It’s no wonder Canon took so long to come up with wireless printers–they had no idea of what they’re doing. I got this MX860 the other night and there are about 60 pages on how to setup one’s network. Apparently, one can not setup the network from the printer and printer screen, as they could with normal printers like Brother, HP, etc.
You have to start a USB connection and run an install program that runs as slow as dirt to run wireless on this printer. This is like starting a jet by pulling it by horses. It baffles the imagination that Canon could make this so convoluted and over-complicated. In addition to that Canon fills up your computer with garbage.
It loads up about five programs into your startup tray, which bogs down your computer, and really serves no purpose at all.
No thanks! This baby is shipping back and I’ll look at a company that knows how to make a printer like Brother or Epson.
I was excited to receive this AIO – now I would be able to do all my scanning, copying and printing with one machine. How wrong I was. First of all,even setting the thing up is a nightmare and I’m hardly a beginner. You have to install the print head which didn’t fit too well in its slot. After buying printers that do this for you, this was a bit of a shock. Then the print cartridges were impossible to install. They simply don’t fit.I took the cartridges out, Then I got a scraping sound when I turned the machine off then on and tried to start over. I got an error message telling me to consult the manual – which you can’t install until the print head and cartridges are installed.
I bought this on a whim since I was looking for an AIO and Amazon was having a sale. Even if it were free, I wouldn’t accept another example of this monster. I’m headed back to HP.
After exhaustive research from tons of resources online, I chose a Canon printer product because of all the top ratings they receive. This model was shipped quickly and arrived well-packaged and undamaged. Putting it together was pretty simple, inserting all the printer ink modules went smoothly, plugged it in and the printer started booting up quickly. Then my daughter and I realized there was no cable included with the printer that enables you to connect it to your laptop to download the drivers, etc. It is no doubt my fault for not noticing I needed to buy a cable. I am not a happy camper that Canon sells these printers, and they aren’t cheap, by the way, without ALL the parts necessary to make them run. Now I have to obtain the right cable to download necessary operating features. I have absolutely no idea if the printer is excellent, average or junk, since I COULD NOT SET IT UP. I will obtain the cable, get it up and running and return with a full review. I DO think Canon and other vendors of printers should re-think their policy of selling the cables as add-ons. It’s like buying a toaster or coffee maker, then having to have an electrician come in and install an electrical cord and plug so it will power up. RIDICULOUS!
Haven’t used enough to give rating on economy but I like most everything about the unit. Just a little slow to start up.
I found this very easy to set up. I just followed the steps and had absolutely no problems. I was concerned about installing the print head, but I did exactly as the directions stated and demonstrated, and it went in with ease. I had no problems installing the ink cartridges, they just snap in. The print quality is excellent and print speed is good. I rarely do photo printing on my printer so I cannot comment on that. However, like most printers today, it runs out of ink very quickly (and I do not do photos). I only use it to print school work and I had to replace the black ink in less than 2 weeks. I like the individual ink cartridges so that you can replace just the ones that are empty. I have used it now for about a month. I will probably have to replace the 4 color cartridges within the next week. Brand name ink is ridiculously expensive. Two refills of each cartridge costs more than a new printer. But I don’t use the brand ink as a general rule. So considering I do not do photos and do not do a heavy amount of printing, it does use a lot of ink. But, I don’t think that you can find a printer that does not use a lot of ink today. The companies plan to make their money on the ink. I took one star off the total score because of the ink consumption.
