I comparison shopped and picked this machine as the best for me. I was fooled. It is always OFFLINE. I can't get it back online no matter what I try. Go on to another printer.

It may print double-sided, but c'mon...MANUAL 2x scanning from the ADF? For this price point, it should be automatic. Nowhere in the documentation did it say it could or could not do this function. I use it all the time, so not sure how long I'll be keeping this printer. First time out, I needed to print envelopes from the back feeder, which did not go smoothly. Sent to print a number of times, would only get one to print, then 5 or 6 blanks run through. App said it printed, but did not. Then there was the smudging and ink runs. This did get better as more pages were printed, but definitely not a good first impression. This is my first tank printer, so I'm curious to see how well it works out. The thought of replacing expensive and wasteful cartridges was a selling point.

Great, efficient printer. Could work a bit faster but it is fine.

Semi-Disappointment. Canon, Why did you do this?. I bought this printer to replace a Canon MX922. What a disappointment when I found (after I set it all up) it WILL NOT do borderless prints like all other 'Standard' printers. This is a regression back to 1997, not a progression forward. Nor is it listed that it will not do borderless. I assumed it would be the same as the older MX922. I got this new print mainly because the ink was getting harder to find in my area. Amazon has generic Ink, but I wanted Canon ink. Canon Can this be 'fixed' via a firmware update? Why will it not print borderless? Been a Canon user for as long as I can recall. Canon Cameras Kiss-X, 40D, R7. Printers, MP500, MX922, Colarado 62". I am utterly disappointed in Canon's direction for this printer.

Excellent printer and supper motivated support. They just need a better database of error messages. Finally, a search of the Internet for the error found a better solution than their dedicated support engineers.

I bought this printer to replace a Canon Pix maMX922. What a disappointment. It claims to do duplex scanning, even has instructions for it, yet it does not. You are prompted to flip every sheet, push OK, and it an entirely manual effort. It scans slower than the MX922, also. What the MX922 did easily and elegantly, the GX 4020 cannot. The screen is smaller, B&W, and quirky. Options are limited and the setup does not work. You are better off downloading the drivers from Canon and doing it manually. The ink is much more expensive than the MX922's. I'd be willing to live with that, if the printer worked as advertised.

Setup on this printer was an absolute breeze. I think it is the best Canon printer we have owned yet.

Bought this 6 months ago and EVERY time, it's an ordeal to get it to print things off my laptop (or the family laptops). It needs a high signal strength for connectivity or forget it. I always have to make sure my laptop has not switched to a lower connectivity signal or they won't 'talk'

I have been a Canon printer user for about a decade. Each new one gets smaller with the same or more features. The GX4020 is no exception. It was a little harder for me to get totally connected but that was probably user error, more than anything. It is giving me everything I need right now.

I like this printer. It was very easy to set up. I think it prints a bit too slowly, but it works, and that's the most important thing. I've had a little trouble with scanning multiple-page documents, but I think I'll conquer that over time. I bought it to replace my Canon Pixma MG5520 which lasted a very long time, and I have similar hopes for this printer.

I bought this for light home use. Initial setup was fine, but then I started running into problems. I tried to set up scan to email. The error codes are difficult to understand, and the instructions are not much help. Be prepared to do some intermediate network configuration. After two hours, I finally gave up. I am pretty sure I did everything correct - I checked and doubled checked everything. I googled this problem and found a lot of people had this problem, so I just gave up. Then I tried to print from the rear flat feed tray, and I keep getting an error. It says the transport tray has been removed, but it's back there. Again, I've spent an hour making sure it's installed properly, and I've tried other workarounds, but it just will not work. The information on this error code on the website is worthless. Maybe I got a defective unit, or maybe I'm doing something wrong? I don't know, but I've wasted a Sunday afternoon trying to get this to work like it should. I'm returning it to Staples tomorrow. Terrible experience.

