Customer Reviews
It installed very easily and went wireless quickly once it went through set-up using the USB cable (provided). To keep it wireless, you can remove the USB cable since it is only temporary for set-up. Printing pictures was very easy and they are beautiful - rich colors, very crisp images.
Scanning is easy too and offers images to be jpegs, PDFs or OCR (taking a typed document and changing it to editable text).
The only issue I had is that in searching for replacement cartridges - there are two, black and color, they are not only a little difficult to find but expensive at that. Canon direct only had the XL versions available for $49.99 (double pack - one of each). Currently, Staples, Office Max, and Costco do not carry the cartridges. Amazon carries them from a reseller (plus shipping). The regular cartridges run between $21 and $26 each and the XXL versions are even more. I'm not sure how much more the XXL versions last in comparison so documentation on that would be great.
*****UPDATE - February 1, 2012 - Amazon is currently stocking the replacement ink but although it is a little easier to order, the price for one color and one black cartridge in a double pack is still $50. *****
I know that this is nothing new to the printer industry. My previous HP Photosmart would run out of ink after a few photos (it seemed) and they were not cheap either (and there were 5 cartridges in that one compared to the two in the Canon PIXMA).
So, overall, I love the machine. I love the quality, features, and ease of use but the cartridge price and availability is a drawback.
Now for what it doesn't do. First, both the description and the label on the printer itself says "Plus, you can print and scan jpeg and pdf files wirelessly from compatible iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Android devices while enjoying a new way to load your genuine Canon ink and paper." Unfortunately, a quick check of the Apple AirPrint site will tell you that while many Cannon printers are AirPrint compatible, this one IS NOT. So, if you want to "...print and scan ... wirelessly from compatible iPad, iPhone, iPod touch..." you will need to spend $10 to purchase a program called FingerPrint. Then you will need to leave a computer running all the time with FingerPrint on it in order to print to this printer from your iPhone (I'm running an iPhone 4S, so they cannot claim that it would work with a newer device). Well, if you are running FingerPrint, you can print to ANY printer using your iPhone, so this is a blatant misrepresentation. Note, however, that if you just want to print photos, there is an app in the app store to do that. For documents, you'll need FingerPrint.
Next comes photo printing. The package includes a batch of 4x6 photo paper, and good luck using it, unless you just want to print someone's cheek. Using a combination of Picasa and Microsoft Image, I was unable to print a single photo properly. No matter how I set up the print job, the printer pulls the photo paper halfway through the roller before starting to print.... Read more ›
When I first got this to review, I was thinking, "Oh, golly, another printer???" I have three already (that I have deemed worthy enough to keep) and I didn't need another one. I figured this meant I could give a pretty darned honest review. If anything, I'm really hard to please.
First, this thing is big. I know, it has to be, to have the scanner and all, but it is tall and relatively cumbersome to move.
It was difficult to remove from the box. I had to flip it upside down and carefully lift the box off of the printer. Don't let it tip over.
Once out, there is a TON of tape on this thing. Just when you think you've gotten all of the protective film, tape, and cardboard squares off, there is another one hiding. This is a good thing, because it has that very shiny, reflective finish, and you don't want to have scratches upon arrival. (A drawback to the glossy finish are the innumerable fingerprints and smudges that are apt to happen--you can see them in the photos and I was trying to keep it nice and pretty for you.)
Insert your CD with the software/drivers into your laptop...let it autorun.
As directed, plug it in and go...put the ink cartridges in (easy!) and have printer paper on hand for that test print.
I have set up so many printers, and yes, you can do it wirelessly--but it's ALWAYS easier to do with the USB cable. Without exception. So, I tried the wireless connection first (just for you all, folks!... Read more ›
