Printer Great. CD was cracked :(
overall the printer was and is great to use.
The Printer Ink is great too for its so much cheaper to buy then the other HP printers Ive had.
Sad though, this Printer came with a cracked CD in the box. and I don't know how to get another CD. The printer is great but I had to go to the HP website and download it from their.

Great Buy
Got the product for a bargain.

Shipping was fast. Product intact and working well.

Epson Workforce 610 Printer
Printer was easy to set up and print quality is excellent. However, you have to suffer the high noise level to get high quality print. I am a deep sleeper and this thing could wake me up!

Quality Ink for low price
The ink was easy to order, was of good quality at a reasonable price. I received the order in a reasonable time frame. I would definetly order again.

nice for the price
For 0, you can't go wrong. I have owned countless HP's and Epson's and they are all about the same. I work in a office with decent amount of invoices and lists to print. What is the true difference???? The price of the ink. If you are using this for work and need great presentations and colors, you should be buying a much more expensive printer. Wouldn't race in NASCAR with a Dodge Neon so why even discuss the quality of the print if you are buying this MFC. The machine prints well enough to send to anyone that is not in the printing business, faxes okay (no complaints from any recipent so far), scans well, and finally, the copies came out fine...

Now the good part, the ink is not expensive compared to HP and Epson. They have non-OEM for less, but that is taking a risk (ink may leak) so I decided to pay more for original blk cartridge (meaning about pennies more per page) but I am sure my printer will last as long as I don't get tired of it.

Good if you print often, otherwise look elsewhere
I have not used this exact model, but we have four different earlier models with the same basic design as this printer.
The good: prints well enough for office copies (have not tried high quality photo printing), rarely if ever jams on us, fast draft copies, scanner works well enough. An incredible value and feature set for the money. Also good is that the print head is not built into the ink tanks, so you can get cheap ink replacements. Surprisingly, the ADF is reliable and doesn't jam when feeding multiple sheets, as long as the pages aren't dog-eared. The ones that we print/scan with frequently (every day) have been real reliable workhorses.
The bad: if you don't print often, like going a week or two without printing, eventually one of the print heads will clog. This is pretty much true of almost any inkjet printer, and the Brothers are no different. Inkjet printers need to be used. All inkjet printers, including the Brother, have head cleaning commands to fix this. However, at some point, you will find that this is not enough, and you simply cannot get the printer to print one or more colors. When this happens, your only hope is to clean the printheads manually. The problem with the Brother printers of this design is that the print heads are buried inside the printer and are completely inaccessible. Also, it is impossible to disassemble the printer to access the print heads to clean them. At some point, if you're not consistently printing fairly often, you may find that this product is hopelessly clogged and unusable as a printer, as we have on two that we use infrequently. For infrequent printing, I would recommend looking at a plain inkjet printer that gives you easy access to the print heads. Then again, for this price, if you only get a couple of years out of it, it's not all that bad.

Great Printer
This is a great all-in-one printer. I own two of them (different locations) and have not had any problems with either one.

Great Printer
This is a great printer. The only complaint I have is, the ink is supposed to not run. I did some business cards, waited 4 days, ran water on it and it did run. Other than that it is wonderful and easy to set up.

Epson Printer
I love my printer. I was concerned with the other reviews on setting up the WIFI but I did not have any issues. It works great and has great quality - I love the look of it. The auto recieve fax is perfect and is smart enough to answer faxes on its own. I do think the paper tray seems a bit flimsy but I have not had any issues or trouble. I print a lot of checks so I need to pull it out and put back in alot - which is kind of a pain. Although, I have not had a single check print incorrectly since i got it so that is spectacular!

Ok Printer
The printer is working fine. Usually I was lucky with Canon printers. The last one, IP3000, I had it for over 5 years...

Canon fails in the packaging department big time
I've purchased the 4700 because my old one (Canon Pixma iP1500) stopped functioning one day. I'm a big fan of Canon and their quality - especially SLR cameras and scanners - so I bought the best A4 Canon printer available.

