Side by Side Comparison of: Canon vs HP

The Canon MX922 is by far the best color printer I've ever had:
1. The quality of color prints is fabulous, especially on high-quality photo paper e.g. Kodak Metallic
2. The quality of black and white print is really good too
3. Unlike other printers, ink cartridges can be used until they actually run dry, and not only until the point that warning messages are displayed and the printer refuses to print
4. Scan quality is great too

Down sides? Sometimes it's slow to react but that's often when my computer is tired and needs a reboot. But I use it in my home and not for commercial purposes, so at the price it's really nothing to complain about.

I received my Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless Office All-In-One printer very quickly and packaged very nicely. I previously had an "Ink devouring HP All-In-One printer which had many problems". However, this Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless Office All-In-One provides all of the services at a affordable cost and has not run out of Ink in over two months, :-). I am just amazed at the quality of picture reproduction, even my family now has the Canon products. The Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless Office All-In-One works seamlessly with your computer, and wirelessly provides all of the services you will need. All while saving you money for the cost of reproduction and giving BEST quality of any All-In-One printer on the market currently. I highly recommend to everyone who needs an excellent printer, that you purchase the Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless Office All-In-One and you will be extremely happy you did and save money on each reproduction. I did not receive any benefits for my review of this amazing product, I just wanted everyone to know how great this printer is from Canon.

Like many people I had used HP printers for years. However, i was not happy with the print quality of my photos and I was particularly unhappy with how loud the printer was. When I saw this Canon on sale I decided it was time for a change. It was a great move on my part as this printer delivers all that it advertises and more. The print quality is superb and for an home inkjet printer it is reasonably quiet. It doesn't really disturb me while i'm in the same room and is barely noticeably from anywhere else (my last HP could be heard from 2 rooms away). I haven't done a paper count to see how much ink I'm actually using compared to the company's estimate but the difference from my HP, if there is one, hasn't been noticeable.

The quality of the print is excellent, especially the photos. I don't know how many people still print photos but my wife still loves to have prints to one day eventually put into albums someday in the future and the print quality of the photos from this Canon is superb. I have a hard time distinguishing which ones I printed and which ones were sent out to be printed.

All in all I couldn't be happier with this printer..

This is the most incredible piece of electronic hardware I have ever purchased as far as printers, scanners, and fax machines goes. And I've had plenty of competing brands (Epsom, Brother, HP, etc.). None have ever come close to the absolute sleekness and perfection of the print quality, and it is quite simply the easiest to set up and use, even if it is your first time for an "all in one" piece. My four year old granddaughter could breeze through this with no problem!
I am so very glad I did over an hour and a half, or more, to research and compare all the others out there. At $99, there is simply no comparison. I did buy the "ink4work Set of 20 pack PGI-250XL backup set of cartridges due to the fabulous reviews I read from other Amazon buyers, and although I haven't used any yet, it is a good feeling for $20 to have all of these as backup in case I blast through one or more colors on a specific project. One problem: Canon did not send me the cartridges in the package when I opened it and started following the very simple "fast set up" directions. Bummer! Thank goodness I had already purchased and received the generic backups - I was good to go! I will be calling Canon to let them know that I went through the box and the shipping materials very carefully, thinking maybe I threw them out by accident. No such luck. Hopefully they will make good on sending me what should have come with the unit.

I would recommend this for the novice as well as us who depend on these products to run our businesses from home a vital tool. If I can think of it, I'll update in a couple of months to let you know how it works. Total FIVE STARS. Great price on Amazon.

That said, I don't try different brands so I can compare them, so I may be biased. My camera equipment is Canon (for many years) and so my last printer was a Canon IP6000, purchased in 2006, for printing 4x6 photos (and documents). It worked great until recently when it suddenly slowed way down, which is what prompted me to go shopping. Naturally I read the reviews for Canon printers (and some other brands) and it appeared that this one was the newest technology and already had favorable reviews, including from people with home businesses.

Now, let's switch gears. My printing needs have diminished over the years as I have become increasingly more digital in document storage, online financial transactions, etc. Basically, if I can do it digitally, then that is the route I take. This includes my photo collection which is stored on my iPad for showing off. :-) I also bought a CanoScan 8600F (flatbed scanner) in 2006, which is still in use.

So, imagine my very pleasant surprise when I discovered the awesome speed and stream-lined functionality of the multi-sheet scanning feature! If one sets up a directory (in the accompanying software utilities) ahead of time, then it's as simple as loading your documents, hitting either start button (black or color) and very quickly a pdf file shows up in the pre-set directory. Did I mention it has an ethernet port and is quickly (and painlessly) recognized on the network once the drivers are installed? I don't like Wi-Fi for home networking, I prefer ethernet (gigabit speed) when ever I can get it, so this port was a big plus for me. All of my computers see and work with the Fax driver, Printer driver and Scanning driver.

Now, let's mention some little things that make this machine great. I never turn it off as it has a low-power state (automatic after a few minutes of inactivity) where everything powers down with only one small, blue light glowing. If I send something to the printer it immediately comes to life, takes a few moments to warm up and (this is cool) the paper output tray *automatically* opens and the extension support flips out! It's the little things that make me smile. :-) Also, if I place one or more documents in the scanner slot (while in low power mode) then it instantly springs to life and takes a few moments to warm up.

Having stated that I print less and less these days, I must say I was impressed with the ink cartridges. They all have small, red LED lights that confirm they are plugged in correctly and in working order! Another smile. :-) Now I don't FAX much these days, but it's nice to know that it is hooked into the "clone" line through my PhonePower VOIP adapter (2 ports) and therefore is available upon demand. Oh, btw, the top lifts up like a flatbed scanner also, so I guess I will be donating the CanoScan 8600F soon.

Final analysis: This machine's capabilities pleasantly exceeded my expectations, even after reading the specs and reviews. It has proven to be fairly equal in functionality to the Xerox multi-function machine at work, but at a fraction of the cost. The only thing it can't do is print 11x17, but that isn't an issue at this time. I will try to get back in a year to report on it's longevity prospects.

UPDATE: I have knocked the rating down to 4 stars because there is no secondary sheet feeder. (My rating for this is actually 4.5 but that choice isn't available). Occasionally I have need to print on 8.5 x 14 (legal). With this unit one must remove the regular paper from the lower (main) paper tray, extend it out (at least they did build that into the unit) and load the 8.5 x 14 paper. I suppose I have been spoiled by top (secondary) sheet feeders on previous printers, so this is a small let-down. I guess I assumed the scanning feeder could be used as a secondary sheet feeder (for printing) but due to the design of the machine it cannot.

UPDATE, 11-24-13: I had occasion to send my sister a letter today (she hates email) so I typed one up and hit the print button. I have not printed anything for several months, and the print cartridges are now 7 months old. My letterhead includes a small photo of a sunset over a local river at the bottom. After hitting the print button the machine woke up, flipped out the print tray, spent a minute doing a self-diagnostics, then printed out my one page in about 7 seconds. Apart from a slight smudge at the top (probably due to inactivity for several months) the letter printed out flawlessly, including the photo. I reprinted the letter and there were no smudges or flaws. Since I have not needed "legal" size paper anymore, I am changing my rating to 5 stars since this machine is doing everything I need it to do.

