 Great printer |

| The Cannon MP620 all in one is a great product. It was easy to set up. It has wireless capabilities, but you will need other equipement to do so depending on your home system. ie. blue tooth or router etc. It prints quietly and the quality of print is great. It does print slower than other printers, but that isn't a concern for my needs. I love the on board screen that you can easily navigate to print, fax, copy, scan, send to documents etc. It looks good especially for a home office. The paper is loaded in the bottom tray, so it isn't exposed giving in a clean-lines appearance. It also has a small footprint which is amazing thinking of all it does. You can close the output tray when not in use. If you forget to open it for printing, it opens itself. It has 5 inkwells, so the ink is more cost effective. I will say since it is a newer product, so you may not find the ink just anywhere yet. It is also confusing which ink goes with it. It takes Cannon CLI 221 magenta, black, yellow, cyan and a larger PGI 220 black ink cartriges. The 221 are about $12 each and the 220 is about $15. You can get multi packs to save some too. All in all I am very happy with the product. |
The "easy" button for wireless printing!

This printer is meant to be a general-purpose printer for us. While I do not have the experience to compare this with other recently made photo printers, I will say that the photo I did print with it looked much better then any other home printed photo I have done with the "photo printers' we have had. The reason for this review is to praise it for connecting to my home network with ease. Wireless setup was truly amazingly easy with this printer!
When the wife wanted to take our printing wireless we had shopped the local electronics stores. Unfortunately, the MP620 or any other wireless printers from Canon were not available at any of them so we decided on an HP product. Forty-five minutes on the phone with tech support, an exchange of that printer for another, and 1 1/2 more hours on the phone with tech support and it was still not working wirelessly! In came this MP620 from Amazon and 10 minutes later it was working perfectly on our home network!!

Earlier this year I bought the HP C8180 Photosmart All In One, which prints some great pictures, but is so slow on spooling the first page of a print and makes so much noise it was driving me crazy. It took nearly 30 seconds to start printing, using the wireless connection. Before you say I'm being picky, imagine being in a rush to get out the door and needing to print off an important document. You hit the print button and the printer just sits there silent, starring back at you with that vacant look in its eyes. At this point for me I start pulling out the few hairs left on my head and then suddenly it starts making all of the annoying little sounds it makes and checking the picture tray for paper adding so much more wasted time until it finally hits the main paper tray and starts shooting out papers. Finally I gave up on it and bought this printer last week because Canons previous model (Canon Pixma MP610) had such great reviews and the few this one (Canon MP620) had were very positive. After setup, which I'll touch on later, I printed some test documents using the wireless connection and the Canon printer spooled in less than 2 seconds after hitting the print button and thank Canon it makes very little noise through the whole process. The documents print great and the pictures are remarkable. I seriously love this printer, maybe some of it had to do with my loathe for my previous printer, but I would recommend this product to anyone in the market for a new printer. Anyone looking for a used printer give me a hollar at... lol j/k.I gave the HP to my parents they don't really care about the speed and noise issues.
So for the setup.
I work with electronics a lot and knew I wouldn't have a problem setting up this printer even after reading the reviews that said it was "too complex to setup" or skip the directions that come with it. So I followed the directions exactly and with the help of my three year old daughter I got this thing setup and printing with in a half hour or so. I swear I didn't stray from the directions at all. It really isn't difficult to setup so if that worries you just make sure you read through the instructions once or twice before you start messing with things.

| Just received this printer. Had an HP all in one before which was ok except that the software was not ok. i set up this printer and was printing in just a few minutes. so far it is working very well. Beautiful color photos. Does make a bit of noise now and again when starting or warming up but they say that its normal. One thing is that it is quite large. I like the idea that it has a separate closed print tray for regular paper in front and a photo paper tray at back top. so everything can be kept closed for dust not to enter. The door you collect your printed paper from automatically opens if you forget to open it... |
Excellent MFP, lots of connectivity options

I have been using the MFP for 2 weeks now and I had nothing but positive experience. Some reviewers complain that the unit is very large. This is scanner, copier, and printer in one! Comparing to most other MFPs, it is quite small. With back tray folded, it takes the same footprint as my old Epson 777 printer.
Setup is a breeze. I actually found setup guide well written, it provides enough information to set the unit, the actual manual is installed with software package. I consider this is a benefit to having a printed manual as you always have the electronic version at your fingertips.
No issues connecting to network. I set 2 PCs (Vista and XP) in a matter of minutes.
One drawback which does not warrant lower rating is rather archaic head alignment procedure. Printer prints 3 pages of black and blue boxes telling the user to pick the best one from a group and enter box number via menu. I've seen Lexmark and HP printers to perform this task automatically.
Overall an excellent unit, great photos, very good text (for inkjet), scan quality on par with more expensive HP product, software suite is light years better (and smaller) than HP or Lexmark. |
