Canon Color imageCLASS LBP632Cdw - Wireless Duplex Laser Printer, Single Function, Home Office, Mobile Ready, 22 PPM Color, White

I’ve been using a Canon monochrome printer on one of my computers for years; with zero issues. So I thought this printer would be a good choice to replace my old HP inkjet. Setting this up was extremely easy for the most part. The worst part was entering my wifi password. The experience was similar to texting on a 1990’s flip phone. Other than that, everything went smoothly. Print quality is good. The noise level is not excessively high. It is a fairly heavy unit, so a well built stand should be used. The documentation that comes with it is not very detailed, so expect to go online for some of the setup info.

Printing with Ubuntu (Linux), installed nothing, just took it out of the box, took the tape off, entered my Internet KEY, put in some paper, and ready to go. Printing in color, printing both sides of the paper, printing from my Android phone without adding any software. Quality is awesome in BW or color. Finally a printer that doesn't waste all your time trying to make it work. Very impressive. Toner cartridges can print 3000 pages, which for me will be a couple years. I love this machine!. To get from wait state to 1st page is about 15 secs, then cranks out pages 22/min. I can't believe what this cost!! $300. I've only had it 2 days, but I anticipate no probs.

This was a replacement for a ten year old Canon printer, which finally showed its age. It was was very quiet. This unit prints just as well, but makes a LOT of noise while printing. I can't imagine why. Also, the cartridges are a completely new size, so the old ones don't fit. And then I spent hours trying to activate the wifi, which required entering my password. My password has a few numeric digits in it, but the printer does not accept numbers. I called Canon customer service, but the tech had to put me on hold while he researched the matter. Finally, he came back and told me how to enters digits which required using a hidden, unlabeled and undocumented set of keystrokes. The printer did not come with a user's manual - but it might not have mentioned it anyway.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had a 7 year old brother laser printer that had duplex...I got it used and it never printed photos well. This Canon prints way faster, duplexes, and is photo-quality...great printer, low price, reasonable 3rd party toner price. I would definitely buy again.

You would think that in 2024 getting a network-attached printer to print from a modern OS like Windows 11 would be trivial right? Unfortunately that's not the case.First problem: This printer refuses to work with my wireless network. I have a Wifi 6 mesh system in my house and this printer sits less than 4 feet away from the main unit. It can detect the wifi network with no issues, but rejects my password EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've even tried changing the network password to 1234 to make mistyping it literally *impossible* but each time the printer will tell me that the wifi password is not correct (spoiler alert: it is not). This is the ONLY network device I have bought in the past 10+ years that I've had trouble getting to connect to wifi, and it's supposed to be easier than ever these days.Okay fine- I'll connect it wired- like I said, the device is 5 feet away from the router so I'll just plug it in. Network detected, great! Now I'll just set up an IP reservation for this device so it always has the same local IP address.. nope, my router doesn't see it. Like it literally _does not show up_ in the list of clients, even though the printer says it's connected.So even though it's 2024 and I've bought a _wireless_ printer, I'm stuck with a ridiculously long USB cord and using windows printer sharing so everybody on my network can print. Absolute disappointment.

Regarding noise I don't think the Canon printer is that loud. I just finished a Christmas letter, two pages front and back (three pages of pictures), 27 copies in our small home office and it did not run me out of the room. It was very quick, and the pictures were good (photo included in the review was taken on an overcast day). The Canon was relatively simple to setup. Our PC located the wireless printer without issue, but our laptop had issues running the CD with the software for the printer. Our laptop has no internal CD drive, so I use an external drive which had been seamless until now. Not a major issue as the web address to download the software is printed in the installation manual. very pleased with the printer!!

The printer is fine. Canon isn't known for ease of use in their printers. The print experience is fine. For a no nonsense business printer if you just print occassionally it's fine once you get it all set up.HOWEVER, you won't be able to print if you're trying to be quiet. This thing is LOUD when it's running. A lot of clunky mechanical noises. Also the LCD is super low quality - it's like an 80s calculator. It also took me like 5 tries to get it to connect to my home network. It's also large and kinda heavy - well larger than other units in it's category... It won't be easy to hide or tuck under a desk.So for the price - I think it's just fine. But I wouldn't be shouting from the mountain tops about it. It's "good enough for government" as they say. It's a solid 3.5 stars..

Other customers complain about setup and I have to agree it isn't the easiest setup. But I have other canon printers and this one sets up in a similar way so I was already prepared for it. Once you get past the setup this thing is really great. Printing is quick and easy. The quality is great. It communicates well with multiple devices making it easy to print directly from the phone or computer. For a color laser printer this is a great option.