UPDATE, 05-25-14: I lost my mother on Feb. 1 and inherited her estate. I was forced to move temporarily from WA to KY to liquidate the estate. My first priority was to set up my office so I could deal with the legal, financial and medical accounts and issues. I am also Trustee so there were many Will disbursements to deal with. I did not bring my MX922 from WA, instead I bought a new one once here. After 4 months of scanning, copying, and printing, I can now say I have given this machine a workout, including the printing function. It has performed most excellent. I also needed to buy more ink cartridges and discovered an alternate source (here on Amazon) for cartridges that are: (a) a fraction of the cost of Canon cartridges, (b) still have the same red LED's on them that communicate with the printer and (c) are relatively CLEAR, so one can see how much ink is left. I still cannot comment on photo printing as I am all digital these days when it comes to photography. But I can give this unit 5 stars for being a workhorse in all other areas! I can also say that if one schedules their need for printing envelopes in batches, this unit does that professionally as well.

UPDATE, 08-24-15: Earlier in the year I decided to start creating my own greeting cards (using CorelDraw) and printing out 5x7 photos for b-day gifts to relatives and friends (from PhotoShop). Both machines are still working great, and they produce exceptional photos. There are settings within the Canon print drivers that one can play with to improve the photo quality as well. I can also endorse the much cheaper ink cartridges that I buy from Blake Printing Supply on Amazon. I have gone through 2 sets (10 cartridges in a set) and they work great as well. For those wanting to find them, do a search on Amazon for "MX922 compatible ink cartridges" and look for Blake Printing Supply.

This printer is not bad at all. Only thing that could be better would be the scan of a photo. Makes absolute perfect copies even with computer turned off. HP is known for making good printers. The ink for this one is not too much for either black or color. Don't forget to not have any of that junk software installed at the beginning. Its like 6 to 8 software items. Don't check any of it. Read carefully. I'm digging this printer for being under 100 bucks. Yeah, I'd recommend this printer to others.

This is a great printer! It has worked perfectly since I purchased it. I have printed documents and pictures. The documents are clear. The pictures turn out great! The color is perfect and the pictures look natural. The printer is quiet when it prints. It was easy to hook up. I like the wireless hook up so I can print from anywhere in my house. It is also nice to be able to print from my cell phone. The ink seems to last better than the other printers I have had. Overall this is a great printer.

I was having problems with my old printer and thought it may have something to do with the refilled ink cartridges I was buying so I went to purchase brand new ones. It was going to cost me $100 just for the ink cartridges and that may not have even been the problem. I decided to just get a brand new printer with ink cartridges that were affordable. I came across this and thought I would try it. I use this at home to print whatever on regular paper. I do not print out photos, but I think this would do just fine. The installation was extremely easy and I am not really that tech savvy. I could not get it to sync with my laptop on-line, I had to use the CD, but that was fine. I went to the HP website and I picked my printer, but when I clicked on the "begin" button on the site, but nothing happened. Not sure, but I got it to work. The color and black ink work great with no smearing or anything like that. I have used the scan function a couple of times and it is super easy to use too. It holds a good amount of paper for me. We really do not print a lot here so even the starter ink that it came with is still in there. The replacement ink cartridges are reasonably priced as well as this printer. I love the touch screen. It registers my light touch just fine. I cannot say enough good things about this printer. It really has worked for what I need it for.

HP consistently produces top quality printers, and this Wifi enabled Envy 5660 is no exception. If you want something reliable that just needs ink and paper, this is what you need.=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=UPDATE after over a year ("notes from the field")I have owned a LOT of printers, primarily Epson years ago and HP models in recent years, and I am quote pleased to say that this is by far the best and easiest printer to use that I have ever owned! I summed it up quote well even a year ago: all it needs is paper and ink. You will not be disappointed - HIGHLY recommended! Works perfectly with high weight (I. E. 28# bond or 30# "photo" grade paper). I have never had one single problem with this printer - except my own lack of foresight in keeping ink on hand. That beings up the HP "Instant Ink" conundrum. It works quote well IF you print consistently the same amount of color and B&W pages each month, otherwise you are better of "rolling your own". That also begs the question about OEM/HP inks versus 3rd party ink makers. I have to say that I have never had problems with HP inks, but I also have to say thar t within reason, most 3rd party ink manufacturers make first quality ink at this point. Admittedly this may not have been the case a couple of years ago, but it's no longer true. Personally I do stay away from the remanufacturer or refill type ink cartridges, but your mileage WILL vary. If you are comfortable using them, you can save money. In my mind, it's with a few extra coins to stock with OEM or 3rd party ink.

I can't believe I waited this long to buy a new printer!Home printing technology has really come a long way in the past few years. Our previous printer was a Lexmark all-in-one with wifi, but this printer blows it out of the water. In this mobile age where people barely even use computers anymore, the Lexmark printer was showing its age. It didn't allow us to print from our mobile devices. The HP Envy does all that and more! Not only can you print wirelessly, you can connect your device directly to the printer, no wireless router required. You can also print from anywhere in the world, just by emailing your printer.Scanning documents and pictures have never been easier. Use the app on your device to scan and crop documents or pictures, which are then sent to your phone.HP also offers a service called HP Printables which allow you to subscribe to different things that will automatically print at whatever schedule you set.Now with all this printing, you'd probably screaming "What about the ink?!" Well HP also offers another service called Instant Ink. It's a subscription service where they send you ink cartridges, and you pay for an allotment of pages each month. The lowest tier is 50 pages/month for $2.99/month. Each additional 15 pages is just $1. And when the ink gets low, they will automatically send replacement cartridges. Talk about convenience, and savings to boot!So if you're still using that old "dumb" printer, I recommend throwing that piece of junk away and getting this or any of the other new HP printers.

Exceptionally versatile printer. VERY EASY to set up for your home network. Comes with downloadable extras for making all kinds of printed material for use everyday. I read a guy's review on this before my purchase. I don't find it as noisy has he may have, but I was (and still am) using a 14 year old HP Deskjet that is becoming more difficult to find cartridges for. I have 3 computers and the ENVY 5660 fit ALL their needs to print anything, anywhere, anytime. Even from your smart phone with a small HP app download for your phone. The review I read was not overstated on anything but the gentleman wondered (as he hadn't tried it) how card stock would do. I do a LOT of card stock and it passes through this computer quite well. No hitches or glitches. I would caution only one thing: When you remove it from the box it comes in, ENSURE you have removed ALL the blue tape used to hold removable items with. A couple of the pieces are quite well hidden because / for shipping purposes. You will enjoy this item. Prints beautifully !

I had the prior model of this, the 890 series, but after about two years it suddenly stopped printing and the Canon technician said it cannot be fixed. The printer was perfect – it did everything I needed. So I bought this next generation, this MX922. It seems to be identical except for one real bummer: they removed the external paper feeder, which I used all the time. Now you have to dig down and pull the drawer out to add paper or to see what's there. A pain, but doable. Would have given this five stars if they have that external paper feeder.

