I used to by HP printers but they are junk, this Cannon MX700 is a great printer and its wireless when pluged into your router.I also have a Cannon 850 at my office that gets quite a workout and has never let me down. I'm sold on Cannon.
This is now my favorite printer. So far I have printed a couple of e-books (which goes against the whole idea of an e-book) and I still have plenty of ink left. The scanning works great, even for double sided.
The cartridges are opaque so you can see how much ink is left. It's fairly quiet. Setup was easy and it comes with full size, fully loaded ink cartridges.
It won't scan both sides at it once but will insert the reverse side in proper order. I was also pleased to learn this printer could be networked. Having used it several times I am very happy with how it functions.
Couldn't beat the price of the printer or the ink. Highly recommend this printer to everyone.
great printer for the price (honestly, it felt like i was getting it for free). the only complaint i have is that there is no covered paper tray in which i can leave a stack of paper. you have to leave the output tray fully open in order to leave a stack (which i dont like to do since it is easy to bump into and break off). but features and print quality are on par with all others in this category
Good luck figuring it out. It makes me long for the old thermal fax I had a decade or two ago, one with nice big buttons to start the fax, receive a fax, whatever. But today, again, I nearly kicked in its front panel from frustration, so I figured a) time to get something I like more, and b) time to let people know what to beware of.1) Paper handling -- AUGH. I like the network connectivity, it's my first machine where I can reliably print and scan from any computer on the network.
Surprised that I'm complaining about this, but it's really never delivered stunning photo prints -- I actually miss my HP for this one. Endless frustration. It's been a love/hate relationship. The front tray jams one sheet out of three, so I try to use the rear -- except it keeps setting itself back to the front tray. This one, the phone rings and rings and it won't pick up, or it picks up and drops, and I go into the menu and try setting number of rings, telephone priority preference, yada yada, and I still can't get the #$%.#@ thing to pick up.
So at the least it's over-complicated, and at worst it plain doesn't work.4) Print quality. It's got two feeds, front tray and rear tray. You can try to set the feed switch on the front panel, you can try to set the printer preferences on your computer, and still what do you know, it's choking on paper out of the front tray. Nope.
I've had this thing for a year. I've tried sending recently as well with no luck. I've given up on faxing and am now scanning and sending PDFs. And the amount of time I've spent with no blue showing up even with a fresh blue cartridge in there, etc. At least, until now. No way. And it's an okay scanner.
I hope there are a lot of choices out there for network connectivity now, as I'm going shopping. It's enough to make me see stars.2) I've never had a printer that prints out documents at a slant. I throw away a huge number of prints because it just comes out at a 5 or 10 degree angle from vertical, and it looks ridiculous.3) The fax is difficult to entice to work. Most of my printing is black and white, so I guess I'm okay, but when I have to do color, it's gonna be all yellow, or all magenta.So knowing what I know now, would I have bought it. Who knows, the new Canons may be a different animal, but this beast has lost my favor and I can't wait to see it go.
Read the instructions carefully before starting the setup. I had no problems getting the Canon PIXMA MX700 Office All-On-One Inkjet Printer setup. Followed the instructions carefully and was able to set it up in short order. More instructions to get it to work from the router. This is one of the reasons that I bought this printer, it will work on the network with out the need of a computer to operate it.Still fairly new but so far it has worked flawlessly.
