with printing different file types. No matter what I do the printer will only print word documents. When I try to print PDFS or any other file types, the job goes through and it sounds as though it's printing, but all that comes out is a blank page. Have looked online and emailed support with this issue but had no luck - just been told to clean the printer head and check the nozzle pattern print, which are both fine. Printing word documents = great. Scanning = great.I'm convinced there is a very easy, probably very obvious fix to this problem but for the life of me can't work out what it is.If I could fix this, the printer would get four stars.