I've had the printer for a few months now, and it's great! Never had a double-sided printing printer before, but this is so convenient! I use it to print lab reports and powerpoint notes for school constantly. The deep paper tray has me running only to collect my homework, and not to refill the paper again. It connects to laptops by Wifi, and it's so simple to use!
The only thing is sometimes this printer switches trays on the automatic option, and it will say the printer is empty, when it's really just trying to print your full sized document onto photo paper (which I took out of the upper tray because of this). Also, the paper they give you for the bottom tray is essential to keep at the bottom of the paper pile, it helps the printer align, and it doesn't print correctly without it. To me, this printer is a fantastic buy, and even with the quirks, I'd but this one again.

Overall, this is an outstanding product and does exactly what it's supposed to do. You can print directly onto CD's or paper. You can scan, fax, or copy. And you can do it all wirelessly. Trust me, printing from your phone at any time while connected to your home network is an incredible feeling. I have had issues doing this using other printers, but a streamlined process with this one.
I do, however, wish this printer was a little quicker. It really seems to take a while to get going once you've clicked the print button on your device.
Also, you will notice the cost-per-page is higher than average - although the ability to buy separate ink cartridges for each color is a nice benefit, and can help save some money.
So overall, I give this product 4 out of 5 stars! I am very satisfied with this product and will continue to buy from Canon and Amazon as well.
Thank you!

This is my first review on any product on Amazon, this review will be on the Canon PIXMA MX922 Wireless Color Photo Printer with Scanner, Copier and Fax. After reading almost 75 reviews this will be focusing on the reviews with 1-2 stars. First to the complaints on the wireless air-print from Ios or Android, if you setup the printer using WPS your phone will never pick up the printer or will appear offline. You have to select WLAN Setup from Menu on the printer then select other setup options on the LCD screen then select standard setup and find your router then select and type in your password then connect. Also you have to make sure your phone is on the same channel, so especially if you have a dual-band router and your phone is on the 5ghz channel and the printer is on the 2.4ghz channel you will also run into problems. So every thing has to be on same channel, phone on 2.4ghz then the printer has to be on 2.4ghz channel then you will have absolutely no problems printing from your phone. Then with the complaints about noise there is a Quit mode selection in the menu when turned on it reduced all printer noise by at least 75%. Now to the ink consumption this printer is one of the best in the simple fact that if one of your cartridges runs out it will continue to print. Also the printer by default will print even all Black and White documents in the color setting because it brings a better quality this can simply be changed in your printer settings in your control panel to Black and White so most regular text documents will use the XXL cartridge which lasts for ever. With this setting changed if the page has color it stills prints in color.Compared to other printers when one cartridge runs out the printer will not continue to print until the ink cartridge is changed. The Canon PIXMA MX922 is one of the best printers I've used regarding ink, as a plus you can buy a color and XXL Black cartridge set from Amazon for a total of $60. As far as the scanner and copier go's it is one of the best I've used on a printer under $200. Have not had a chance to use the Fax so I can't reply in this review on that subject. One of the few downfalls of this printer is the size it really is a rather large printer compared to other all in one printers in it's class so take that into consideration. Photos are absolutely beautiful when used with Cannon Pro Platinum photo paper at 4x6 100 sheets for $20 on Amazon. As far as setup and install program wise it's pretty much standard procedure. I've had the printer for about two weeks now and really I am so impressed for only $99. To those saying about break downs well with the SquareTrade 3-Year Electronics Protection Plan ($75-100) for only $14.20 how can you go wrong? There is another slight downside if you don't have a router or wireless access the printer doesn't come with the USB cable to direct connect, but one can be purchased on Amazon for $5.49 the Mediabridge USB 2.0 - A Male to B Male Cable (10 Feet) - High-Speed with Gold-Plated Connectors - Black. For those people giving this printer 1-2 stars it really is not their fault they are just ignorant to technology. Throwing off people into second guessing in purchasing this amazing piece of home all in one equipment. The auto 35 page duplex is also so time saving and conserves so much on paper consumption. I really hope this review finds people who are interested in purchasing this machine. The VERY few downsides like the USB and shear size is the only reason I didn't give this product a 5 star rating. I hope this review was helpful in letting you disregard the people giving this product 1-2 stars. Thanks for taking the time to read a real review!

I always buy the all-in-ones that are able to automatically print duplex and that include a fax since I still need to fax upon occasion. In the past I've had HP, but haven't had great experiences with their printers lately (the last one I had starting failing one month after the 1 year warranty expired. HP said "tough luck" essentially, even though I read that my issues were VERY common with their products. They had no sense of ownership...). So I moved on to Canon.

This model, while shorter than my past printers, has a bigger footprint. My husbands exact remark when I unpacked it was "So I see you decided to go with the small model." Yes, he's a bit sarcastic :) .

What is great about it so far (I haven't played with all the features yet; I'll update as I do that):

1. Unpacking it is relatively easy. It's bulky and a bit heavy, but Canon put it in a bag. So you can lift up the handles and it pulls the printer right out of the box. This is the first time I've seen this. It was so much easier than my printers in the past where I had to smash my hands down in the box, try to get a grip, and then try to coax the printer out of the box.
2. It was very easy to install. The install takes about 14 minutes, but the install program warns you of this. And since all you have to do is wait it's very easy.
3. It has a user guide that comes with the printer. Now don't get too excited - it's not printed. BUT it is added to your system upon installation and the sw that is installed on your system also has links to it online. This is the first time I've actually found it easy to get a user guide since they stopped providing the printed copy in the box. I may actually like it better than the printed copy since it's just a click away. And I'm a person who uses the guide since I like to use advanced features
4. It is bluetooth capable. I find this is the easiest way to print pictures from my phone (even my 6 year old can do it) so this is a plus. Do I wish the bluetooth was built in? Yes. But since I had an extra adapter laying around this wasn't an issue. I plugged in the adapter and it instantly was ready. So easy.
5. It is wi-fi ready and the wi-fi works. This was the first thing to go on my last printer, so working wi-fi makes me happy. We'll see how long it lasts, but I haven't heard of major issues with the Canons so I'm not worried.
6. It is cloud ready. I set it up to connect to Google Cloud Print. And I put that app on my tablets. So now I can easily print from my samsung tablet. The setup was easy to do - I followed the steps in the user guide.
7. The tray that catches the paper can fold up to stay out of the way when you aren't printing. I like this because I've got pets and I hate the thought of fur getting into my printer. And, the best part (and my favorite gee-whiz feature hands down) is that it automatically opens when you send a print job. I l-o-v-e that. It's the little things in life, right? :)

What I'm not so crazy about: The menus and lack of touch screen. Maybe it's because I'm changing brands, but the menus are not as intuitive as I'd like. I find myself referencing the guide more than I'd like to so I can find what I need in the menus. And since it's not touch screen you've got to navigate using a keypad off to the side. I find that cumbersome. But I'm sure I'll get used to both these things as time goes on. Oh, and I wish someone would invent a black printer that didn't show every dust particle. Ooh, a stainless steel printer would be nice; it would then match my kitchen appliances and look quite snazzy in my office.

