Whilst the print quality seems good, constant failure of the paper feed ruin this printer. It worked on and off for the last year or so (we aren't massive users though) with constant paper feed errors it finally just stopped feeding the paper at all with every single paper feed leading to a jam even if you loaded just a single sheet of paper. I suspect the constant removal of paper jams wasnt good for an already fragile paper feed system. In addition the scanner rarely worked but concede im using a MAC so maybe thats a compatability issue i cant wholly blame Canon. This printer has proven to be a complete waste of money.

this is the most laborious printer that myself and several others who have tried to help me agree.

It has been a nightmare from the start.
Cant even just plug in printer cable to laptop and do it that way as not complying.

I've had this printer for three months and tonight it's stopped working
Jams for no reason and QR code tells me to take it fur a service
I don't have the receipt and can't be bothered fighting with Big W
DO NOT BUY THIS RUBBISH MACHINE

After 3 weeks of light use both ink cartridges ran out, I replaced both cartridges following CANON instructions and now the printer won't print despite realigning etc.

Waste of time and money.

Says no paper in rear tray follow instructions to fix, still keeps saying this. Only used it twice. Sounds simple to fix if it actually worked. One of those occasions where it's better to just spend the extra money to save the headache.

After 5 months of light use, this printer refused to turn on any more. In that time it also chewed through a large amount of ink.
The controls were difficult to use and some things could only be done through the on printer controls, not via the desktop controls.
Placing the power cord plug on a diagonal at the back of the printer made it difficult to plug firmly and any movement made it fall out.
The bottom tray feeder never worked.

I no longer need a large printer so after quite a search I ordered this one.
Setting up is complex. The instructions are in tiny pale grey print and I had to use a magnifier to read them. When I downloaded the disk image for MacOS and installed it I found a file list. The actual setup icon was hidden at the top of the window. OK until I made an error of one digit in the password of the router. Had to eject image and start Download again rather than go back and correct.

Still, I got there and was rewarded with a nice duplex printout of an email for my 89th birthday.
Canon needs a group of oldies to test its instructions.

I bought this 3 weeks ago, hardly took 15 prints and the color cartridge is showing empty.
The photo print quality is bad. Installation was easy because of the videos. Thanks

Turns off. Won't print unless I lift the cover first. Very time consuming to get anything to work, and when it does its prone to stops, starts, errors, paper jams. OOH, and then I have to lift the cover again to get any printed pages. Just awful. Needed a printer for work and study, but its causing so much extra stress I just want to throw it away.

After the first couple of months of working fine, the printer now hardly prints at all. Constant cleaning, nozzle realignment, etc - a complete waste of ink and paper. I'm furious at the time I've spent trying to get this thing to work.
Plus the wireless connection keeps needing to be reinstalled. The only reliable way to connect to my PC is by cable.

If you want a complicated, pain in the a.. printer scanner then go for it. Unfortunately I bought mine about 6 weeks ago. Would happily burn it. Just to do a simple (HA!HA!) scan of either an image or a photo is a complete pain and i am just about ready to throw it in the bin. Not worth the bull. I googled it and found many others have similar problems.

Print quality is good.Very annoying as it switches itself off and has to be restarted when you print.Comes up with printer error that finally resets after pushing and poking everything.

Prints great, fantastic quality printing, easy to use, easy to set up on computer. Has a lcd screen on it which is useful. Happy with purchase and will continue buying Canon for printing needs

The Print quality is good, but that's only when it works and doesn't complain of a non-existent paper jams, 9/10 times the printer fails and complains of a jam. Avoid this rubbish at all costs, the print economy is poor, you would need both Color and Blank Ink Cartridges after ~100 pages.

Bought this printer because I have never had a Canon one and this brand is usually quote good. But not this printer. The printing quality is pretty good, at least of documents, but it is so sloooooooow, it becomes ridiculous how long it hums, buzzes, moves parts, etc, before it actually starts printing. And if there are several documents to printer, make sure you got enough coffee. It is also very noisy and I wasn't using it after kids had gone to bed. There is a "quiet" mode but not by much.

This is a home printer that was easy to setup and Bluetooth connect to my laptop. Print quality is good enough for me. I like the paper cassette as it is out of the way underneath so can be left there, not hanging out collecting dust. The LED screen is easy to see/read. Of course the ink provided is minimal so just purchasing now the XL cartridges, almost the cost of the printer. Build quality feels a bit light but nothings broken yet.

A competent printer and scanner for home use.

It provides good quality colour and black and white printing with double sided defaults. A nice touch. Minor quibbles, print quality is set to draft so you need to change it each time you want to get a good quality print. Also the paper holder has a cover and sits under the return tray meaning it is not quick and easy to reload paper. But if you print infrequently this is not a huge issue.

On the upside wireless connectivity to iPads and computers is excellent.
