DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!!
So of course I had reservations about this product after reading all the reviews about how hard it is to set up, isn't truly wireless, can't print from other devices, etc. Soooooo I just got this printer delivered and hooked up last night and found it extremely easy, but I do have to say, the manual that comes with it is not very helpful. My husband and I went directly to the Canon website and there is literally a how-to video on how to set up everything from start to finish. I literally had it set up and working in less than an hour. So complaint # 1 squashed. Complaints # 2 and 3 kind of go hand in hand. So using the how-to video, we set the printer up directly to our in-home Wi-Fi. If you have an internet connection and you can connect to it with your phone, tablet, etc, your Canon printer will connect to it too. You just have to put in your Wi-Fi password directly onto the screen on the printer using the alpha/numeric key pad. Not hard at all. Complaint # 2 squashed. Then we test printed from my computer, which is the main computer in the house, my husband's lap top, (which he did install the printer and driver on his laptop), printed fine. We test printed from our phones and that worked too! And we didn't even have to install or download Apple Air Print or any of the other aps that the reviews mention. Because we set it up wirelessly to our Wi-Fi network and our phones are obviously on the same network, we were able to print without a problem. Complaint # 3 squashed. Now with all that being said, I do think this printer is better suited for at home use than in a busy office environment. I'm used to large heavy duty Kyocera 3 in 1s that are much faster than this machine, especially duplex copying and scanning. But for a compact machine that can do all these functions wirelessly?? It's amazing for at home use or use in a small office. I love the product and am extremely pleased with my purchase! You can't get better for the money!