So far I've set up multiple computers, printed wirelessly, printed via cloud, printed via bluetooth, printed pictures and set up my fax preferences. I haven't scanned or faxed yet, but all the printing has been good quality. It's a bit quieter than my HPs which is nice. And the starter ink that was included seems to be going a long way.

When I get a chance I'll put it through the paces (I WILL try every feature in the guide. I'm just one of those people) and I'll update my review. In the meantime, I definitely recommend the printer for ease of setup and solid performance.

I am a wannabe artist and bought this to print out images and silhouettes. I love the instant ink feature. Ink is so expensive. That's one of the reasons I bought this because it was cheaper than buying ink for my old one! Now for $2.99 I never have to worry about ink again. Yeah!!😁 I've never really printed pictures on it but I love it. I can print from my phone or iPad so the world is good! I also read it was good for printing Coloring pages so that's another plus.I love how easy it is to use too. I sometimes need to increase or decrease the size of images and it's so easy. When I had to replace my ink cartridges there was a video to show me how. How cool is that?I had my last HP printer for over 12 years and never had a problem with it. It still worked when I got rid of it. It just needed ink. So you can count on HP. If it last half that long I'll be happy!! So buy it now!💕💞

great printer so far, prints good color, good speed. Scans/copys clear. fairly easy interface and was easy to connect via wireless etc. Time will tell if it lasts and what kinda cartridge life I get out of it. Im a med to low qty user.5/17/2017So far, Ive been through the sample cartridges, and almost a full pack of 62xl which are the extended life units. I have printed 397 total prints so NOT TOO IMPRESSED with cartridge life so far. Most of those were monochrome prints to boot.8/20/17Look elsewhere.....ive been thru XL and standard cartridges. $185 for 695 prints...most of em black. Prints good...total BS on ink life....doesn't seem to matter where you get ink. Look elsewhere, this is an INKHOG!!

I like the printer, however, the get started booklet sent me to a site "123.hp.com" that ended up infecting my computer. When I went to the site I was invited into a chat. The chat asked for my name and phone number so an expert could help me. The expert, Roy, called me and took over my computer, without asking permission. This should have clued me in but I was trusting because I thought I was dealing with hp. Roy managed to infect my computer with 3880 objects, and he was unable to get my printer working from my computer. I was able to get it to print from my computer after Roy was finished. In the future I will only go to an official site regardless of what the instruction book tells me to do. Good printer bad start up booklet.

I like this printer a lot. I bought it because my old printer failed to print the color yellow. I wanted a printer that was good for excellent photo printing, and based on my observations so far it is a good buy.I found it easy to set up following the instructions. It gave me a weird error message when I tried to remotely log it into the wireless network according to the instructions, but it turned out that it had really connected and when I reran the wizard it went through fine.I'm trying the HP Instant Ink arrangement. I realize that the fact that the color ink comes in a single cartridge is a way of making sure I go through more ink, and it's a bit of a racket to sign up for a monthly fee rather than pay for it myself when needed, but it is a convenience and if the cost is not too bad it will be worth it in the end. And if I don't like the Instant Ink arrangement I can stop at any time and just buy ink when I need it.All in all, it's a good deal. I'd rather the color inks were in separate cartridges to make it a little more cost-effective, but that's a minor issue for me.

I just got this printer a couple of days ago. Here are a few tips and comments. 1) Do everything in the order specified in the setup directions, especially connecting the printer to the computer and loading the ink cartridges. 2) Use "bright white" paper. The thin cheap stuff will cause paper jams. It won't happen with the heavier gauge paper. 3) I initially had out of paper messages, but they went away after I loaded the paper correctly. 4) After loading the software disc, don't register for anything you don't want, even though you're continually prompted to do so. There is a way to opt out of all the sales pitches. Scroll down and you'll see the tabs. They look greyed out, but you can still use them. The printer will work fine without all the addons HP is trying to sell you. 5)The wireless functions work nicely. My other computer recognized the printer, installed the drivers, and printed remotely with no problem. 6) The feature that allows you to print photos from your phone is also really nice. Just download the HP ePrint app and you're good to go. 7) If you're shopping for a printer that will make lab quality photos, this not the one for you. The few that I've printed are fine for me, but I'm not a professional. If YOU are, then you'll have spend a lot more for the results you want. This is just my opinion, though. I'm not experiencing any kind of high pitched sounds that some other reviewers were hearing, but obviously some people are hearing them.If I run into problems, I'll make another post.

I read LOTS of reviews of other printers before purchasing this one. I have an HP computer and wanted an HP printer to avoid any compatibility issues. I've owned 2 HP printers previously and wore both of them out. During my search, the most frequent complaint I found was that most of the newer printers take separate color ink cartridges and will not print, even in black and white, unless all the cartridges are full, forcing users to have to change cartridges which are not empty. In my opinion, this is a rotten way for printer manufacturers to treat their customers, as the cost of ink is already ridiculous and having to remove cartridges that are not empty is pretty outrageous. Who wants a bunch of half-filled cartridges lying around? Also, the initial cash outlay for separate color cartridges is much higher than for the tri-color ones. Evidently, HP listened to those complaints, as THIS PRINTER TAKES ONE black cartridge and ONE tri-color cartridge, (#62) which runs about $32 for a combo pack. The combo pack also includes free 5 X7 photo papers and envelopes, a feature that I use a lot. If it runs out of one or more colors, it will still print.The printer itself is a good one. Copies and scans come out crisp and clean, as do photos. (I made all my holiday cards on the free photo paper this year, and they turned out very nice.) Changing cartridges is easy- you lift the lid and the glass plate, pop out the old one and snap in a new one. I do a lot of scanning and it is very easy, providing you load all the features into your computer from the CD that is included. I did NOT have to download any drivers from the internet. It also prints wirelessly, a feature that I haven't used.Another common complaint was having to always print an alignment page and go through the alignment process before you could print. HP changed this too, as a box now pops up, giving you the option of aligning, postponing or cancelling alignment. You can also postpone alignment from the touchscreen on the printer. It takes all sizes of paper, and prints well on glossy photo papers. The only thing I have not tried yet is card stock. It is a bit noisy, but this is not a big deal for me. I do need to remind myself to push in the spring-loaded pop-out paper catcher when I'm finished, so that I don't bump it and break it. Printing is quick on text documents and a little slower on photos, but the quality is excellent, so I don't mind the speed being a little slow.Everything you need comes in the box, but don't forget to purchase extra ink, as the cartridges that come with it contain less ink. I've had this printer for about a month and have used it a LOT. So far, NO paper jams! All in all, I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend this printer to anyone looking for a good home or small business printer. Thanks for listening, HP!

Prints fairly slowly; uses a LOT of ink. It is does have a lot of functions but it's gone through an entire set of ink very quickly and I did not use a lot of color printed items and always chose black and white when possible or the ink-saving mode etc.

It is an OK printer. But if you print picture I bet this thing will just suck up the ink like a hog. I only print document and got this for my home for my home office but regretting it with the ink use. I will likely refill or get new ink when it is time, give it another go and see how it does but yeah it's an ink hog.

