*Unexpected pleasant surprise is that the lcd display is mostly black background with light color text which is far easier for me to read than the usual gray/white backgrounds with gray/black text. This color scheme allowed me to set it up without aid from my kid (I have a vision impairment and he does not). Some of the setup picture/animations were the gray/white background, but all of the text I've had to read was very easy with the black background. Touch screen is also nice - I have to jab it a little hard with my thumb sometimes, but the presence of a touchscreen anything on a 65 dollar all-in-one that works is a nice little bonus.
Second, I did research and dodged a couple of bullets from HP and Epson that Canon manufacturers didn't jerk us around with as near as I can tell. In 2016 HP introduced firmware to sabotage generic print cartridges and force people back to theirs. Generics are working out ways to get around HP's sabotage effort, but I imagine HP will keep sabotaging whatever new thing the Generics come up with. (A law firm is organizing a law suit against HP now, citing anti-trust and consumer protection laws. That whole story 86'd my trust in HP as a brand though, so I'm steering clear now.) I also read some bad things about Epson printers not letting you print if the printer thinks the ink is too low, even if your cartridge is half full or you just need to squeeze out one more page. (Thank god for Amazon reviewers. Even if 90% are awesome, it's worth reading a few 1-star reviews to be sure the 5-star people are idiots caught up in the hype of something. Though 1-star reviewers who complain about the mailman instead of the product are tedious too. :)) So I was down to Canon and Xerox. I scrutinized this guy a bit and saw the only bad reviews seem to be people whose needs were more serious than what this device was intended for, or the mailman kicked it up the stairs to their door. Everyone else seemed happy, and I googled and couldn't find evidence of Canon being @#%s like HP and Epson, so I went for it.
The device arrived tonight and was pretty easy to setup as long as you were careful to follow instructions. I followed another reviewer's advice and used the disc that came with it for the final part of the setup, instead of going to the web page, and it worked like a charm. I've done the test print, and scanned a few important documents to my computer's desktop and the pdfs looked fine to me. I uploaded the documents to my employer's dependent verification website and satisfied them now I hope. My son got a certificate from his class and I'm going to scan that in now too for fun. I should print something and review that, but I trust Canon on print quality from experience with two of their digital cameras and a photo printer I had. And I saw nobody else complaining about them as they did with HP and Epson. I'll come back and flame Canon if anything screwy turns up, but so far so good. Forget HP or Epson, go Canon (or possibly Xerox if someone else wants to vouch for them. I stopped at my 65 dollar machine and research fatigue. :))
Original Review:
The printing quality is good, and the printer is not broken, it does its job, so I've given it 3 stars. Where it loses the other two stars: 90% of the time I go to print something it first tells me there is no paper (when there is). The paper is placed in the tray such that there is no where to adjust its positioning or move it to make the printer sense it. So every time I just hit the "OK" button on the printer and suddenly the printer changes its mind it sees that there is paper after all and then begins printing. It also stops part way through printing jobs to tell me it used the last sheet of paper (when in fact there is still paper in the tray), and I have to follow the same process of hitting "OK" and then the printer becomes convinced again that there is still paper. This gets really tedious when you're trying to print a long document; you have to stand over the printer during the whole job and constantly hit OK to its belief that there is no paper, waiting for it to reprocess every time that happens. The sensor for reading whether or not there is paper in the tray is just simply broken. My only other grief is that it loads commands and prints quite slowly.
I love it so much! I use the direct connection because connecting the printer to our schools network is a hassle, and the direct connection was very easy to set up. The printer also works with the Canon Print app on my phone. It prints quickly and rarely has any issues. It mainly gets used for printing articles I have to read and papers for my classes and other mainly black documents, but I am a graphic design student and it works well for printing my graphics as well. I have not tried printing photos yet, but given how the graphics turn out I would assume they would be fine as well. It scans and copies great too. It is almost the end of the semester and I am only just now having to replace the ink cartridges.
I would definitely recommend this printer for use by a college student or in a home office!
