Yes, like many of you, I have tolerated ink jet printers ever since the dawn of the computer era began … well, before that it was the impact printer which would print carbon copies. But, I'm dating myself. Ink jet printers were okay … did the job … but if I wanted a real quality print I would have to save my work on a thumb drive and truck on down to the library to use their laser printers at 50 cents per page. Not very convenient. THEN … Corona Virus shut down our libraries, so I'm completely stuck, unable to complete my project. So, I finally bit the bullet and bought this marvelous printer, after having done hours of research, reading reviews, ad nauseum.
Sure, there are a number of negative reviews for this printer. And for all printers to be honest. But trust me when I tell you this: If "I" can set this printer up on a wireless network, ANY idiot can do it !!
On Page 7 of the "Getting Started" booklet that comes with the printer, there is a very helpful hint. In a box it says: "To view a video guide on the process" … and guides me to a website with a step-by-step, easy-to-follow video that literally walks me through the process. No tearing out my hair. No crying. No cussing. No calling my tech-wizard son for help !! I did hold my breath a few times there, just not trusting myself to have done it right but Holy Moly … there she goes !! First print … PERFECT !! And FAST !! Then I tried double-sided printing … Oh My Goodness … it prints both sides of the page IN BEAUTIFUL COLOR … in like 2 seconds.
I have ordered a high-speed USB cable just because I'm still a little bit paranoid about sending my data up to Never-Never-Land in the Cloud, especially if it is a sensitive document, but meanwhile wireless printing is flawless.
The only con is getting this mother out of the box. Holy Smokes … Unless you're a weight lifter, plan on having an extra set of hands. Between the weight of it, the bulk, and the massive quantities of Styrofoam to protect it, I could not do it alone.
Once out of the box, I had it up and printing in under 2 hours. But, I took my time and watched the set-up video repeatedly before I began. YOU could probably do it in 30 minutes.
Do yourself a favor. Order this printer. It's my Mother's Day gift to myself.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ME !!
=======================
ONE WEEK LATER … My review above evidently was premature … It quit printing for no apparent reason. I tried everything in and out of the book. Finally as a last resort, I called Canon Tech Support. The man was helpful, patient, knowledgeable and very kindly walked me through some setup steps I had missed. Now she works like a charm. FAST, dependable and absolutely flawless beautiful prints.