It also felt a little clumsy unboxin and inserting the paper because there are two drawers but the bottom one doesn't really have a great glide in then in order to set up you HAVE to put photo paper in the little tray above the main tray. Thankfully it came with this set though but was weird. Setting it up and connecting to WiFi etc was a breeze.
Aside from that, it does everything else promised and is a very compact all in one so I can see how tempting it is. I would check out other reviews for this printer or other printers before deciding.

This is not really my favorite to use all in one printer at all. Its huge, its heavy and its slow to spool up and the software sucks. My last Canon lasted me years that's why I am back to purchase another. I just want to easely print stuff for the cheap. I don't do a lot photos (or fax) so I really can't comment on a huge difference in quality. I do think my old Epson Artisan had tad better photo print quality and faster spooling. I do a lot of CD printing and I liked Epson CD printing much MUCH better! This Cannon model you have to manually take out the CD print tray and engage the printer software to except the CD tray into the printer then line it up with the arrows on the the tray, poor engineering. The Epson was much easier, just place CD on the tray and print it, nothing to remove line up or replace. The Canon Cd printing software is lacking as well compared to Epson's simplicity. The Canon software included compared to Epson's, Epson wins hands down. The scan software is no where close to the advanced features of the Epson. I will just use my Epson Perfection V370 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with scan-to-cloud & 4800 x 9600 dpi for scanning important pictures etc.But not only is the Epson models known for their ink clogging issues, the model I had (Epson Artisan 700 series) was a 6 cartridge unit. This is another reason why I chose the Canon again. Before I buy a printer I always check aftermarket print cartridges, they are cheap for this Canon model. I purchased 28pcs for only $23.So my conclusion is what good is a printer if it gets clogged up. Tried unclogging the Epson using several methods, without success. now its in the landfill after just a little over a year or two's use and a bunch of new now worthless cartridges. Nothings perfect in ether printer just hope this Canon gives me good service.

Although a bit heavy, it prints well and the wireless works cleanly. However, there is one major drawback - there are five print cartridges. There is a large black, three color, and a small black for photos. Although I print exclusively in black and white, the printer insists on using the color cartridges for some unknown reason. They run out quickly, being small, and are expensive to replace. This is an expensive downside - I am always replacing color cartridge that I do not need or use. Further, the printer refuses to print at all when any of the cartridges is empty, forcing you to go replace the cartridge you don't want and don't need. Very irritating and expensive.

There are many things to love about this printer. Fast. Good print quality. Easy scanner access. The best wireless support I've ever seen in a printer. Support for Google Cloud Print. Templates, etc.

However, I have had this printer for 20 months (bought in March 2013), and now its alignment is faulty. Text is blurry, and all black is printed "double-struck", exactly as shown in this forum discussion: http://forums.usa.canon.com/t5/Printer-Multifunction-Support/MX922-PGBK-Twisted-Grid-see-pix/m-p/114119 . I worked with Canon technical support, and they say that the printer has to be serviced or replaced. Yeah, that's exactly what I need as I try to print my family Christmas letter.

What is it about inkjet printers such that they die about every two years?

This printer is quite large and takes up a lot of space compared to other printers I have owned. IT is very nice looking, sleek and clean but just is large. The printer is great for quality of printing and speed. It was relatively easy to set up and easy to get working accept for the FAX. The FAX set up is relatively easy to do but the manual that came with the printer was not very thorough. It took some time to discover where to find the FAX set up. After struggling through all the various FAX settings I was able to send a FAX but was not able to receive a FAX. I went to the online Canon support site I discovered this printer needs a very specific phone line arrangement in order for it to receive an incoming FAX signal. After much investigating I discovered I HAVE to attach my phone and answering machine DIRECTLY to our PIxma MX922. They can not stand alone in different rooms or hooked up to different but parallel phone jacks. This is the only printer/FAX that I have owned that REQUIRED my phone base and my answering machine to be hooked up directly into the printer/FAX and not stand alone. All my other printer/FAXES could be hooked up parallel with the phone on one jack and the printer in a different room on another jack. My problem is that my phone system is a base system with several remote phones throughout the house. I have my base and answering machine in our downstairs main floor living area where we spend the majority of our time. In my upstairs home office I have a remote phone that does not need a wall jack plus a phone line that the printer/FAX is hooked up. However, this printer REQUIRES that your main base phone/answering machine HAS to be hooked up directly to the printer. I have two choices........1) move my phone base and answering machine up to my small home office where it will not be convenient for checking phone messages since I do not spend the majority of my time in my home office area. or 2) move my printer down into my main living area so my phone base/answering machine can be hooked up directly to the printer. Neither choice is convenient. I guess I do have a 3rd choice. ......return this printer and get one that does not require phone/ answering machine to be hooked into it to receive a FAX. This part of the design is very poor in my opinion but I will keep the printer because I do love the quality and easy way it works, I just don't want this printer sitting in my living room in order to do the required hookup to my answering machine.

The print quality is good, but we had to spend more than an hour on the phone with tech support setting it up (I've never had to call tech support to set up something like a printer). Also, the printer stopped working after a few days and continues to give an error message saying that the paper tray is empty, although it's not. We are using it with a Mac computer and I see there are a lot of online boards, going back to 2016, saying that the computer gives this error message with Mac computers. It sounds like there might need to be photo paper in the photo paper tray to allow it to print on regular paper (even if you are not trying to print on photo paper). I don't know yet because I don't have photo paper. Very annoying.

When I can get this printer to work, it prints beautiful photos. However, it's a daily struggle to get this printer to stay on the Wifi to print wirelessly and it's a huge struggle to get the printer to print on photo paper. The problem is that HP wants customers to use its papers. I happen to love Epson photo paper and want to use it in 4x6 size to print my photos. HP made the photo tray to this printer just a little bigger than 4x6 and made their paper match that size exactly. Unfortunately, any other 4x6 size paper will result in a sensor error, so instead of using the convenient photo tray, you have to wrangle the printer to get the paper to work correctly. Search the HP forums for something like HP 5660 won't print on photo paper and you'll see what I'm talking about. Also, the HP customer support is some of the worst support I've ever had to deal with. My next printer will not be HP. I feel like I need to use this one for at least a year to get my money's worth, though.

The printer worked fine the first day. The second day, the color cartridge malfunctioned and would not print yellow or magenta.I called HP and after an hour of technical support they asked me to look at the date on the cartridge. The color cartridge that came with the computer expired on 12/31/2016! The HP tech said the cartridge was expired and the ink was bad, and because it was expired it wasn’t under warranty!!! After much argument HP agreed to send me a spare cartridge. It’s VERY disappointing that a printer I purchased in January 2017 from this seller, came with an expired cartridge right from the start. I emailed seller on 1/17/17 and never got a response!

software was glitchy, i had alot of trouble hooking up 3 cpus, and i'm great with this stuff. I did get it to work so we will have to wait and see. Also didn't like the fact that I couldn't send a scan to where ever I decided, (according to tech support) it had to go to file explorer. Well, i figured out a way to put it right on the desktop. I don't want to search for my new scans, plus i made it pop up on new scans too.

