Canon Wireless Pixma Inkjet All-in-one Printer with Scanner, Copier, Mobile Printing, Airprint and Google Cloud + Bonus Set of Ink and Printer Cable

So far, I am noticing that the photo printing is not as robust as my previous Pixma 922. If you connect this printer to a network, then your computer will not wake it when it turns itself off. You have to set this preference on the printer propertiesMy old printer had this wonderful software that allowed you to scan - so far haven't been able to find it. Also I cannot register this printer on my Canon account for warranty purposes because I live in US. AND the US canon site does not have the software for this printer. You have to go to the Frence website. I am going to try and to a support ticket...It does print well, the color printing is good.Scanning is a problem. So far, the installation program cannot find the printer on the network, even if I type in the IP address, as a result, the scanning driver is never installed and you get the windows driver instead.In programs like Adobe Acrobat, this missing driver ( I think) prevents me from configuring presents, and adds a whole bunch of steps to scanning.The back paper tray allows for envelope and photo printing. The bottom tray accepts about 100 sheets of paper.My old pixma mx922 was so intuitive, this one not so much.

The printer seems fine. Print quality is excellent both color and b/w. I don't like receiving requests to review AMazon items only days after I have received the product. Its hard for me as a purchaser to take these reviews seriously. I think it defeats the purpose of hearing what a user really experienced after an adequate trial period. Anyway I feel that way about all Amazon products not just this printer. I do have two comments that should help potential buyers. Number 1 - the printer constantly turns itself off if not used for a period. I don't know how long it is . I havent waited for it to turnoff but if I havent used it for an our or two it is off. The big problem with this is that ours is used as a wireless network printer. If one of us is in another room then we print - get error message that the printer is not online - then we walk back to where the printer is in other room and turn power back on- walk back to computer to send file to print again - walk back to printer to pick up printed doc -- you get the idea. If I wanted my printer to turn off power I would turn it off myself. Second issue is not specific to this printer just a point reminder. These days we are all using VPN's more. I just signed up for one a couple days after I got printer . Printer stopped printing and I didn't make the connection at first that I needed to turn VPN off to insure printer could connect to our WIFI. Maybe there is a work around but I don't know. Its easy enough to turn VPN off /on. Overall the printer was very easy setup.

I have used Canon printer products for many years. This one arrived "on Time" with a setup CD "most laptops don't come with CD's anymore, nor does mine. The online setup instructions don't include my printer number, TR7620 or even a TR7600 series setup. so I just had to wing it. I'm sure there are many features that my earlier Conon printer had that I'm not able to access without the right setup.

For regular printing jobs this printer works fine and is easy to use. For photos the quality is good, but you have to use the rear paper feed, you have to "register" your paper type with every single photo. You have to try and line it up in there perfect by eye, there are no guides. The paper does not have a natural resting place that will allow the printer to grab the photo and pull it in, otherwise you get error message about no paper, when you can see that you have paper in there. If you touch the front "operating door and even partially close it, while your ****ing with the paper, you will get an error message that the operating door is open. When you use smaller photo size paper, again no guides, nothing to tell you whether to put the paper in landscape or portrait. So; you have to find out the hard way that it's put in portrait. Afer all the work I put into making sure the paper was right then holding it down so that the printer would recognize that I had paper in it, the printer takes the photo and turns it askew and only "mostly" straitens it back up as it finishes pulling the paper in. The result is weird borders at different corners.While this isn't a high end printer, it is expensive enough, that you would expect some genius with a degree to design in guides that hold the paper in the right place and pull it straight in, so that each and every single photo is not project.

5/12/20: OK, ultimately this thing was installable on catalina, but at end of process at add printer, in "Use" field where selection field says "choose a driver" instruction said select air print. But air print not available in selection. Searching canon website for driver shows "no driver available" and refers you to "your OS" Tried a couple other ways and no joy. The next day just before I called tech support I went through the add process again and this time the air print option was available. Selected it, and was able to print from the mac. Several hours later, the printer fell off the network. I just rebooted it, and after about 5 minutes (pretty long time to connect) it reconnected itself. Later that evening I went to print and noticed it was offline again. This time the whole printer had turned itself off. Fortunately there was an energy saver setting and it turns out the default is to shut down after a couple hours of inactivity. Pretty stupid default for a wireless network printer which by design is supposed to be always available. Whatever. Must say, been doing this a long time and PC or Mac this was *by far* the biggest PITA of installing a printer or scanner, and that includes multiple other canons, epson and HP. Not a big fan of the rear entry straight up load of the photo paper, but printed one print with enclosed sample paper and quality was quite good. If I find the ink consumption is favorable, I'll up the rating beyond the edit from 1 to 2 stars I'm making here now.INSTALL: Wow, what a bear to set up. After a good 45 minutes of jumping through hoops, I get to the end only to find that it's not compatible with Mac Os Catalina, hello, which is state of the art Mac and been out like a year now. Totally lame.
