In response to the whiners that gave low marks, it really isn’t that hard to set up. Yess the little LCD 2” screen is hard to read and they should have lighted it, but for the 15 minutes it takes to set up, I just pointed a light on it and problem solved. The set up didn’t seem like it was designed by someone who wanted a good user experience. Yo set the time zone you have to down button through about a hundred places before you see central US. Setting the clock and date were stupid unnecessary steps if it is going to be connected to the internet. The thing that took the most time was enter the router password, only because it wasn’t immediately clear how you “accept” it after entering the final digit. That should have been mentioned in the user guide (which was pretty crappy, wasted most of the paper space on safety warnings and how to dispose of the unit, and only a paragraph on the set up menu, where most of the confusion lies). Once the wifi password was entered, it just worked, perfectly. On my iPhone I opened a file, hit print, it saw the printer and printed. On the MacBook, I hit printed, I just had to select this printer instead of the one I was replacing, selected the number of copies, and it printed. Zero problems and issues. Easiest and fastest printer I ever set up. Lightweight so it sat on a small shelf by the bed. Energy star so it doesn’t have much of a phantom load when not used. On/off switch on the front so you don’t have to go searching on the side or back to turn it off. Print quality is acceptable. I didn’t notice any more noise than other printers, maybe even a bit less, but my hearing is shot so it hardly matters. So, there is room for improvement, like a better manual, lit LCD screen, paper tray that can close with paper to keep out the dust, and automatic time and date recognition, but I really don’t understand all the complaining about set up. It took fifteen minutes and if they had improved the user interface it could have been done in 5, but it really wasn’t a big deal. I got it on sale and it was a bargain, especially compared to the much crappier laser printer I bought in 1997 for $1400.

I like it. It does what it's supposed to, quickly. It does warp the paper a bit but I assume that's because of the heat setting the powder. It was very easy to set up and get started with, and my computer is intelligent enough that I needed need to mess around a lot with connecting it or whether it'd be compatible. It was. On a fun and slightly related note, my dog absolutely hates it and tries to attack it when it makes any kind of sound, so I don't use it as often as I'd like to in fear of upsetting him. I've kicked him out of my bedroom to use it and he attacks and barks relentlessly at the door. I've tried exposure therapy with him and it only works if I am restraining him and able to stuff treats in his mouth which isn't a sustainable practice. Verdict? Product is absolutely fine and takes decent quality scans and prints wicked fast black and white. Does what I need it to do. My weird dog just thinks it's a demon that needs to be eradicated.

Read the negative reviews - they're 100% true. Size The picture and dimensions look like this is a nice, compact footprint. It doesn't reveal that it has a paper drawer that remains open as long as you have paper in it. So, the footprint is actually the size of the paper you have in the drawer. And because the drawer is now always open, you're suseptible to dust. So I load the paper every time I want to print and keep the printer closed. LCD Screen The screen is on the front instead of the top. I laid the device on it's back with the edge off the end of the table for the power cord so I could look down onto the printer in order to read the LCD screen. I also opened the curtains and turned my lights on. Once setup, I laid it flat again. Still, you have to interact with this screen every time you print and for every firemware upgrade. Connection Yes, the instructions suck and mine was actually missing the CD (empty case). I found the best luck was to connect the printer directly to my wi-fi and then locate the printer on my PC on the same network. My PC is directly hard-wired to my router, so not sure if that's why my PC found the printer so easily. I didn't want to connect the printer to my PC via USB since they're more than 6 feet apart. I don't use Apple products nor do I print from my Android. Printing Every single time you print something, the LCD prompts you to select a print drawer. There is only one print drawer. But, you have to scroll down and press okay on the LCD screen for the one and only print drawer before it will print. If there's a firmware upgrade available, it won't print and your job will remain in the queue until you upgrade. Firmware upgrades This is more often than I'd prefer, about as often as your PC receives updates. I've had the printer two months and have had to update the firmware 3 times. This is done through the hard to see LCD screen by scrolling down to Upgrade, pressing OK, and then scrolling one button press at a time to read through the entire agreement (smh). 50-75 or so clicks later, you will be able to proceed. Print quality I gotta say it prints shockingly fast - like 2 seconds. But that means the quality is going to match. Color docs don't translate well, but they are crisp and lightning fast and dry. Toner seems to be priced well, so replacements shouldn't be less than the old inkjet cartridges. Noise Sure, it's noisy, but I kind of expected that for the price. It sounds cheap. Overall "Buy" if you have lots of patience and just want to print text docs at a lower price point. Otherwise, treat yourself and upgrade. I feel like these printers have been sitting around for decades. They're only giving Canon a bad reputation.

Great printer and easy to use.

I cannot believe what incredible pain i* t** a**Is this printer?It is constantly not able to be identified by any device that is supposed to be connected to enter and the screen is so small that I can not read what is on it even when I have a powerful flashlight trained on it. I'm disappointed. It takes a lot of effort every single time I want to print even one page.

Love this printer. I don't spend half the day looking for wifi it just prints.

Très facile a utiliser.

The description is not true. This printer does not have WIFI.