Have had the printer about three weeks. Am a senior and prefer having paper instructions. This only comes with setup instructions. It doesn't take a SD card from my camera [or I don't know where to find it }. It does print quickly from my phone. The holder that slides out to hold the paper no longer slides back in. After only using it a few times. ?? That is disappointing as it is not convenient to have it out when not in use. I find putting paper in inconvenient. ie sliding the tray out etc. Doesn't hold as much paper as my old HP, or photo paper. It's an OK printer but I liked my old one better.

First printer stopped working after 4-5 days. Called HP. They were very nice and tried to be helpful but ultimately I wasted well over four hours on the phone with tech support to learn (what I already knew) the printer's wireless card was faulty. To HP's credit, they sent me a new printer in a few days. I set up the new one. Works fine but it is very loud -- to the point that it sounds like something is stuck in it. Nothing is stuck in it. I guess -- other than the loudness, the days I waited to get a replacement, and the hours & hours I spent on the phone with HP, it's an okay purchase. The loudness is a bit annoying. I don't even want to get on the phone with HP again. I already wasted all that time so I will 'suck it up' and live with the noise.

Got this on sale but you'd be better off with another model. I would not buy this is I had it to do over.

Pros:
1. Performs lots of functions; still has dial-up fax capabilities if you need that. Also has scanner bed and functions as standard printer.
2. Relatively low profile - not small, but not too tall and will fit in a space with less clearance than a lot of the HP's with tall paper feeders.
3. Quite good printing quality - both standard letter and photo, though can be very slow. Cannot see a significant difference between this and the MG7720, which uses six inks.
4. Two separate paper trays - the top one is much smaller than the bottom, but the top one can be dedicated for example for 4x6 or 5x7 photo paper. Larger bottom tray is intended for standard letter-sized or similar paper.
5. Has multiple connection options - can connect printer via Ethernet, USB, or Wireless; has traditional phone line connection for fax
6. Ink is easy to replace and the cartridges have red lights which blink when low, though you can't see them unless you access the ink bay.

Cons:
1. No touch screen. Menu is accessed through a physical button pad to toggle and select functions. Probably not a big deal for some, but can really slow things down a bit for some functions.
2. Lower paper tray is small compared to some competitors and at the very bottom of the printer, so any obstacle, if you have a lip on your table, etc might make it difficult to slide open.
3. Doesn't respond or print nearly as fast as the MG7720, though speeds in the specs are similar. MUCH slower than the M7720 for photos. Makes a lot of noise and is idle much of the time during a print job, even with a very strong Orbi network nearby. This is the only one of my six printers that exhibits this behavior, and my HP printer in the same room is much faster.
4. Relatively large footprint and fairly heavy.
5. Maintaining wireless connectivity is an issue....if printer is not used for a day or so, it disconnects from the network and has to be power-cycled to resume connectivity. Extremely annoying, and something my HP printers do not do. Apparently it is a widespread issue and often discussed in tech forums. Canon seems to like to blame the router, but the issue is clearly with the printer and it's the client's responsibility to sustain a connection to the network. Cannot find anything in the settings to prevent this.
6. Sucks ink - but then, so do most inkjet printers. Canon ink replacement cartridges are quite expensive, one complete replacement set is almost as expensive as the printer itself was. This printer uses five separate inks.

Four tries over the course of the past six months, and it finally seems as if I have received a Canon MX922 printer that works properly. I say 'seems' because I haven't put this one through its paces yet. I've printed some Word documents and test picture prints on 8.5”-by-11” copy paper and everything's all right. That's more than I can say for MX922s numbers one, two, and three.

But there's an awful lot this printer is supposed to do, from operating wirelessly to scanning and copying and faxing, as well as providing a bunch of fancy-schmancy applications for preparing and executing the manufacture and storage of your photos. I had no luck using these functions with my three previous model MX922s. For one thing, the setup is so complex and time-consuming (two manuals [online and very inconvenient], 170 or so pages collectively, if memory serves) that I haven't availed myself of most of the MX922's features this go-round.

So my evaluation of the machine is a guarded 'ok', until I delve into some of the other tasks it claims to perform.

But the inconvenience of having to return three MX922s, let alone having to spend a good deal of time working in conjunction with Canon's service people by phone is, right there, enough to dissuade me from trying this model again should the present printer go on the fritz. The fact that I finally came into possession of a functioning unit – so far, within very narrow limits – has led me to add a second twinkler to my rating of this product. If it fails within the next year or so, you can be sure I'll remove a star.

By the way, the MX922 is the approximate size and weight of a battleship, which should render it somewhat cumbersome and space-consuming in many a home office.

2nd update: The paper handling of this printer is the worst I have ever had, no matter the brand. It thinks there is no paper when there is an inch of paper, or a 1/2 inch, or cardstock, or photo paper. It will print the second sheet in the feeder after successfully printing the first sheet over and over in testing. It wastes checks, photo paper, cardstock, ink, and time. Don't waste your money. I have had this since 2016 and I'm finished. Shopping. And now Canon-shy. When it works as expected, it works great, thus the 2 stars I left.

Update: I reduced this printer by 2 stars after using it for several months for these reasons:
1. It will not print on cardstock. Not the heavy stuff, but the plain old, everyday card stock that every printer I have ever owned handled like a dream. At best, I can get 2 pages before the first jam. After that, it is constant jamming (which means nothing fed at all, because there is also no jam). I have to take every file from this job to my other job to print on cardstock.

2. I have to arm wrestle the paper drawer to get it to open about 60% of the time. Seriously, it is a BATTLE. The rest of the time, it is easy, but that is less than half the time.

3. I really miss the manual feed tray I have had on all past printers. Sometimes, I just want to print a small job on different paper (or cardstock), but it is not a feature of this printer and I REALLY miss it.

Other than that, I have no issues with it. It's simple to change the ink. It prints very nicely - in fact, I just printed up 100 wedding invitations and they are perfect.

Bought this (which was number 1 best seller) to replace ny much older Canon PIXMA which died suddenly. This works great, does everything it's supposed to do and supports airprint which the old one didn't . Only 4 stars because it takes a long time to power up and get ready, and printing is quite slow. Other than that, it's great.
Reduced to two stars. I don't need to print much but when I do, I want the printer to just work.
Landed up buying a plain black/white laser printer for most of my normal printing and keep this for color only.
The problems with this printer are ink and connection....
Ink - always an issue with black - mostly too light, even when tank is full, even with a new ink cartridge. Endless adjusting and wasted paper.
Cleaning or Deep cleaning takes time and burns ink.
Connection - it has Ethernet, USB and Wifi, but only one of them can be setup and used (either Ethernet or WIfi) for network mode. Wifi is slow and I feel like some data is missed, which makes the output useless. I land up using USB more than networked mode, which defeats the purpose because wifi mode is needed for tablets without usb

I bought this printer because it was able to scan, copy, fax, print, etc. I usually have good experiences with Canon products, but I can't say that with this printer AT ALL.