Much better than my last printer which was an HP. Dropping that into the trash was a beautiful day. There are only a couple of things I'm not a fan of of. This printer shut itself off too soon, I go hours between printing and I have to get up to turn is back on several times a day. Maybe auto shut off after a longer time would be helpful. Also, I have to get up to confirm yes my paper size is 8.5x11 when I place a check in the printer to print. I also had to shut down the rear paper tray (I hate those rear trays, personal preference) The printer was always trying to print from that tray. Overall I like the printer, love the extra large ink tanks.. don't like how many times a day I have to confirm something or turn the printer back on.

I've been needing a printer for personal use and work for awhile now, I'm so glad I found this one! Prints really great, pretty true to color, love that it has a scanner, helps a lot with work. I think my favorite thing about it, is that it has the eco tanks, saving on waste is important to me. They are really easy to refill, pop the top off of the bottles open the wells and press the bottle down until it's full. Highly recommend!

I love this printer! I work from home so this printer is set up in my home as a home office printer. It was very easy to set up. I really like having the ink tank vs having a traditional printer. You get tons of ink that will last a lot longer and it's so easy to fill all while saving money in the long run. The printer prints true to color and vividly. I have tested a number of different papers and document types and I have no had any issues what so ever. Photos come out stunning when using this printer. I love having the option of being able to print from my phone as well. The scanner works great and is also true to color when scanning photos. It is easy to navigate using the touch screen on the printer. This printer also has the ability to print 2 sided documents which is a nice feature to have to cut back on paper costs. Overall, I am very happy with this printer and would recommend it to others!

I have recently upgraded to the go 4020 and I can not believe how much of a benefit this has become for me. Not only is my desk no longer filled by the printer and copy/fax machine but it is so fast and easy. Setup was a breeze following the directions but I also did watch a YouTube video on it while waiting for it to arrive. This printer is very fast and all text and graphics come out looking very clean and accurate. Another great feature that I love is being able to print from my phone. I often get emails that I need hard copy's of and this prevents me from having to get into the desktop to just print an email. Now for the most beneficial feature for me is being able to easily scan documents directly to my pc or email. Not only does the give clear copies but it is fast and easy to customize how you want it to be scanned. If you are running a business at home or decide this unit fits your needs I promise you will not be disappointed.

This printer is everything I need in one and I am loving it. First off, its super easy to set up with the app. Having wifi has allowed me to print and can wirelessly from my phone which is super convenient. You can also print double sided if you need. The color and detail is perfect! I highly recommend!

I have been utilizing this printer to assist me with my photo printing for the thumblers I make for a month or more now. It was simple to set up and putting the ink in was something I had never done before, but that was easy to do and I was able to do it with a clean pour on all 4. Warning, once you put ink in it, you really can not move the machine... or the ink can spill. They tell you to put it in a plastic bag, I will not be chancing that! I use the machine all closed up, meaning I do not have to open any doors to print at all, I absolutely hate when I go to print from my phone and it doesnt because I did not leave the door or tray open. I have not had any issues with jamming either, nor streaks on my papers. The quality of the photo prints is crisp and work great for the work I do, I do use quality photo paper fyi. The printing speed is quite quick and I appreciate that! Its like going from dial up on my cheaper printer haha. The size of the machine is just taller than my compact old machine... so i keep it on my desk. One other thing is I appreciate the windows on the front of the machine that shows the actual level of the inks. I have not used the scanner on it, I always forget and just take a photo with my iphone in files! I am pleasantly pleased with this canon!

After having several printers over the years I must say this one is my favorite. It is bigger than a typical home printer but not so much that it would cause space issues. It was super easy to set up and the ink gets poured in rather than a cartridge which I really like. The bottles have slots that hook on so they do not leak while you fill it. It holds a ton so it will print for a very long time and you can easily see the ink levels on the front on the see through front area. The box shows that much ink will print thousands of pages but I have not printed enough to check yet and will likely take a long time to do so. The print quality is fantastic. It prints quietly and everything has come out perfect. Even my personal artwork so I can frame it and skip having to print it at a business which saves me a lot of money. Over all this printer is amazing. Everything all in one so I can avoid having multiple machines, very user friendly and has great print quality. I highly recommend.
