Canon PIXMA MX700 Multifunction Printer

This printer sucks

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 9, 2009

Pros: makes good quality scans

Cons: difficult to use

This printer will fight everytime you want to print something. If you have paper in the front tray, the feed switch will switch to rear, and there is nothing you can do to switch it back. If you are out of paper in one tray, it will not switch automatically, and you cannot switch it back manually without clearing the printing queue. It does produce decent scanned images, but at a snails pace. I would not recommend this machine. I will get a different printer, than I am doing my impression of Office Space on this one.

It's Good to Go!

Pros: Clarity; ease of use; value; footprint

Cons: ink cartridges cost too much

Overall, was well pleased with this product. Have owned and used it one year now without any trouble. Use all features on a recurring basis with flawless operation.

Canon failed designing this printer

Pros: Only good for a beginning computer user

Cons: Many flaws for the average or above average user

This is a very low quality printer. It wastes huge amounts of my time doing seemingly nothing. Every time I power it up it wastes at least a minute or more of my time doing some sort of housekeeping chores. It won't tell you what it's doing but it sure won't let you use it till it's done. And guess what, if you wait more than a few seconds between printings, it does the housekeeping chores all over again. And there's no way to stop it from doing this. Canon's software writers are responsible for this printer's failings. A more important fact is the quality of the printing is no where near what they stated it would be. I had a much less expensive Canon printer before this one that gave me identical results. And to add insult to injury, Canon is now putting computer chips on their ink cartridges so you can't use after market quality ink in their printer. You end up spending hundreds more than you planned to spend using their printers. Do yourself a favor & go to Walgreens or Kinkos to get your printing done. I am.