1) This is my main issue - the printer does a LOT of thinking. From the moment you turn it on and ask it to print, it decides to make a bunch of noises for 10-15 minutes while it's "thinking" then it finally prints out your items. But when it finally does print, it does it fairly quickly... It's just that the process up to the actual printing takes so long that you have boiled over in anger and impatience and are doing everything thing you can not to toss the hell-forsaken thing across the room! And GOD FORBID you press the cancel button in the middle of printing because then the printer gets pissed at you for interrupting it's "mojo" and decides to do even more "thinking" for then next 15 minutes while a message on the screen says to "please wait momentarily" which is a load of crap because it NEVER RESOLVES. You end up turning the printer off and once again, withholding all anger from smashing the thing to pieces.

2) You can't scan and print. You can only scan and save (to USB, to email, to computer). I wish I could just scan it and it would print a copy right then and there. Now I have to save it to the USB, take it to be laptop then have it printed from there. It's ridiculous!

One day it just decided that it wouldn't accept commands from my computer anymore. Even when I plugged a cord DIRECTLY into the printer from my computer, it still refuses to acknowledge any commands to print. I felt the hulk boiling up inside of me. Man, it took everything I had to not take a sledge hammer to the printer.

Luckily it's still under warranty and I'm SENDING IT BACK. I had less problems with my little $20 HP printer. So be forewarned! If you want to save yourself money in anger management therapy and have no desire to feel anger like the hulk, I would stay clear of this printer.

You've been warned.

If there is one thing good about having a printer at home, it is printing any document quickly and once you need it. Otherwise, I have a printer at work that I can use!Now if this product's software is so retarded, to the point of having some sort of random error more than 50% of the times, it defeats the whole purpose of having a printer at home!Any subtle change in literally anything, can throw this printer's software off. Even if I change the internet password or change the ink cartilage, the software stops recognizing the internet network, and the laptop stops seeing the printer, and you have to restart everything now (while you are getting late now because you thought you had the luxury of printing at home and at will). The software is frustrating, nerve wrecking, and very whimsical (spontaneously starts working, then spontaneously chooses to stop).It is just frustrating to see this sophisticated machine in front of you, but you simply can't use because of its retarded software.I needed to print documents urgently about 10 times throughout the last year, and this printer turned me down in at least 75% of the time.I am so disappointed with HP honestly.Thanks for nothing.

Slow to respond with print command. Noisy. Getiing "printer off-line" message almost constantly. Had to pay local computer tech to come twice to resolve issue. Even though I have a wireless network he still had to connect the printer with a cable to my laptop to get it working. It makes great copies but I wouldn't buy it again. It's been too much trouble. My other HP printer (3050A) is about 10 years old and performs like a charm on the network. Should have purchased that instead of the Envy 5660.

This "All-in-One" printer sucks at scanning. I attempted to contact the seller and let them know but I have yet to receive a response. The printer is good at printing and wireless set up is easy. Scanning is just a nightmare, I should have done more research. If you don't care for scanning documents and are only interested in printing, then this is great. If you are even mildly interested in scanning, do not purchase this printer, it is time consuming to scan a couple pages and if your scanning wirelessly, the printer loses connection after scanning two documents. I want to like it, but I don't. I am just dealing with my lack of research as a result.

After using this on a number of prints I've come to the conclusion that this is a terrible photo printer. The ink is insanely expensive and will not get you very many prints, even when you buy XL cartridges! To add insult to injury, the prints are streaky! At first I thought it was an issue with the stability of the table it was on, but regardless of where it is placed, or the settings, there are obvious streaks. This would be fine if it weren't a damn PHOTO printer. I am extremely disappointed. Stay awayEdit: I switched from an ink guzzling, insanely confusing Epson printer to this great HP printer. The ink is a double edged sword for HP printers, while I was able to squeeze about 20 full-colored photo prints out of the tri-color cartridge, some of the photos were streaky, and I find it extremely wasteful that to replace just one color, you have to replace all colors. Where Epson wouldn't let you print black and white if you didnt have color installed, HP lets you print whatever regardless of your ink levels... this is a very nice change.Still it is a bit wasteful to have to discard all your colored inks because youre low on just blue-- it's a trade off.The setup for this printer may be confusing if you use Mac, just a headsup, don't expect out of the box printing.This is a pretty decent all-in-one. The scan quality and software is great, takes a little getting used to, but pretty good. its got a max dpi of 1200 for scans, great.As a printer, its just okay. Some of the photos I printed were streaky, the colors were a bit off, not so great. It prints at a relatively fast speed, so at least there's that.The monitor and touchscreen are really great, all-in-all, its decent.

Setup, convenience, print quality all good. As others have noted it constantly phones home to HP unless you do a fair bit of customized setup to prevent this. The cartridges that come with printer are special new printer cartridges that run out fast. HP really pushes the Instant Ink program. The Instant Ink program sucked for me. You have to use special Instant Ink cartridges and let the computer report to HP. I was billed about $6 every month. I went several months with little printer use. Then I signed up for a college class and started using it quite a bit. I was billed extra for exceeding my monthly allotment. All those $6 payments? Well customer service tells me, I "could have" used the printer those months. So I cancel Instant Ink. Now the printer won't print. I buy standard ink cartridges for half the price of the printer that don't last as long as the half-full Instant Ink cartridges that won't work now. And was billed for another month of Instant Ink. I called to complain, had to get a manager, and only when he confirmed the printer had reported the removal of the Instant Ink cartridges and HP had sent me new standard cartridges did they refund the last charge.Today the printer is about a year old. Printed a few single pages fine. Then halfway through a black text page it quits and tells me there is an error. The HP utility on MS Windows shows a half full color cartridge and error for black cartridge. Screen on printer tells me to remove and reinstall the color cartridge. I try this and no help. Printer says color cartridge is bad, HP utility says black cartridge is bad. I get HP online help which shows me how to clean the cartridges and the contacts in the printer. I clean both cartridges and printer contacts as instructed. Now printer and utility show both cartridges bad. Customer service suggests I buy new cartridges (half the price of the printer again) and try that. RIGHT........This is my second HP printer that worked fine and then the warranty timer ran out :-(. Last one started slipping and wouldn't move paper through. Clean the back rollers with a damp cloth they told me. I would do that. It would work that day. Next time I had to clean them again, then finally I had to put tension on the paper and coax it through. I was looking at a Canon on sale today. Went to Canon web site and the reviews on their own web site rake it over the coals. Sigh.Days like today I want to turn back the clock and pay more up front for something that lasts and is repairable. So many products today the only fix is send it to the land fill and buy a new one. Except electronics of course. Those I have to store and take it to the special collection we have every quarter.

Great printer! It was easy to set up, and it is very pleasing to use. Good quality. No complaints (thus far)!Update (May, 2017): It was a nice printer while it lasted (not even a 1.5 years of lite use). It eventually stopped recognizing the printer cartridges and refused to print. Extremely frustrating!! I've had it with ink jet printers... Time to graduate to laser jets.

I purchased this printer to replace a Canon Pixma that was destroyed in the flooding in Louisiana earlier this year. I have never been so disappointed in a product. I decided to hook this up directly to my laptop using a usb cable, so no worry about dropping wi-fi connection etc. The usb cable is brand new also. Every time I printed something, words were missing. Test page printed out perfectly. Head alignment was fine. I tried printing different emails and documents. Same thing, words or sometimes strings of words were missing. Didn't matter if I printed in color or black & white. I don't have time to keep messing with this to get it to work. I'm returning the printer.

