2.0 out of 5 stars
Don't even think about networking it, January 16, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Canon ImageCLASS D680 - Multifunction ( copier / fax / printer ) - B/W - laser - copying (up to): 13 ppm - printing (up to): 13 ppm - 600 sheets - 33.6 Kbps - parallel, Hi-Speed USB (Electronics)
The positive: I wanted an "industrial strength" printer/copier/fax for my home which has a PC network and some heavy users. As a STANDALONE, or attached to ONE PC, this is every bit the product advertised.
HOWEVER, the Canon IC D680 is not compatible with the print servers that come built into home networking hardware. You have to buy another $170 proprietary print server from Axis. I did, and regret it. The Canon/Axis combo is HIGHLY UNSTABLE on my network, especially when interfacing with Windows XP PCs. It usually works for a few documents and then fails. Failure requires a server reset, and often a complete DRIVER REINSTALL on the offending PC (2 CDs and 2 reboots!). It's a nightmare, and Canon tech support (which isn't available nights or weekends) has no idea what's wrong. I've been back and forth with them half a dozen times, including several multi-hour calls, and 2 months into ownership can't get it working.
Don't go here, it's miserable.

I have only owned this a very short while but I love it so far, makes business alot easier and is a very quiet running machine.
If you are running a small business, you cannot go wrong with this.
