 Excellent Performance So Far 2010-03-17 |
| By M. Ransom |
I needed to replace my aging HP-85 multifunction printer. My initial thought was to buy another HP and had looked closely at the Officejet 6500; however, the larger number of out-of-box failures that users were reporting put me off. The features and reviews of the MX870 were impressive, so I decided to switch to the Canon. After three weeks with the product, I can say that I continue to be impressed. Setup was straight-forward. I use it both via a USB cable (when my notebook is docked) and wirelessly. I have multiple computers, some running Windows 7 and others Mac Snow Leopard. All my computers print and scan wirelessly to it without a hitch. I was impressed that I was able to install it without the CD, over WiFi, on Windows 7 machines by simply selecting "Add Device" in the control panel -- whatever drivers it needed it found itself over the Internet.
I like the extra rear paper source for feeding heavy material straight through the printer. With the HP-85, heavy material was a recipe for paper jams. The automatic document feeder has worked flawlessly thus far. I'm amazed at how quickly the scanner works even in high precision -- typically only a few seconds per page. The print quality is excellent, and the printer itself is gorgeous. It is silent when not printing and reasonably quiet when printing. I cannot comment on how long the ink lasts (I'll admit that the ink tanks look a little small). I would have liked a bigger paper tray as this one holds only a quarter of a ream. |
| Excellent all-in-one printer 2010-03-17 |
| By Ron in Bellevue WA USA |
| Printer installed very easily on a Windows 7 system and has been trouble free since installation. All functions work as advertised. The performance meets my expectations and would definitely recommend the printer to my friends. |
 Well done! 2010-03-17 |
| By Scott A. Hawk |
| We've had this printer/scanner for about a week and I am pleased to report it is working flawlessly. We have a house full of Mac's and I'm very happy with how easy it was to set up. My only beef is that there are at least 3 pieces of software you need to download from the Canon website if you want full capabilities of the scanner. However, once the software is installed, I was able to use Image Capture to scan over the network ... very very handy. The printer also does a great job with every-day color printer on plain paper and does an excellent job using photo paper. |
| Now, if they could just shrink it a bit... 2010-03-16 |
| By L. Graf (Ipswich, MA) |
Other than the large-ish footprint, what's not to like? Setup with my Win7 computer was a snap. The on-machine control panel is clear and straightforward. The on-screen print menu is easy to navigate. The print quality is excellent. One neat touch: When you send it the print command, the Pixma automatically lowers the front out tray into position -- a nice touch for us absentminded types.
One disgruntlement: The pdf files it makes of printed materials are large even at the most stripped-down settings (below 200 dpi is too dim for many of my clients). This is a problem if one wants to create small files for emailing. What would be a 500KB file from another of my all-in-one machines is two to three times the size from the Canon. Depending on the density of the text, I can make files of 30 to 40 pages on my HP Officejet 6500 to email to clients; with the Canon I can't get much over 10 pages per file before they lurch past my 1MB limit.
Other than that, though, it's an excellent all-in-one. |
| Does everything very well 2010-03-11 |
| By Scott B. Husted |
| For your money, this multi-function printer from Canon is hard to beat! Everything works very well and it is not hard to set up. I had it connected to my Wi-Fi network in minutes. The longest part was simply typing in my security code for the network. Print quality is very good for an ink jet, even on the 'standard' quality. Photo prints are pretty good as well. No, this isn't going to match the high end photo printers on the market - but in a pinch it does a very good job for some quick prints. Duplex mode works fine and the scanner with document feeder is very convenient as well. This printer is a bargain, the caveat being I haven't had it long enough to measure the true ink consumption yet. |