I know the print quality of Canon is great when genuine ink and paper are used. I also know that ink tanks are very expensive and need replacement way too soon. This is the game. There are enough reviews about the quality and the ink consumption.

What I'm very angry about is how much junk they include in the box!

After I got the warranty, the sample set of photo paper and the printer itself, I still got about half a box full of useless leaflets, papers, documents, explanations, warnings and other things - so much wasted paper. It's a shame. They've also included a CD full of software which nobody will ever use, and some outdated drivers, which every normal person will download from [...] anyway.

But the best part is yet to come:

There is no USB cable.

You have a 0 printer with all those papers and accessories, but you can't print a single page because you don't have the cable to connect it to your computer.

I'm speechless.

Canon, you should learn from Apple how to do your packaging. You need to be more responsible.

as adverised
very satisfied for the price, however a usb cable for printer was not included, requiring a special trip to purchase one. seems pretty petty for a .00 cable. should be packaged ready to set-up

Decent, low-cost printer, photos don't pop though
I switched to this from an older Epson because I didn't use the Epson enough, so had to clean the ink cartridges on it every single time almost that I printed which resulted in a lot of wasted ink. I wasn't looking for something to replace that per se, just for something that allowed me to, once in awhile, print out some photos at home.

For the price, you honestly can't really go wrong with this. It does what it says it will. I also just went 3 weeks between printings, and when I went to print something today, I had no issues doing so which is huge in my book.

My only real complaint with it is that the photos just don't "pop". All of them look a little washed out. Yes, I've calibrated my monitor, and I've even had the same photos printed out through Snapfish/Walgreens and Shutterfly, and they look great coming from there.

If this is all you can afford, then it's fine, but if you have the money and want to print out photos a lot, then I'd recommend something else with better quality.

Great Printer at a Great Price
I've had a Canon printer previously, so I expected good things. I wasn't disappointed. You can't beat the features and quality of this unit for the price. It is sturdily made, not one of those flimsy things. It has a flip up LCD screen and navigational buttons. You can plug in your digital camera or you can put the camera cards into the machine to print out pictures. It's wireless, of course, which is great. It also copies and scans, and you have the option of scanning into .pdf format, which is cool. It can duplex also, though I think you have to flip the paper for that, like it prints all the odd pages then you flip and it prints the even sides. I have a printer at work that prints on both sides without having to flip, but for the price, I can't complain. I've never had a problem with the wireless connection. The unit is on the top floor, as is my router, but I can print out things sitting in the basement with my laptop. Printing is extremely quiet; occasionally I'm not sure the document actually printed, but it did, I just didn't hear it, even though sitting in the room. My favorite thing with Cannon is how each color of ink is separate, so you just buy what you need. And, my inks have lasted a long time. I'm totally happy with the purchase.

Works well in mixed PC-Mac home
I previously an HP printer connected to my Mac for a couple of years but the Vista PC's in my home always had trouble using it. So, I finally gave in and purchased this Canon printer. After using it for several months I can confidently say that I am very happy with it. It was easy to connect to my Linksys wireless router and the Mac, a Vista laptop a Windows XP laptop and Vista desktop can all print via wireless connection. And the best thing is, my Mac no longer has to be powered on for everyone else to print! I have also found that my Mac can connect to the printer via USB as well if so desired. Oh, I also like how the front door can be closed but, it will open automatically when a print job starts! Ink usage seems reasonable so far.

Good midrange printer
I have had this printer for over a month now. It doesn't get used daily but often enough. Ink usage seems to be low compared to what I have read about a lot of other printers in this class. The wireless setup was fairly easy and has worked perfeclty. It's not the fastest printer especially when doing two sided but fast enough for home use. Quality has been excellent.
So far it has been one of the best inkjet printers i have owned which were mostly HP.

So far so good
The printer was easy to setup, the wifi is a very nice feature, less cords. The provided software installed easily. Jack