I wish I could give this atrocity of a printer 0 stars. I've had my share of run-ins with printers over the last couple of decades or so, and plenty of paper jams along the way. Most resolved within minutes. One especially tricky jam took me 30 minutes, a pair of tweezers, and loads of patience, but I got it working again.

What I've never had is a printer that completely stops working because of a simple paper jam!

I've owned this printer for about 4 months when I had a paper jam last week. I turned off the printer, removed the stuck piece of paper, canceled the print job, and turned the printer back on . . . and got the Support Code of Death: 6000.

Since then I have literally spent hours, HOURS, of my life trying to fix this issue. I have read all the detailed instructions on the canon support website, followed them, with a flashlight I might add, all to no avail. I've combed numerous websites, repeatedly done a hard reset while also restarting my computer, and nothing, NOTHING has worked.

This seems to be, in part, because there's no easy way to access the feed rollers from above. Every other printer I've ever owned has allowed you to pop it open so that you have complete access to the feed rollers. This almost always allows easy removal of any stuck pieces of paper. This printer does not allow for that. You can access the feed rollers from the bottom by removal of the paper trays (just make sure you don't accidentally cause a spring to fall out cause getting it back in is a nightmare) which is of limited usefulness, or, you have to try to cram your hand into a small opening in the front of the printer. Utter stupidity in design.

This may be one of the reasons why this brand of printer has been plagued by just such problems for many years. It's a fact of life that everything has to break down eventually, I mean, entropy, it's not just a buzzword! But I think we can all agree that a printer should last for more than four months and that a simple, routine paper jam should not be enough to cause it's untimely death.

Also, for those of you who might be inclined to think I'm too simple to understand how to fix such a basic problem, my husband, who is a lead software engineer with almost 20 years of experience in industry (and I know, software is not the same as hardware, but it's a printer, and he's very familiar with those) ended up being "What the %#%*$#%&&!!!!" because he couldn't figure it out either. What I'm saying is this: if two reasonably intelligent mammals who know how to properly frame their internet queries and follow instructions can't, after many hours, get this thing working again, it's probably not worth the time, effort, or your hard earned money.

Horrible Printer. I purchased one and while the biggest issues were connectivity and waiting time to print it worked fine. I moved and it didn't function at all when I arrived at my second home. So I bought another one. I had the same issues with the amount of time it takes between the time you hit print button and the time that it printed document. However the second printer function for only four days and then it stopped working altogether. The same conductivity issues I experience with the first especially the second one however it appeared to be fatal to the printer. So now I am moving towards Epson printers to see what will be in store for me. The reason for one star is because of the conductivity issues as well as the time it takes to run a document. Additionally it is because the printer itself so delicate that any type of jarring/handling (like the print tray automatically opening up), will cause it not to function well.

It would be difficult for me to hate any equipment more than I hate this printer. I had been using an older Canon dedicated photo printer, which was GREAT. But when my XP finally gave out and I had to get a new computer, my old printer would not work with V8.1, so I got this one. It has so many options that it it is far from intuitive to use. Once you figure it out, it takes FOREVER to print anything! The quality of the print is probably fine, but it is just so exasperating to get to that point. (For example, to print a 4x6 color photo, it took 2-1/2 minutes of this printer grinding away just to prepare to print, and then it took 50 seconds for the 4x6 to actually print. It took 2:32 to print an 8.5x11 photo which did not even cover the whole page. Ridiculous!) I have a much better Epson scanner and am thinking of getting a dedicated Epson photo printer. Even if it costs hundreds of dollars more, it might be worth it to bypass the frustration of using this thing. I'm also still annoyed with Canon for not offering some kind of upgrade so I could keep using my old printer.

Yes the printer displayed the dreaded "6000" error code after purchasing the printer to replace another Canon Printer MX870 that lasted about seven years and this one only lasted from February 19, 2014 to April 19, 2014 wow. I also see that others printer only lasted about the same time four months and broke for some strange reason. I contacted Canon and got "iYogi’s support services" and after installing software on my pc to allow the support person access to my pc to diagnose the printer error 6000 code, he was unable to repair or give any reason for the error and asked if I had purchased the Amazon service warranty and after checking my order from Amazon I did not. So now do I purchase another Canon or HP like the support person suggested and after reviewing the HP6600 here at Amazon it appears to be more problematic than the Canon. Which way do I go?

I have had many, many printers in my 80 years, but never one so confusing and difficult to use. When it decides to print, it does a great job. - I love the fact that you can print photos from the cellphone, but I sometimes spend an hour or two changing settings and getting help before it decides to print. Even the help sections are almost useless. When I try to get help, the printer sends me a message totally opposite of what I am asking!! I know it may be operator issues, but I have tried everything I know to get this "printer" to print.

This printer constantly loses wireless connectivity. It's probably one of the worst printers I've used due to this. Every time I go to print this I have to reinstall the printer completely.

This printer has been a nightmare since I opened the box. Crashed my home network when trying to set up mobile printing. Have not been able to print consistently from my phone. Maybe a 10% success rate. Existing photos on my computer will not print from the 4x6 photo tray no matter what I do. I am tired of talking to India. I have been using HP printers for nearly 20 years. Paid $700.00 for my first Photosmart and it performed perfectly for 12 years. Next photo printer all-in-one worked pretty good too. This one not so much. You sometimes don't get what you paid for, even if it was inexpensive.

Ordered in September and finally installed it in my office this week. Would not print as it required me to sign up for Instant Ink. After calling and talking to support (5 different people), we finally realized it was sent with "Instant Ink" cartridges. The Amazon sender had replaced the manufacturers ink cartridges. After $62 worth of cartridges, it finally worked. Sounded terrible but since it was working and I had a deadline I continued to work with it. Next day first time to print it said there was a paper jam. No paper was in the unit. Will not work at all now. eginning to think the seller sent me a refurbished unit. I do not recommend nor will I buy again.

I read the reviews before I purchased this and thought it would be a good choice. I received it faster than expected, which was a plus. But from the time I plugged it in, it didn't work properly. The set up procedure wasn't working right. I installed the ink and paper, but it kept telling me I had a paper jam and/or there was something in the way of the ink cartridges. There was no paper jam and nothing blocking the ink. It just wouldn't slide properly. I ended up returning this and going to my local Best Buy and purchasing one. That was set up great and have had no n problems.

I bought this to replace an old HP photosmart printer and my primary goal was to replace it with one that would be trouble-free and not require constant hand-holding to work. Unfortunately, this one has a major glitch which is causing me to return it. After any print job, the printer will not copy a document from the glass without restarting the printer. It gets stuck on a spinning circle screen, spits out a sheet of blank paper and says "print cancelled". The printer restart is not very quick because it seems to be stuck in that spinning circle mode. In any case, who wants to restart your printer every time you want to make a copy? This is a known issue to HP without an apparent solution. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/hpenvy-5660-will-not-copy-from-glass-without-restarting/m-p/5123391/highlight/false#M120559
