Setup is a nightmare under Vista!
Downloaded the newest drivers from the Canon website.
Wifi: doesn’t work. Can’t find support for WPA.
LAN: doesn’t work either, no idea why. I tried to type the ip address into the find printer dialog, still can’t find it.
USB: printing works but not scanning
I can’t believe I paid 200.- for a usb printer
I rarely submit reviews. This all in one has taken now over 4 hours of my time. 4 hours that I could have been playing with my kids, reading, or any number of things. Getting it to work has become a Stephan King-like obsesion.
The directions are lousy. It works sometimes and not others, recognizes my wireless network sometimes but not others. It is a piece of trash.
Why not returnn it you say? Because it is not Amazon’s fault. Canon support sucks to non-existent.
But if my geeky friends cannot get it to work, which they also have not been able to, then we all have decided to have a Canon burning. Get some friends. a few good bottles of cava, a reporter or two, my flip, which I bought from Amazon and is great, and light it on fire, in a green way. Maybe just a little flame and a big pick-ax.
Unless it comes to life, look for it on Youtube or a local Boston station
They have created a printer with proprietary chips in the ink cartridges. I will stay away. There are better printers on the market
I bought this printer based on the great reviews that I found here. It is the fourth all-in-one that I have owned and it will definitely be the last canon I ever get. I had a Dell before this, but it would not work with my new mac, so I had to get a new machine. I so wish I could still use my old Dell, or that I had the sense to go with an HP. This machine is so impossible to work. It is a production to scan something into the computer without using the document feeder. Changing ink cartridges is a pain in the neck, and the whole issue with 2 back cartridges just is a waste, but it is consistent with the canon’s way of working. I use color with my work, so I have always had a color printer. Since I do not print photos, I can’t say how it works with those, but the quality when I print is definitely lower than I have been accustomed to.
I should have know this was going to be a problem machine when it took me a couple of hours to set it up. My other printers were much, much easier, just plug in all the cords, pop in the disk and presto, you are done. None of this fax notification business, I could fax immediately.
All in all, canon should stick to cameras and forget the printer business.Canon PIXMA MX860 Wireless All-In-One Photo Printer
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.
